#90. Nine. Oh. Robyn who wants to take a super cheesy photo of herself at Platform 9 3/4 at King’s Cross! (London Transit put up a little memorial to Harry Potter at King’s Cross station in honor of all the Potter fans that go there every year!) She’s also making 10,000 hats for 10,000 people.

Today, Maggie and I are all giving away giant gift bags of awesome that were given at Mighty Summit. With lots of treats. Treats that you’ll actually use and wear and read and love.

Thank you, Babble for making the effort to feature writers, photographers, and storytellers who just so happen to also be raising children. And talking about it. [...]

It’s a good question. Because no matter what else I purchase, all I want to wear is some combination that looks almost exactly like this. Well, that or yoga pants & a Beyonce t-shirt. 

This is all I want for Christmas. In a size 8 1/2. And they are seriously nowhere to be found in the whole wide world web. In other words, let it be known, the New Balance WR890 in crazytown rainbow orange are the Cabbage Patch Teddy Ruxpin Tickle Me Elmo of 2011…for people who dig orange shoes. I’m [...]
