five things

 comeback kid (that's my dog) by brett dennen

{as embarrassing as it is, i have to admit, i have been blasting this song in the ole' minivan lately.  something about it just makes me feel like dancing.}

{between the recipes and the toddler activities and the photo inspiration.  yup, i'm a.d.d.i.c.t.e.d.}

{it has been a long time since i've read a novel of jodi picoult.  the thing i forgot i love about her writing is that she deals with complex, heart-wretching issues.  this one didn't disappoint.  except for the ending.  a total shocker.  but a sad shocker.  and it made me mad.  i almost threw the book across the kitchen.  its been a long time since a novel made me get mad at it... *be warned!*}

{this nail polish for my little dude.  he loves his toes painted.  and this glittery grey keeps daddy happy (cause it's not pink!) and it keeps mommy happy cause its made without yucky stuff that is in normal nail polish.  apparently you can DRINK the nail polish remover.  we haven't tried it. yet.}

{jillian michael's pumpkin cranberry recipe -- ooooooh, momma.  the recipe uses pumpkin, coconut milk, maple syrup, and olive oil in place of sugar and butter.  delicious and moist.  they were a hit with both my boys!}
