Well, hi there, Friday! I’m so excited to see you. We are still in our hometown for the holiday weekend, soaking up some fun family time. The upcoming month holds big changes for our family, so I’m enjoying these last quiet days before the world goes nuts (explanation coming in a future blog post, I promise!). I hope you are relaxing, sleeping off your food coma from yesterday and finding lots of time to be lazy!
Here are some fun links from around the web, just in case you need a break from all of the family time:
This is the first year I’ve participating in Fantasy Football, so I’ve been paying more attention to the NFL than I normally do (normally I devote negative 20% of my time to NFL football). This clip of the hosts of NFL Tonight trying to work in lines from The Princess Bride into their broadcast was the best! Maybe I’ll pay more attention now! (Probably not.)
A new Hairdresser on Fire tutorial is up and it’s my favorite one so far (I say that every time, but that doesn’t mean it’s not true!). How to do a zipper braid/bun in less than two minutes. On a subway escalator. You know, in case you need to do that someday.
I love the Humans of New York blog, so this video was perfection to me!
Hooray! The “What We Wore” series on Bleubird Vintage is back! They’ve been on hiatus for a while, so I was so pleased to see this earlier this week. Love this family and their impeccable style.

Here are a few Instagram images from the past couple of weeks. I know some of these include Miss Molly, but I’d feel strange omitting them. She was a part of our family, and just because she’s gone, doesn’t mean she’s left our thoughts. You can follow our adventures on Instagram at @Crazy_Bananas.
(From top, r to l: taking creepy eyeball shots with my new macro lens, spying on Grandpa and Tate, spying on Lu and Grammy, high school reunion, me with the birthday girl, ombre Kansas sunset, my loves in fall, Tate rocking out at Cracker Barrel, Tate and Dad at Mom’s work bowling party, Miss Moo feeling not so hot, haircuts are unnerving, me and my babes)
I’m thankful for my wonderful family. My husband who loves me despite my slight obsession with Matt Smith, my daughter who thinks I’m totally embarrassing, and my son who is probably yelling at me about something insignificant as you read this.
I’m thankful for the nine wonderful years I got to spend with my dog before she passed away last week. I’m thankful we saved her from her sad life and gave her one full of happiness and lots of table scraps. I’m happy she died as a loved being.
I’m thankful for my extended family, who have served me so selflessly this year. They have been my cheerleaders, my confidants and my late night phone therapists.
I’m thankful to be starting a new era in my professional life, one that will hopefully lead me beyond my dreams.
I’m thankful for every single person who encouraged me this year, whether on purpose or not. I’m thankful I sought out wisdom and took good advice. I’m thankful for my Pathfinder and Cultivating Courage courses.
I’m thankful for good friends, who have stood by me through every tear and sadness, and cheered as I celebrated successes.
Most of all, I am thankful for clarity, joy, hope, peace and the ability to forgive myself. I’m thankful for the decision to be brave. I’m thankful for my confidence, humility and grace. I’m thankful to be able to identify what’s good about who I am, and not be ashamed to say it out loud.
And I’m thankful for you. You, who has read my silly online blathering for way longer than I ever could have imagined. You are helping me build a life for myself that is beyond what I ever could have hoped for. Thank you.
I can’t help but cry during flashmobs…consider it one of my most embarrassing weaknesses. But if you don’t at least catch your breath at this one, I’ll consider you a robot.

Happy Weekend!
/2 Comments/in Molly, Photos, web /by MeganWell, hi there, Friday! I’m so excited to see you. We are still in our hometown for the holiday weekend, soaking up some fun family time. The upcoming month holds big changes for our family, so I’m enjoying these last quiet days before the world goes nuts (explanation coming in a future blog post, I promise!). I hope you are relaxing, sleeping off your food coma from yesterday and finding lots of time to be lazy!
Here are some fun links from around the web, just in case you need a break from all of the family time:
These super creative Facebook timelines have me wanting to redesign my own!
Vintage photos of the girl who inspired Alice in Wonderland.
This is the first year I’ve participating in Fantasy Football, so I’ve been paying more attention to the NFL than I normally do (normally I devote negative 20% of my time to NFL football). This clip of the hosts of NFL Tonight trying to work in lines from The Princess Bride into their broadcast was the best! Maybe I’ll pay more attention now! (Probably not.)
I’m definitely making these spray-paint chalk stencils! What a cool project. It’s like graffiti for rule followers!
An open letter to President Obama on the state of science education. So good.
Ten people singing Taylor Swift songs better than Taylor Swift. Also, these girls are my favorite singers on the web this week. Just adorable and so talented! And now I might have to watch that damn Nashville show. Darnit, you talented kids, making me watch more television!
A new Hairdresser on Fire tutorial is up and it’s my favorite one so far (I say that every time, but that doesn’t mean it’s not true!). How to do a zipper braid/bun in less than two minutes. On a subway escalator. You know, in case you need to do that someday.
