Have you had a chance to check out Beyoncé’s Tumblr yet? The ultra-private singer and mega-star revealed her new site last week, and I have to say, I’m in awe of the touching and peaceful moments she has chosen to share. Each photo reveals a super-sweet, super-fun side of Beyoncé and her hubby Jay-Z. Looking forward to lots more — and maybe a Blue Ivy appearance, too!

Are you a list-maker? How do you maintain your lists? Do you use special paper — a notepad, a journal — or are you more modern with your organization, typing thoughts into your iPhone or iPad? I love that Melanie from You Are My Fave is going to be sharing her lists each week. It’s so interesting to know how other people add order to their lives!
Evaluating my own habits, it seems I maintain lists in a variety of ways. I have a master to-do list word doc, where I type short- and long-term goals. Throughout the week, I accumulate a series of post-its with notes, and scribble additional random thoughts in a Moleskin journal that I carry in my bag. I also love using the Snow & Graham notepads pictured above. Come Sunday, I filter everything together into my master word doc in order of priority. A bit crazy? Yes, of course. But it’s a method that works! 🙂
Tell me — how do you stay organized? What is your most efficient trick?

I’m constantly on the hunt for clever ‘just because’ cards, so when I stumbled across the French designs above from Rifle Paper Co., I couldn’t resist sharing them here. My favorite is the one with the expression, “C’est la vie!”. Inspired by a recent trip to Paris and illustrated with a 1960s vibe, each card provides the perfect words. And all sentiments sound more beautiful in French, n’est-ce pas?

I did it! This weekend, I ran my very first 10K in New York. As a Christmas gift to my dad, I suggested we run a race together in the city. He runs much more than I do, so I figured it was a good way for me to get in shape and enjoy some father-daughter bonding, too. 🙂 It was a success — and such a pretty route running around the perimeter of Central Park. The first pic is of me right before I crossed the finish line; the second is my dad and I post-run. I look a tiny bit tired, don’t you think? But so happy to have accomplished one of my 2012 goals!
Happy Friday my darling readers! I can’t believe another week has already gone by. This weekend, I’m excited (and a bit nervous) to report that I will be running my first 10K in Central Park. Last year, I ran a 4-mile race and this year, I’m kicking it up a notch. I’m also running with my dad, which should be lots of fun! Wishing all of you a wonderful weekend ahead. Here, to get it started right, a few happy posts from around the web:
