Pet organizers for your desk

As a girl who loves to organize, I’m always on the lookout for new ways to optimize my work space. That’s exactly why these Desk Pet Organizers from Vacavaliente caught my eye. They’re so colorful and cheery, but also get the job done. There’s a space for everything: your phone, a business card, your pen. The best part? Try stealing a daytime glance at one of these creatures without cracking a smile. Just try. šŸ™‚

Save the Date: The Royal Wedding!

Could they be any cuter? Just one month from today, the world will watch as Prince William and Kate Middleton finally tie the knot! My mom watched when Diana wed Charles and still references the occasion as one of the “most regal” and “romantic” celebrations that she’s ever seen.

On April 28, my friend and I already have a sleep-over planned. At 6 a.m. on the 29th, it will be up and at ’em, perfect timing for the 11 a.m. ceremony at Westminster Abbey to begin. We’re planning to sip English Breakfast Tea while we watch, and may even nibble on scones and jam! What about you ā€” will you wake up early to see Kate marry her prince?

Birthday wishes

In honor of my dad’s birthday today, I thought I’d post a few pics from his younger years. šŸ™‚ The first one is of him as a kid growing up in Massachusetts. I love the casual attitude he has while pausing to snap this pic for his mom. The second photo is taken with me as a baby on the beach in Maine. As a kid, we spent many summers there with all my cousins and aunts and uncles too. This photo is the perfect reminder ā€” we need to plan another family trip there soon.

Happy birthday dad ā€” hope you have a great day!
