Wearin’ our buttons for Pop! Socks, no. Buttons, yes. So maybe I missed the boat on the whole pre-Thanksgiving Giving Thanks thing…but I’ve compiled a nice little list of stuff that makes me exceptionally cheerful today. 5) My Dad is officially Dave: Unplugged. (From the wires and IVs and pokey things that make it hard to sleep.) Even though he’s still in the hospital, he’s now Mobile[ish]

This post isn’t snarky, silly, or sarcastic. No memes. No misheard lyrics or whimsical pictures of my kids being childlike. And not even one reference to my cats. This is a post for my Dad.

Nora happens to attend the world’s cutest school. Sure, it’s academically awesome and socially superb and all that… …But it’s also really, really cute. Every single one of these kiddos- adorable. I’m not biased in the slightest. Kids in the hall. (It’s the quiet ones you’ve gotta watch out for.) Pretty sure she digs it here.
