some fun stuff from around the Internet this week...

yep, I'm hooked on the Limetown Podcast.

what a beautiful way to fancy up a simple planter.

why you need a true hobby and not just a side-hussle.

cute tank top.

my next office redo will incorporate a standing desk.

loving this artist...

...and these plant paintings too.

made this banana bread this week...delicious and pretty "healthy" as far as banana bread goes.

inspiring books to get you drawing.

it must be almost fall because I'm spending time window shopping for yarn.

rainbow Doritos are a thing.

Kelly Purkey designed some fun rubber stamps for planners! She is kindly offering 15% off through Monday with code GTWB15. Thanks, Kelly!

and a reminder that the Building a Business ebook is now available.

from around the Internet this week...

loved this rainbow photo project.

so well-designed.

true story on a tee shirt (these are cute too).

new human-like species discovered! (it's amazing to me that we still find fossils like this.)

"could I be any more authentic?!" hipster barbie joins Instagram.

made a ton of these this week...it's a great toddler helping recipe because the ratios don't have to be perfect.

great behind the scenes on picking a book cover.

I imagine this DIY guess who? game is pretty time intensive but it just looks SO worth it.

and from me, I was honored to be a guest on the She Percolates podcast this week. The episode can be found here.

this is an art class I would love to take.

if you're looking for a great birth story to read.

and now some favorites from around the web this week...

this was insane. Taylor, Justin, I LOVE you. But to see Smelly Cat preformed live with my college girlfriends who watched every single Friends episode with me at least 10 times was just unreal.

a serious plea for the flamingo and taco emojis.

random, but I saw three really great pieces of advice on IG this week: from @ohhappyday on doing what makes you happy, from @thetinytwig on saving kid art and from @jengotch on pushing through failure.

cool update to the Instagram platform.

and Joy the Baker on making Instagram beautiful and bearable. (okay, that's enough IG.)

such inspiring photos of clay (and a great "maker" behind the scenes).

tough to look at this kitchen and not say "wow."

"Don’t send yourself into shock by immediately 'doing things.' Let yourself actually wake up." - how to be a morning person.

finally, a video game I can get behind.

the evolution of magazine covers.

I just want to get my sh*t together...or maybe I don't.

beautiful cement planters.

of course there's been a boom in the Birkenstock repair business.

And from me: I was honored to be on the Little Yellow Couch Podcast this week talking about style.

tips for finding cheap airline tickets.

it's early, but I think Santa will bring this sweet kit to my favorite two year old.

Into Thin Air becomes a movie.

watch this beautiful weaving video and feel relaxed.

Mindy Kaling on confidence (it's worth the pop-up ads to get to the article).

and from me...it was a pleasure to be a guest on this week's Around the Table podcast.
