I am singing a Happy Friday song to you. Can you hear it? Folks, I am a tired ducky. Tiiiiiiiiiired. I keep getting tired-derer. I think I have summer insomnia. Which will be a nice addition to my spring insomnia! The good news is (?), I now have a fun post idea about What To Read When One Has Insomnia. (hint: it involves children's books)

COOL STUFF to end the week....

Which is your favorite Oz book? Mine is this one.

Mr. Darcy tea exists!

Me, with my Scandi obsession, loved this post.

And I adored this post. I could discuss this topic ALL day long....

My friend Cherie needs to STOP IT with this. Teeny tiny tea sets?  %#$@$!&*@#! (that was the sound of me freaking OUT.) It also sounds kinda like this: "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

Outdoor Summer Games.

Did you know that Almanzo Wilder (Laura Ingalls' husband) was actually Channing Tatum??

Look at this darling playroom!

New Ikea stuff is coming!!! Love this time of year! (there's some TINY IKEA DOLLHOUSE FURNTITURE!!!)

Cool Book of the Week: 'The Joy of Origami' by Margaret Van Sicklen. Well, my girl has a new obsession. It's origami! (did the title of the book give that away??) She's done a bit of origami before at school, and recently went to a morning art camp for a week, and it was all about making things out of paper. She was so thrilled with it all! And she told me that her instructor was using this book for the origami projects. I got a copy, so we can continue our paper crafts at home. We are now living with one million paper swans. There is cut up paper everywhere. SHE LOVES IT.

I am baffled by even the simplest instructions, but she and crafty Andrew are trying to figure it all out. What's fun is that the book comes with tons of colorful and patterned paper to use. Like, there's a leopard print to make a kitty origami. It's seriously too hard for me, but the kiddo seems to love it all, so we're going to keep muddling though. (I really need Origami for Dummies, if there is such a thing.) Have a lovely weekend! I might make blueberry pie. Or I might not. I think I will. I'm talking myself into it.....
