Enumerated Update

We have had a busy week, what with wrapping up William George's school year. I will try to update on that soon, but in the meantime, here are some things I wanted to share:

1) Bad-bye: Hey Natalie Jean shuttered her blog this week. Although not surprising (posting had dwindled, and she alluded to having lost her inspiration), it's sad to lose an optimistic voice. Here's to hoping the writer's block clears once expectations are removed.

Did you read her blog? She loves Target and Meg Ryan... what could be more perfect?

2) Summer Reading: Bill Gates, an avid reader, recently shared his list of recommended summer reading. Although these are hardly "beach reads," they are on my reading list.

3) Organized: We are forever trying to increase organization and efficiency. Here is how a few minutes of organizing on Sunday can help you stay on track during the week.

4) On a serious note: The problem with oversimplifying other people's problems.

Also, related, this has application when analyzing candidates as well. When a candidate offers a simple solution to a complex issue, voters need to take note.

5) Celebrations: We are totally loving all of the images our friends are sharing of their high school and college graduates (and for parents like us who got a late start, kindergarten graduations! HA!), and I'm going to be a little sad to see the party stop.

Maybe we should be celebrating more? This article explores the link between overall happiness and celebration.

Yes to this.

Have a wonderful weekend... let's meet back here on Monday.
