Honor Roll
- A great post on not giving up.
- And speaking of not giving up, Domino is coming back! But wait… it may just be the equivalent of a clip show.
- For the fellas: How to dress for a date like you know what you’re doing.
- Saucy little minx. (Perhaps this one is also for the fellas. NSFW.)
- Max Wanger’s year in review is very pretty to look at.
- Sports! SPOOOORTS!
- There may be snow falling in bag, fat flakes outside as I type this, but hush! It’s beginning to look a lot like summer. (Let me have my fantasy.)
- A chic little sweater, with a very affordable price tag.
- Love, for dinosaur fans.
- I think I like these so much because I was never a girl scout. Badge envy.
- How is OK Go so awesome?

- There are some excellent resolution backgrounds at the To Resolve Project. I love that one to the right: “Work like you don’t need the money (but then, you know, get the money).”

- This video perfectly captures the mood at Alt. And it was fun to see my panel shown, about 30 seconds in!
- Eeeek! How’d you like to sleep in this every night?
- These Model-morphosis sliders let you go between bare-faced and totally made up for the runway. The transformations are fascinating.

- Food meets fashion.
- I know this has been making the rounds and you’ve probably seen it by now, but come on. How cute is Kristen Bell?
- I am flipping over the Florence Broadhurst collection for Kate Spade. One of my favorite florals ever, mixed with liberal doses of pink and on cute, ladylike clothes? Dying.
- You need these oven mitts. (Yes, need.)
- Your fridge could be sporting some ice, and I’m not talking about the kind in the freezer.
- I’m not really a ‘tote’ person (I prefer more structured bags), but I’m loving these. The reversible heart one? Yes, please.
- The prettiest terrariums.
- Stumped for a Valentine’s Day gift? How about this?
- Kids’ furniture that costs as much as (or more than!) their adult counterparts. So pretty, but would you splurge?

- Album covers, minus the members that are now gone. *
- The ultimate Alt Summit roundup (on Pinterest, natch).
- Vintage posters of Chicago’s elevated line.
- Personally, I’m more of a Tagalongs girl.
- Hysterical baby sleep positions.
- These photographs are beautiful, but I’m scared for the photographer sometimes!
* Brandon wanted to give August the name Oscar Danger Balch so that his initials would be ODB. It took me a long time to realize he was serious.

I also write daily for Babble’s Family Style blog. Here’s what I’ve been sharing over there…
- Wildly convinced you’re uncommonly beautiful.
- Cover your walls with vintage toy art!
Knock Knock is giving away a set of funny Valentines cards over on Making it Lovely’s Facebook page. Go enter, and good luck!
