Happy Weekend!

Hi everyone! I’m posting this from fabulous Las Vegas, where I’m engaging in hilarious antics with four of the most awesome friends a person could ask for. Last night we celebrated the anniversary of my birth and today (after much greasy food consumption) we are headed to the Cirque du Soleil Beatles LOVE show. Did I mention how much I love being here with my four best friends? Oh man, I’m a lucky girl.

Here are some fun links to get you through your weekend:

– If you haven’t entered our awesome giveaway yet, there’s still time! I’m taking comment entries until Sunday at midnight (see post for more details).

– The Cool Mom Picks Pinterest Page is always full of great ideas, but their Halloween page has really stepped it up a notch. I suppose it doesn’t hurt that Halloween is my favorite holiday. Bring on the zombies!

– One piece of advice you wish you’d known in your mid-twenties.

– Design Mom’s annual “What to Wear to School” series has always been incredible. But now that she and her family are living in the French countryside, it’s gotten even better. Here’s what her daughter is wearing to 8th grade. (And yes, I’m coveting the wardrobe of a 13 year old.)

– Ben Folds Five is back! And they made a music video featuring the Fraggles. Best virtual birthday present ever (from a band that has never heard of me…DO IT ANYWAY!)

– I’ve been looking for a way to incorporate my Instagram photos into my home, and these stickies might be the ticket!

– I watched this documentary this weekend, and it was wonderful! I can’t wait to share more.

– Deep dish, sun-dried tomato pizza…this is on my menu for next week!

– Musical swings on the streets of Montreal. Lu would flip if we had anything like this near us. Such beautiful art.

– Have you heard of Anna’s Second Wind? It’s the story of an amazing woman struggling to breath through every day. I have tweeted and Facebooked this, but hadn’t posted it here yet. You should check it out.

– True love in only 22 pictures. (And an update here.)

Here are a few Instagram shots from our week. You can follow our fun over there at @crazy_bananas!
