ramblings - 3.6.15

- We're flying to Ft. Lauderdale today for a long weekend of sun (hopefully) and family (definitely). While I'm a little sad to be leaving a weekend of fresh snow and ensuing coziness, the hope of vitamin D is enough to lure me away.

- Speaking of flying, I really wish there was a way to force anyone sharing a flight with us to read this article first. While no doubt very kind people, those parents did some serious damage for the rest of us.

- When we return to the snow, we have to deal with the fact that our tea kettle met an untimely demise. The few days we've been without one have been very sad (#firstworldproblem). Then I stumbled upon this image on Pinterest, and fell in love! But of course, it's unsourced. And all brands seem to have discontinued their turquoise tea kettles. And now I can't settle for anything else (#evenmorefirstworldishproblem). Does anyone have a tea kettle they love? Bonus points for color! As Will said, a colorful tea kettle is like a pocket square for the kitchen.

[He really said that. And then poked me in the side until I typed it down here. Ok then.]

- More random thoughts! I've been denying Mollie a childhood classic and straight up refusing to read Goodnight Moon to her lately. Why? Because the truly horrendous colors got to me, and I snapped. Why so much green and orange?? I think if someone digitally altered the illustrations to just change the colors they'd be doing the world a great service. In the meantime, here's a hilarious post from someone who agrees with me.

- Happy weekend...sunny or snowy!
