What He Wore for his First Days of Kindergarten (& Friday Links)

Meet Your Teacher Day:

Jack has been very involved for several years in choosing his clothes.  And, while he occasionally needs some gentle redirecting away from clothes with characters, for the most part his style is pretty rad in my opinion. I thought I would share what he chose to wear for the first few days of Kindergarten.

First Day: 

Shirt: Bear Vader, a gift from Nona and Pops from Alaska; Gray Skinny Jeans: Old Navy, Shoes, Chuck Taylor Party High Top Sneakers: Nordstrom

Second Day:

Shirt: Star Wars Sweatshirt, H&M, Pants: Skinny Jeans, Old Navy

Third Day:

Shirt: Gap Kids, Pants: Gray Twill, H&M, Shoes: Pumas, J. Crew Kids, Backpack: Jack Skellington, Amazon

Fourth Day:

Shirt: Sweatshirt, H&M, Shorts: Old Navy, Socks: Camp Socks, Gap Kids

Some things of interest this week:

Do you ever feel as overwhelmed as I do about the stack of unread New Yorkers growing in your living room?  Well, this might be just what you need.  I have used it for a few weeks now and have found it really useful!

Rigby turns five months this weekend...gulp!  I have been making plans for his introduction to solid foods for a while now and am getting so excited to use my Baby Breeza to make some yummy things for him to try!

I'm pining for a pair of glerups! They are a bit pricey for slippers, but I practically live in my Minnetonka slippers now that my work is at home.

We made this deliciously indulgent pumpkin desert on Wednesday to welcome Fall.  I recommend that you try it at least one time this season, it's yummy!

There are a lot of restaurants in Seattle that are on my list to visit and Manolin falls near the top if only to see the gorgeous open kitchen, the beautiful bar with the dreamy turquoise brick walls, and the particularly attractive staff.  Check out the slide show in Bon Appetit.
