THE BEST OF THE WORLD WIDE WEB

Happy Memorial Day Weekend! Danny and I are off to a classified location to celebrate our anniversary. Before you start your own weekend festivities take a gander at the following links that I've curated for your reading pleasure. 

 
 
THE BEST OF THE WORLD WIDE WEB
  • It was really interesting to read Angelina Jolie's piece in the New Yorker this week about testing positively for the BRCA gene. Very early on into my cancer crusade I was tested for the gene and didn't have it thankfully. I wrote about this experience in my book which will be out in August! More detes about my book next week!



  • Kendi Everyday was one of the very first blogs I discovered and started reading regularly. I've since met Kendi twice; once at Texas Style Council and once at an IFB party in NYC.  All this to say Kendi wrote a very poignant, brave post this week that I very much related to. I like an outfit post as much as the next person but when bloggers get more vulnerable and profound like Kendi did, or Mara does with her infertility, or I try do by writing about the more embarrassing parts of my cancer like  mammograms, is when blogging, just as a concept, is at its best.  


  • Macy is crawling. Everywhere. Is there something I should do? Something I should buy? She seems particularly interested in electrical wires. Advice in my comment section asap! PLEASE!

  2. Re: Electrical wires. Try hiding them behind/under furniture, or covering them with those anti-trip strips. Watch out for the electrical outlets - kids seem really attracted to them, as well!

  4. Get fown on your hands and knees and look at your house from Macy's perspectve, then.. Babyproof! You're gonna have to move stuff. Its a pain, but you'll be set for Baby #2. :) Those cords are dangerous if she chews on them or yanks a lamp off.
