five little things that made my week.
1. these perfect grapes. 
{because they look like my grandmother’s plastic ones, but they’re about a million times more delicious.}
2. this apple cake (from this book).
{made with a semi-interested tiny baking companion.}
3. this eucalyptus.
{because ’tis the season to add a little bit to your house.}
{for all your kind words. (and especially because i’ve only had to scrub tiny fingerprints out of it twice.)}
5. these broken crayons.
{for turning into something new.}
other things:
really loving this diversity campaign.
dorkily into the new iOS 10 update. digital stickers! (‘specially these.)
beautiful things for kiddos at this event.
yum.
me in other places:

Yum, apple cake! We are going apple picking this weekend, and I can’t wait to bake all the things.
Funny you mentioned the eucalyptus – I just purchased a huge $5 bundle at Whole Foods yesterday and proceeded to fill jars with branches all over my house, and even in the shower. One of my favorite things to have in the house – pretty & smells good!
i always look forward to this series. your links are always awesome. thanks!
I love the tiny house article! I now live in a big house (almost 2,000 square feet for me, my sweetie, and our four children) with a real yard, but my parents and I used to live in a 24 foot travel trailer when I was a kid–before tiny houses were cool. To be honest, this fact gives me a bit of smug satisfaction whenever the topic comes up. I love knowing that I could do it again if I needed/wanted to.
Keep those broken crayons! (If you want =) )
My kindergartener’s teacher advised me to keep those crayons so my daughter uses them to have a proper grasp for pencil writing. You have to use the tripod style with your hand when you use small crayons. Besides, crayons offer more resistance compared to markers or pencils, and they get to strengthen hand muscles.
Melted ’em into new ones!
Good idea! Thanks!
