“What a week! My brother and sister-in-law were in Tokyo, so we’ve been running around to see the sights, eating too much food and drinking a little too much. We saw this very organized fishing spot on one of the rivers in central Tokyo, on our way to the Yasukuni Shrine (which has a Japanese war memorial museum with . . . different . . . perspectives on WWII than we’re used to seeing, obviously).
And as you read this, the hubby and I will be arriving in Paris for the first leg of our Paris/Rome trip. My liver could probably use a bit of a break after the last week, but I’m not sure that France and Italy are the place to detox! We’re staying in airbnb apartments in both cities, which is always a bit of an adventure. Have you ever used airbnb? How was your experience?”
* We love, love, love Rifle Paper Co., and Design Sponge’s A Day in the Life of Anna Bond only made us have more of a girl crush on Anna Bond.
* This Dot&Bo canvas globe pouf. Goodness, I love poufs and this is a really great neutral option that still has texture and visual interest.
* Goat Cheese Potato Cakes? Yes, please! You can assemble them in advance, then pan fry and warm them in the oven before serving.

“When I graduated from business school I bought this pretty ring. It was more than I probably should have spent at the time and definitely fancier than how I dressed at the time, but the idea of marking the occasion with a lasting token really appealed to me. Even though it’s still too sparkly and dressy for everyday wear, it still makes me smile every time I see it. Do you mark significant occasions with something special too? (I need some new ideas!)”
* I haven’t seen the movie yet (even though I bought it weeks ago at Target), but as an Idina Menzel fan I’ve been enjoying the heck out of the song Let It Go from Frozen. I’ve seen some pretty cute lip sync versions, but this one of two Naval Academy baseballs players (HELLO…) is my favorite so far.
* THIS T-SHIRT. I definitely don’t hate everyone, but I’m all over that second part.
* I may have mentioned before that my family’s Easter meal tradition is a little different than everyone else’s. Instead of the usual, we always have enchiladas! This year’s batch was delicious and got me thinking about homemade tortillas. Here’s a recipe that seems really similar to my mom’s, but made with olive oil!
