much love monday.

i like to use monday as a way to reflect on the previous week, to start anew, and to send a little love into the world.  won't you join me?    

today i am grateful for:

a very best friend got MARRIED!  ah!  also noteworthy: all the high school bffs together to celebrate with her.  plus family time.  plus a long weekend.   

pictures worth a thousand words:

 {first trip of the season!}

this week's blog love: 

• i am such a sucker for good packaging.  that's why i love the care and thought that goes into fieldguided's.  she also posted some gorgeous early morning fog pictures this week.
• breakfast at toast has me pretty excited for fall with the september issue.
• admit it, we've all had this problem: blogger jealousy.  makeunder my life tackles it head-on in envy vs. inspiration.
• little girl, big world brings us this impossibly adorable "real" wedding for barbie + ken.  more pics from the big day can be found on glamour.
• sarah jane studios brought news of an upstate NY library that lost almost its entire children's book collection to hurricane irene flooding.  find out how you can help here. 

here's to another grateful and love-filled week.
