Have you been listening to WXPN? If so, you may have already heard this one. I liked it so much I shazam'ed it at a stop light.

30% off sale stuff at J.Crew!
Yeah, it's true. Jane and I have been combing the sale section all night. Getting a dress for $35.
I also realized they sent me a 30% off everything one-time coupon as a cardholder, so if there's something you're eying that's not on sale, talk to me.

World's Best Leggings
Great leggings are hard to come by. We all know more often then not your basic leggings can be very flawed. Some are paper thin so you end up showing your undies to the world if you wear them outside of the confines of your own bedroom. Others are thick enough to keep the booty covered but have super tight elastic bands that can make you look like a muffin fresh out of the oven. Finally, there's the leggings that have enough space in the ankle to fit another ankle if you need it.
I have a pair of leggings that are as close to perfect as I've ever had from Forever21, two winters ago. I often think why didn't I buy these in bulk when I had the chance? That was, until I discovered the World's Best Leggings.
To the naked eye, these just look like a plain pair of black leggings. The beauty of these are that they are thick, have the perfect elastic waistband, and hold the ankle without being too tight or loose. They're called "Moto Ponte" leggings, which I'm pretty sure translates into "Mega Perfect" (that's a rough translation though). Forever21 has a huge variety of leggings right now but buyers beware, don't try to look for leggings at the store unless you wear a small or extra small. Happy shopping!

How Do You Know Trailer
My life is a little mixed up right now, so I could stand to run into the Paul Rudd of my life. This movie is set in DC after all...

Girls in White Dresses with Blue Satin Sashes...
Many thanks to Jane for creating this blog!
I am going to start this blog with a story: The other day, Helen and I went to a friend's swap party, where people bring stuff they don't use any more so that they can share it with their friends (similar to our clothing swaps but with much less shouting and fewer threats of murder). It was excellent, and I was picking up awesome stuff left and right -- stockpots! a new cookbook! a bouncy exercise ball! a cheese planer!
Helen saw my pile and started laughing because despite dividing them up and mixing them with all the other stuff brought to the party by other people, I had managed to pick up all the things that she had brought to the swap (including plucking Helen's old cheese cutter out of a pile of cheese cutters). We could have just skipped the trip and just had Helen drop her stuff at my house. I knew unconsciously that me and these items belonged together -- like Sara and Rufus or Rufus, Daddy and Daddy's crazy voices!
It just underscored that which we already know about our family -- we love all the same things! We love ikea! We love babies! We love preppy, modern clothes!
And we love knowing about what other people are loving!
This blog is designed to enable our family to share with each other the things that you are loving these days, because it is probably a safe bet that the rest of family will love them too.
Did you just get a cute skirt for a dollar? Did you dress Rufus up in a crazy costume? Did you hear a song that made you want to never stop dancing? Did you just make a chocolate cobbler that is to die for? You can share it all here.
So here I will share one of my current favorite things:
