why?...because i like you. and i'm exhausted.

hope you all are having a fabulous weekend!

yesterday we took the girls for their first-ever, 

remember-it-always trip to disneyland. 

it was epic.

(the only thing that could have made it better would have been these sweet, matching, vintage wool suits. am i right?) 

i am toast.

still coming down from the sugary, sparkly, sensory overload that is disneyland.

need to detox; i think a long, hot bath + good red wine 

+ a silent, black and white film (with people, not animation) 

is the perfect antidote. 

see ya tomorrow. 

sparkle kisses and glitter hugs!

keepin it RILL.

i was really torn about posting this because, well, this girl acts like a total moron, and i truly believe her existence alone takes the womens' movement back at least 100 years. 

but then i remembered that i am an educator, and that it is my duty to show you this horror in the hopes that we can begin taking the necessary steps to eradicate this kind of behavior in our great nation's youth. 

or, at the very least, help save just one girl considering her future as the next 

courtney stoddenkardashianmontag.  

there are almost no words. almost. 
it actually breaks my heart as much as disgusts me.


anderson cooper says it better than i could, 
and without vomiting in the process. 
or laughing hysterically and throwing things at their faces. 

wow. right? 

scary as hell. 

funny only if it weren't so...rill. 

he nails it. 

my mama sent me a really interesting article written by lisa bloom in regards to the very subject of the future of our girls, based on how we talk to them, and the culture we've created, obsessed with appearance and youth. 
its a quick, to the point read, but well worth your time. 
go here and check it out for yourself. 


i'd love to hear some of your thoughts on all this...
