Welcome to This Week’s Miscellany, the weekly feature at Carrots where I share photos, quotes, links, or whatever strikes my fancy!
It’s this little gal’s birthday tomorrow. How has it been two years since she was born?
As my brother pointed out, she was born not just with hair…but with a hair do. I think it was Great Gatesby era inspired.
She is still the absolute silliest little person in our house. And we love every minute of it. It makes perfect sense that she waited to be born on St. Joan of Arc’s Day. Because this girl is a firecracker. She would have no problem leading armies.
And she’s so beloved by her big brother and sister. Benjamin and Lucy both illustrated books as birthday gifts for her. Benjamin decided he would write his on her favorite subject:
We’re looking forward to celebrating her crazy little self.

About 150 pages into Possession. Christy assigned it to me for our next Fountains of Carrots book swap episode.
Podcast
We had so much fun talking to the wonderful Janet Easter, co-founder of Verily Magazine, this week. She had so much inspiring wisdom to share about true beauty, fashion, and creating a women’s magazine full of positivity and real women (NO photoshopping models).

Happy birthday to sweet Gwen! My best friend had her first baby today, and I just gasped for hours at the photos on watsapp! What an amazingly miraculous flabbergasting thing it is to deliver a perfect human being to this world… made me think I should go for the 3rd! (ahahah!)
Have a great day with your loved ones, and, note on the side, I love this photo of you with Gwen. YOU look fabulous!
Much love from Amsterdam!
