And what a beautiful Fall weekend it’s supposed to be here in the Midwest. What are your plans? We are cozying up tonight with popcorn and a movie with the kiddos. We’ve been on an ’80s kick around here, watching Gremlins, The Karate Kid and My Bodyguard. It’s been fun to rewatch these through the eyes of my boys. We’re off to a fall party tomorrow and I’m looking forward to hanging with friends around the fire pit. I’m hoping they have s’mores too. Enjoy the weekend, and here are some fun links from near and far.

Love this new Target collaboration.

A Traveler’s Guide to Customs: When to Shake Hands, Hug or Kiss.

The cool project behind this hand-painted rock my son found last week.

Terror at Tower Grove Park.

A fun and spicy twist on Hot Chocolate.

Add these, and these and these to my fall shoe shopping wish list.

Hands down the best asian wraps and dumplings in the Lou. (I crave these at least once a week.)
