"defining" me

Today was a good day.

We got outside for recess.

I found the most delightful tea cups at Homegoods.

mmb got out of class early.

30 ROCK was hilarious (even if the horrible imitation of a Boston accent made me cringe...).

And, I had the good fortune to discover Natalie's super-inspiring blog. Seriously, this girl is great. Not only does she have some great posts, but her jewelry line on etsy is gorgeous! I am considering committing to a long term relationship with her stunning hair pins!!

Her post today got me thinking about how different things in our lives define us at different times. It is funny how some things are constant, yet some things vary greatly. Here's my take:
