It’s Friday y’all! I hope you’ve had a good week and have a great weekend ahead of you. I’m not going to lie – I find this time of year pretty rough. Anybody have any great tips for just feeling a little bit more awake and alive in January? We are going to have a pretty chill weekend, I’m hoping to find a way to re-boot a little. Also to work on my new project – knitting!

The Netherlands killed it with this video.

And apparently – they also raise the happiest children.

And how about the joyful, illiterate kindergarteners of Finland!

How great is this sweatshirt? I don’t usually buy kids clothes with a lot of text/characters etc, but I’m tempted to get this for Nonie. Or just to put up on the wall in my office.

What happens when you send a letter to President Obama? I found this article very moving somehow.

The other day I met my sister for coffee and we both turned up in the same reversible coat. This thing is seriously the best thing I’ve bought this season. So so warm and cozy.

And last but definitely not least, do something good, right now, by signing this petition to pressure Bangladesh into removing the clause that would force raped girls to marry their rapists. It will take you less than a minute – and what a great way to start the weekend!

Happy Friday!
