Occasionally, I get a little bit behind on some of the blogs I’m “supposed” to read daily. Because of that hold up, the OCD I diagnosed myself with won’t allow me to read any current posts until I’ve gone back to read the previous ones. One of the blogs I sluffed on over the past week was Thought Catalog so while I sipped my Campbell’s Homestyle Chicken Noodle soup today, I decided to go back all the way to Monday, February 13th.
Here are some posts that I think you all will like:
Ellen sent these cutie pies off to the Grammy’s last week as correspondents and they did a fantastic job. I want their job.
Earlier this morning, Capitol Hill Seattle reported that Flora and Henri would be closing their doors on January 31, 2012. Flora and Henri is a children’s boutique located on 11th and Pine. While I never had a reason to shop there, that has never actually stopped me from stepping inside for a visit to swoon at all of the adorable little pieces.
I’m actually really sad to hear them go especially because they’ve had such a presence on how I’ve viewed the Capitol Hill neighborhood since I’ve lived here. They’ve always been next to Molly Moon’s and it’s the shop that I get to walk by on my way to the park. Additionally, I’ve gotten to introduce the boutique to Gelesia and my friends and I were once accused of eating the ice cream of other kids outside of the boutique.
That never happened, I swear. It was a very bizarre story.
Flora and Henri will continue to operate out of their studio downtown and assist customers through appointments.
You’ll be missed!

It has taken me years to try and remember the name of what used to be my favorite show as a kid.
The clues that I could recall:
Unluckily for me, Wikipedia was shut down today for protesting SOPA/PIPA so instead of going straight there for the answer to my question, I had to do a lot extra digging.
Now having found this video, I realize there are so many things that I didn’t notice as a kid.
First off, Xuxa is the host’s name and she was Brazilian! In addition to hosting the show, Xuxa was a singer and sang the theme song. Also her co-host happens to be someone in a panda costume named Jelly the Panda. Um wut?
It has been 18 years since I last watched this television show and it’s amusing to me now that I used to believe that these were the most entertaining 30 minutes of my day. Did any of you guys watch this show? I hope it wasn’t just me!
One parent tries to get their baby to favor one over the other. Tough decisions!
Can we just take a moment to appreciate this photo of Amy Poehler and Will Arnett’s son Abel. ADORABLE. Where did his ginger gene come from? Doesn’t matter. He’s too stinkin’ cute.

Source? Everywhere. Also, I’d like to know why every time I read an article about the birth, there is a discrepancy between whether her name is “Ivy Blue” or “Blue Ivy.”
Although, I wouldn’t be surprised if her name swung both ways and was reversible somehow because I kind of believe that any child of theirs can basically do anything they want.
I may look like your everyday college student, but if you put a coloring book in front of me, I will go to town on it with my assortment of colored pencils, markers, and paint. This vimeo introducing Porta Pizzeria’s first coloring book, “What’s Behind The White Door?” is a little cute and a whole LOT hipster. Think I’m kidding? Watch the video and see.
Birthday wish list? Noted.

I’m not exactly sure where someone had the idea to combine Pokemon with fashion editorials, but the person who created the Tumblr is kind of a creative genius. It makes sense when you think of it logically.
Fashion editorials can sometimes be a little silly.
Pokemon characters are a reminder of my silly childhood collection.
Together, the two add up to one quirky image that you might even wish existed in real life.
Check out the Tumblr here.
If this isn’t the most adorable way to end Christmas, then I don’t know what is.
This won’t be my life, but if I ever had the chance to become a celebrity…being on Sesame Street would be at the top of the list!
I promise I haven’t traded in my regular television shows for children’s show, but this stop motion video is too cute. The children’s television show, Yo Gabba Gabba, asked animator Kirsten Lepore to design a video explaining what it means to give a present and this warmed my heart.

While we’re on the nostalgia train, can we please take a second to appreciate this remake of the opening of RECESS made by the students at Sheridan College?!
Well done.
Here’s the original for comparison. I can’t believe the Ashley’s weren’t even included; they were my favorite.
One of my favorite bands of 2011, Cults, made an appearance on the Nick Jr. television show Yo Gabba Gabba! recently singing an entire song about hot cocoa. Some may find it to be cheesy because of their overenthusiastic lip synching and playing instruments with cocoa in hand, but I just find it downright stinkin’ cute!
Oh yes, the Christmas themed posts will not stop until after the holiday has passed.
