Weekend Reading:
- I love learning about the mansions of the Gilded Age.
- This is a great piece on working parents by one of my favourite authors (her book on pregnancy got me through mine with my sanity intact).
- I’m almost positive this could be a plot element in the third Anaconda movie.
- Well, this is embarrassing, and a good reminder of the utility of doing proper historical research and not assuming that the meaning of words are forever fixed and unchanging, as opposed to being living, mutable things wrapped up in historical context.
- This for sure would have given me nightmares when I was pregnant. And it’s still pretty damn horrific. I just hope the baby will be okay.

Hehe yayyy!!! Gotta love making something you've wanted for years your own. Now I'm going to have to look for that book so I can see all the prettiness inside!

It's a stunning book to have on your coffee table and it's great you got it after admiring it so long! :)
The story with that baby at the end there is just so horrific - I know I was incredibly naive and very lucky in my pregnancy when I'd go to houses to pick up baby clothes - luckily on one occasion when I realised I was perhaps in a bad situation the guy (instead of the woman I was expecting) did a double take when he realised that his "scary" dog was not intimidating to me and that I also had my husband with me. I picked up the clothes and declined his offer to go further into the house to look for more his wife said she had - yeesh! Could have been innocent but also made me rethink what I was doing!

Those tiaras and crowns are beautiful and show the wonderful history behind them. I liked the article on parenting, and now on my bookmarks! Have a great weekend, gorgeous!

I love that you have such a history with this book - and that you loved it enough to repeatedly check it out of the library when that was the only way it was accessible to you. Just proof that sometimes, the things that are the most meaningful are worth waiting for, however long it takes. I'm not much of a tiara girl, but this book does look beautiful.

I think i would also like this book.
Oh these are the types of accomplishments I enjoy! Those that we never stop thinking of and then when they happen they are well appreciated.
Those damn snakes. Who do they think they are just making babies without having sex?
That last story was just awful. I can't imagine the kind of people capable of doing such a thing.
