Happy Monday, y’all!  I’m feeling energized and ready for another week of recovery, spring cleaning, and- hopefully- sunshine!  Some distractions for your Monday…

Reeeallllly hoping the dates for my trip to France (!!!!) overlap with the end of the Paris Opera Ballet season. (Peck, Balanchine, Forsythe, all such welcome company) (also can we talk about how beautiful POB’s web design is?)

…of course if it doesn’t line up, it will make catching NYCB with my mom and grandma in Saratoga much more doable! (win/win)

So cool to see my friend Kelly of Studio KCK featured on Design Sponge last week. (#fangirling)

Just tried Providence’s Oberlin, little sister restaurant to the foodie favorite Birch, for the first time and am already planning my return. (grilled sunchokes + rosé)

So excited about these beauties! (stay tuned for more…)

Loved seeing a few more friends in Trinity Rep’s Oklahoma! last Thursday night- I danced in my seat the whole show! (and remembering the words to every.single.song. was a fun surprise) (ps- hi Shura!)

…also loved sitting up high in the Opera House for one of Shelby’s last jaunts around the lake. (swan song)

Need to make these now. (Deb Pearlman can do no wrong)

I gave some perspective over on Lucas’ blog last week. (thoughts on purpose + connecting)
