Today we went to #sundaybrunch at @popsforitalian Today we went to #sundaybrunch at @popsforitalian in #ferndale. The food was great and everybody behaved. Special thanks to the young guy who yelled to me something like, “dingdang hot mama Zowie pow, you a hot!” I looked at him dumbfounded since im almost  #25weekspregnant (yay for viability)and feeling very round and duck-like.” I guess some ppl like that sort of thing.🤷🏼‍♀️ The weather is so perfect so afterwards we drove around to do our #marketplace pickups and got some free formula and laundry baskets.  Anybody pay a service to do their laundry? I’m sick of laundry, we have too much.

Get ready for 5000 #peppapig pictures. or maybe run from them if that’s not your thing!We went to @greatlakescrossingoutlets to go to @peppapigworldofplaymichigan  because Lola is obsessed with “Peppy!” and Rune loves it too. We didn’t tell them what we were doing until we got there so it was fun to see their happy and surprised faces. I really liked the setup because it was more about imaginative and interactive play instead of just a playground. They did a good job at representing the show that our family has all grown to love since it’s talked about daily. Anyways, here is the first set off pics. #momlife #kidfun

    March 24, 2017 / 0 Comments

    If you happen to like METRONOMY, MIDNIGHT JUGGERNAUTS or CAMDOGZZ, by all means please read on! After a four-year hiatus, Thieves Like Us return with their fifth eponymously titled record.

The new self-titled record reinvents the band’s cosmic song based aesthetic with the introduction of live bass (Thomas Franklin) and drums (Tore Knipping), steering its songs into more spirited waters. Vocalist Andy Grier introduces the new video for Moon: “When Thieves Like Us began, we were often too busy recording, or touring to shoot our own videos. Calm moments were few and…
