In Case You Missed It
This over the door hanging organizer with deep pockets is incredible. Sorry about the bad link last week. It's perfect for art/craft supplies, toys, shoes, diapers, you name it!
New Target clothing finds that are winning the day: these tailored shorts that are a super nice material for only $25, this sweater tank with fabric under the armpit that hides your bra perfectly, and this dress that's an anthropology dupe for $35.
This tank top is so good I bought two. It's not see through even with tiny holes (hello breathability). I have it in shale and aspen olive and sized down to an XS.
You gotta try this oatmeal raisin cookie smoothie. Recipe here.

If you take a deck of 52 cards and shuffle it the number of different combinations is greater that the estimated number of atoms on Earth. To put that in perspective, your body has around 7 billion billion billion atoms (that's a 7 with 27 zero's after it). Even over the 700 year history of playing cards, the number of shuffles performed is a tiny fraction of the total possibilities. h/t to Liberty.
While trees require sunlight to grow, the strongest and longest-living trees don’t get much sunlight during their early years. Limited sunlight leads to slow growth. Slow growth leads to the development of dense, long-lasting wood. A tree that grows quickly rots quickly and therefore never has a chance to grow old. In a tough season? Maybe present suffering will lead to resilience in the future. h/t SIX at 6
On the lighter side: Why do maple syrup bottles have those tiny little handles (they are called skeuomorphs)?
