My brother’s birthday is December 18th, just a week before Christmas. I was three-and-a-half years old when he was born, and I can still remember the excitement of his arrival combined with the anticipation of the holiday.

Just Because: Winslow Homer, The Country School
I was about to finish writing another post for today, but the news on the radio has distracted and saddened me.
So, instead of a lip balm review (maybe tomorrow), here’s a painting by one of my favorite artists, with a wish for more American children to be kept innocent and safe in their daily lives, and a prayer for those who were killed in Connecticut today.

Just Because: Theo Bread & Chocolate Bar
A chocolate bar with bits of bread tucked inside, like an inverted pain au chocolat.
And a label with a sweet illustration of cats (by KittenChops).
I just thought you’d want to know about this.

Just Because: Edvard Munch, The Storm
Hoping that all of us in the hurricane’s path will remain safe and sound.
