Ellery says the darndest things

I have a friend named Emily.  She is all sorts of lovely. Emily has a little sister named Ellery, and Ellery has a blog.  Or, rather, their mom keeps a blog on Ellery’s behalf. Please.  Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to What Ellery Says. My favorites? This one. And this one. Here‘s another….

You thought that I was your favorite Annie. Well, my little sweeties, prepare to forsake me for another. I have this friend Annie Downs.  You probably already read her blog – but if you don’t, you should start.  Because people, this girl has got it going on. Annie and I decided to swap videos, giving…

Good things come in twos

If you’re regularly on the World Wide Internet, which most of us are, then I’m sure that you’ve already seen these two videos.  But if you haven’t, you should: two of the most influential songs from my childhood, brought to life in a new way.  Both made me all teary eyed. Sometimes I wonder what…
