• Emoji stamps? These girls get me.
• I have a bit of a cauliflower problem lately. Between cheesy cauliflower breadsticks and sweet potato cauliflower soup, I’m eating at least a head of the stuff a week. And now this garlic mashed cauliflower recipe with all of the flavor and a fraction of the carbs? I’ll be the crazy lady at the grocery store with the cart full of cauliflower.
• I need to try Nutella hot chocolate.
• This office makeover post had me doing all sorts of swooning. Now I want paint and glitter and whimsy all up in my work space. Only my work space is in the bedroom. I wonder how Bad Dad will feel about that…

Around the interwebs:

• I keep hearing good things about the Serial podcast but haven’t listened to it yet. Have you?
• Oh man. This essay got me right in the heart.
• Winter is prime Netflix binge time. I’m definitely going to check out a few of the documentaries on this list.
• What do you think about our “mommy” problem?
• For any of you ladies struggling with fertility issues, Natalie makes me feel all of the feelings. Her post on chemical pregnancies is so raw and real.

In case you missed it:

• I shared some of my Instagram obsessions.
• I made some pretty cute fall flower crowns.
• I launched my new Girl Boss series with my pal Jackie Foley of JacPfef and The PfotoShop.

Now, I leave you with this (caution: plenty of f bombs will be dropped):

This week my favorite photos are a few of the top entries in our LittleHoots contest. There are some hilarious quotes submitted, so make sure you click over to the Facebook album and check them all out. The entry with the most likes on Sunday at 5 pm will win a canvas print of their hoot.

Around the interwebs:

• I love Emily Henderson. The way she styled this (dangerously) white room with pops of color—those logs!—is proof of why. Major swoonfest. I could never live in it (um, kids), but I will sit and drool at its magnificence.
• These sexy Halloween costumes for moms made me laugh so hard. If I had to pick, I’m thinking Dirty Delouser is my favorite.
• While we’re all on our pumpkin kick, I think it’s time to dip into some pumpkin hummus.
• Jackie has completely convinced me to get a wireless remote for picture taking. I love how much easier it will make group photos (or, you know, blog photos)!
• If you’ve never checked out Scary Mommy, you should. It’s hilarious. But I’m loving it a little more right now because it’s also incredibly generous. For the last three years Jill Smokler and company have been running The Thanksgiving Project, which donates Thanksgiving dinners to families who can’t afford it. They’re looking to do it again this year—but they need help!

In case you missed it:

• I wrote about how a TV show made my girls decide to open their own business.
• I talked about what a bitch perception is if you don’t use it to your advantage.
• I shared some pictures of the girls exploring the Peekskill Riverfront.
