5 bits and baubles from the week…

1. So, about my Thirty Before 30… there’s been some new progress on No. 25 where I planned to donate my time to a good cause. Well, I have been! Here’s proof. And, I was so honored to be asked this week to be on the leadership council for Dwell With Dignity. I’m incredibly excited to be a part of this amazing organization! I’ll be talking much more about how you can help… get ready!

2. My amazing design assistant started a blog this week! Would it be selfish to tell you that I’m really only glad so that I have another person to talk to about blogging? Probably. Well, I’d love to show you his blog, but it’s really not ready. Instead, I’ll leave you with a video of one of his tricks. He’s really good at jumping. *wink wink*

3. Max got his proofs back from his first school picture… My little 9 month old is just the freaking cutest.

4. It’s been a fun week chatting with some new twitter & blogger friends this week. One fun phone call with a fellow designer & blogger who I’m sure will be a fast friend, followed by a great lunch with another twitter friend & new blogger. I love meeting new people and love the opportunities social networking brings!

5. Speaking of new friends, the Blog Crawl has been a huge success so far!! I am LOVING everyone’s take on the challenge! Stay tuned later for a recap of the week’s posts…
