Happy Friday, friends! It's been a long week, and I'm excited to snuggle up tonight with Tuesday's Sons of Anarchy and a glass of wine or two. Tomorrow we had planned to take Penelope to the zoo, but there's rain in the forecast, so it may be a carpet picnic + movie at home kind of day. Sunday we are having some fall photos taken of Penelope and then celebrating my cousin's birthday. Oh and hopefully some football watching thrown in for good measure. I hope you enjoy today's five things and have a fantastic weekend!

This article about being a working mom really resonated with me 

I love this article about the real meaning of being Brave. As a 'no'er' and general anxiety-ridden person about everything, it's refreshing to see that maybe it's just ok to say no.

Surprising uses for apple cider vinegar. I'm going to try this on my teeth!
