Five Things Friday

This week, kids everywhere finally went back to school and I have really loved seeing all of the first day of school photos circulating my social media feed. The school buses and crossing guards made their first appearance on the streets of Jersey City much to Penelope's excitement and now I can't help but long for the crisp fall air to round it all out. As I've said all week long, it's been borderline brutal on the heat front. I'm excited to close out summer 2014 with our trip to Lewes this weekend (by the time you read this, I'll be waking up there!) and move into the final third of the year.
Though I like to keep this segment light and fun, I can't not take a moment for Joan Rivers. Shaun and I both adore Fashion Police, mostly for Joan's envelope-pushing humor and streak of unmatched meanness that only she can pull off. I am truly saddened by her passing; it feels as though I've lost a friend, someone who I really looked forward to seeing each week. She was a trailblazer for female comedians, and for all female professionals. Joan Ranger for life.
