16 Cool Things You Need to Click On Today

Me, my daughter, and Bullseye (apparently that's the name of the Target dog. Who knew?).

This week, man. This freaking week. Let's just say, it was busy and strange and just...weird, but now it's over. Good riddance. 

There were many high points though! We took the kids to see the Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular (lesson learned: a 2.5 year old boy is NOT READY FOR IT), we took them to see Santa (no tears from either one!), and on Monday, S and I went on a mommy/daughter date to a preview of the new holiday popup in NYC, Target Wonderland. 

Going on through December 22nd and free to the public, Wonderland is a sort of Willy Wonka-esque toy-store-meets-playground. There are photo-op stations, a ginormous ball pit, and plenty of opportunities to buy toys along the way. It was fun to get a sneak peek. But the best part? The celeb sightings! We saw Neil Patrick Harris, Chrissy Teigen, Malin Ackerman, and Kristen Bell. 

Funniest moment of the night was when the Target people tried to orchestrate a photo of Kristen Bell flanked by a few little girls. My daughter was one of them. Cool, right? Not according to her. Target, and even KB herself, tried multiple times to get S to pose, but she was not having it. I tried to explain to her that it was Anna from Frozen, but that wasn't registering. S was busy getting a glitter tattoo and no A-list actress was going to mess with that. (You can see a funny picture of the incident here on my Instagram.) There was one celeb she was excited about meeting though: the Target dog. Yep.

Anyway, I hope your weekend is fun, relaxing, and wonderful. Here's a few fun links to check out when you have a moment. Enjoy!
