1) Work took me home to Illinois this week and I was finally able to meet my niece, Emme. Mommabear took me to my sister's house Thursday evening and we had a full night playing with my nieces (lots of pictures on Instagram). Thank you to Mommabear, my sister and brother-in-law and Mr. Cush's sister (I didn't want to say 'in-law' again ... could've been confusing, but she's the best sister-in-law on the planet!!!) for a great night spent with family. I'm a very lucky girl!

2) Have you seen Buzzfeed's version of the Obama administration's view of the crisis in Syria as told by The Hills (yes, the MTV show)? It's awesome. Check it out right now.

3) I'm wearing my Illinois necklace in Illinois. Life doesn't get much sweeter than this!

4) While perusing my arsenal of hair products I came across this old favorite - Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum. I used this for years and can't really remember why I put it aside, but it's back in the regular morning routine. This really helps my hair resist humidity and keeps my blowout sleek - not to mention, it smells like green apples. I need to slap myself for forgetting about this gem.

5) Mommabear pointed out this shelf in my sister's pantry ... GENIUS!!! Mr. Cush doesn't know it yet, but I have two closets in mind where I want him to install similar shelves at Casa de Cushman. New-found storage tactics make me giddy.

Tell me about five highlights from your week in the comments below!
