Juicy GIRL Tattoo's

Last weekend, John took his girlfriend Ariel on a fall-foliage drive up Mount Sugarloaf in Massachusetts. Suddenly Ariel spotted a thousand pumpkins in a field below, spelling out "Ari, Please Marry Me." She started crying (naturally) and said yes! How sweet is that? (Read more of the cute story here.)

Have you read the fantastic blog 1001 Rules for My Unborn Son by Walker Lamond? He reveals everyday maxims about how to be a great man, such as:

* Smile at pretty girls.
* Thank the bus driver.
* There's no better remedy than a dip in the ocean.
* Always keep a good joke handy.
* Offer to carry a woman's bags, especially your mother's.
* Have a signature dish.
* Be cool to the younger kids; reputations are built over a lifetime.

Well, exciting news: Walker has now written a beautiful book, based on his blog, which comes out on October 27th. I was lucky enough to get a sneak peek, and it's heartbreakingly sweet and wise. (I'll admit, it made me tear up a little!) Congratulations, Walker! xo

Erin's three-year-old nephew is obsessed with the subway, so she made him a subway map poster for his birthday. She drew his favorite stops, including his friends' houses and, adorably, the Museum of Natural History. Lucky little dude! (See more photos here.)

P.S. He also had a subway-themed party.
