I read this article the 1943 Guide to Hiring Women which was published in the Transportation Magazine in 1943. Some of the recommendations seem completely absurd in comparison to today’s workplace attitudes. It’s amazing how ideas have changed over the years. I just had to share this article.

I would love to have this Measuring Souvenir from Paris.  Wouldn’t it be a fun growth chart for kids?

I made this floating island punch for a baby shower that I hosted last weekend.  I found the recipe on the allrecipes website.  It’s quite a sweet punch even though I omitted the simple syrup and added an extra liter of ginger ale.  I received several comments on the punch and would definitely make it again!
