- Look! Miniature Garden- OhDeeDoh: I’ve loved the comeback of all the little terrariums. My Grandma had a terrarium on her kitchen table when I was little, I loved looking through the glass at the little green world inside. I really like the one on this link because it’s a little more interactive and I wouldn’t have to worry about the humidity levels in a terrarium. I have always wanted some succulents too – so it would satisfy that desire too. One might be a feature on my porch this summer…
- Snapshots – Soulemama: I do love Soulemama, but there are times that I will read her and other great blogs – mostly of people I don’t really know- and totally get down on myself for not sewing a dress for my daughter during naptime or letting JJ play some more Lego StarWars instead of engaging him in some amazingly creative project. This post was just the reminder I needed that blogs (mine included) are only “snapshots” of the lives we live.
- Now I know my ABCs – Totally Tots: I am in love with this site right now. I have been loving the Bible Bites and now with this Alphabet theme - I can’t wait to get more into it. We’ve set up our Chicka Chicka Boom Boom magnet tree and have had a lot of fun. I really like that it’s stuff that doesn’t take a lot of planning and it’s totally engaged the kids – especially Henry.
- Starfall – This site has helped Henry’s mouse skills tremendously. I think because the surface area of what you click on is bigger. He loves the games and it all ties in with the Alphabet theme mentioned above.
- Can FaceBook Be Your Friend?- Real Simple: I’m still not interested in joining Facebook. John asks me about once a week, “When are you going to join Facebook?” – I tell him “I’m not” and he says, “But I just want to be married to you”. I guess that’s sweet, but I’m still not. There are many reasons why I’m being “stubborn” by not joining and this article stated a lot of them. The writer has come to a find a balance with Facebook, but I think I lack her willpower and desire…I’m okay with that. I will, however, check into the legality of our marriage if I am not on Facebook. hehe

I like the mini terrarium thing too! I want one. I like that there were some herbs listed. It would be a fun way to get kids growing plants and herbs they could help cook with…
