Weekly Round-Up #2

Wow, this past week has just flown by. We went to see a parade, and I switched up the look of Writer Mom at Home. Of course, this put me a bit behind with work, so I’ll be working all day today.

I can’t wait for the weekend. We are going to a local fair on Saturday, then I get to spend the next two days working. Do you have any special plans?

There was a lot of great new stuff on the web this week. My search for blog posts to feature has introduced me to a lot of great bloggers. Here’s the new Weekly Round-up:

Mommy Blogging

Fitting Blogging into Your Life Without Losing Your Mind, Relationships, and Waistline- Meant for new bloggers, but useful for everyone, I think. How to find a balance. This is part of the Essential Advice for New Bloggers series by Absolutely Bananas.

Creative Writing Prompts for Parenting Blogs- From About.com. A whole bunch of ideas for the days when there is just nothing good to write about.

Life as A Mom

More Passive-Aggressive Letters… With Love- Modern Mom, over at How to Survive Life in the Suburbs, has a bone to pick. Can you relate? I sure can (especially with the over-stuffing of the reusable grocery bags. Just because they are bigger, it doesn’t mean they can, or should, hold more.)

There’s Probably a Hallmark Card for This- Do you work on your relationship with your husband, or is your marriage on autopilot? A reminder from Novelle360 to not take the special man in your life for granted.

Say What?- Kids say the darnedest things. Check out this post about the conversational quirks posted by Sissy of My Kids Might be Martians.

The Joys of Co-Sleeping- Becca is a co-sleeping baby.. err. Toddler.  I really enjoyed this post on how wonderful co-sleeping is, for both moms and babies.

HeadShot- Discovering water guns for the first time. I wonder what this little trigger does?

How to Keep Your House Clean Enough to Avoid Humiliation when Company Comes Over- I suck at house work. I hate to clean. Seems like I’m not the only one. Thrifty Southern Mama has tips just for us slacker housewives.

Yummy Things to Eat

Double Chocolate Mocha Trifle- Brownie pieces, White chocolate pudding, and toffee bits. Anyone else drooling yet?

Articles I Loved

Clever Solutions for Bad Habits- Can speaking with a fake French accent make your child more polite? An article from parenting magazine. Great solutions for all sorts of toddler behaviors. Becca is to young for some of these, but as soon as she’s older, I plan on pulling this article back out and putting it to good use.

Random, but Hilarious

Longmire Does Romance Novels- My first introduction to the World of Longmire. Check out these twisted romance book covers. (I actually have a couple of these books.)
