Things to Write Home About – 4/26/09

April 26, 2009

The gems I found this week:

Homegrown: Advice on Parenting & Families

Alli, also known as Mrs. Fussypants, proposed that we all attempt a complaint free week. It’s harder than it sounds, and I thought it sounded almost impossible. I’m still working on my week.
Wendy Strgar was a guest author at Blissfully Domestic last week, discussing how the 5% rule can change your marriage
Sue from 5 Minutes for Mom has a small daughter who believes that God is a superhero
Frugal Dad has had enough
Liz Jenkins posted great gifts for kids that don’t involve more stuff at Small Notebook
Tsh, the original Simple Mom, posted cheap toys for young children, and you won’t find most of them in the toy aisle
Amy at Living Locurto posted day of the week tags to help young children take responsibility for dressing themselves. (I found this link at MomAdvice. Thanks, Amy!)

Home Cooking: Recipes & Kitchen Tips

Robyn at Robyn’s Online World posted a recipe for artichoke pasta salad
Gaby at What’s Gaby Cooking shared her dad’s infamous grilled cheese sandwich recipe
Rachel from A Southern Fairytale also posted a awesome recipe for grilled cheese
Elissa at 17 and Baking posted peanut butter and chocolate chunk muffins
Dana, The Homesteading Housewife, posted a recipe for homemade hamburger and hot dog buns using a breadmaker at her food blog, Craving Comfort
Jen at Balancing Beauty and Bedlam posted an illustrated tutorial for apple coffee cake
Sarah at Sarah’s Cucina Bella posted a recipe for carmelized bananas. Sarah served them on French toast, but I can think of about fifteen other things I’d like them served on or with.
Tina from Mommy’s Kitchen posted a recipe for orange coffee cake
Jenna at Newlyweds! posted a recipe for Texas lasagna

Homemaking: Keeping Your House Running

Lea Ann from Mommy’s Wish List told us about a free Home Depot gardening class – and it’s just for women!
Tip Junkie posted a list of home organization projects from around the blogosphere at Blissfully Domestic
Melissa from The Inspired Room posted a tutorial for making your own home organization notebook at Blissfully Domestic
Sara at whimsies & whatnots painted her kitchen counters. I hate my counters, so there may be a project in my future.

Homespun: Crafts & Other Projects

Allie at No Time for Flashcards posted ways to recycle your plastic Easter eggs. Are yours still hanging around? Re-purpose them!
Allie from No Time for Flashcards also posted a round up of her favorite projects using recycled materials
Jodie at Crafty Lil Momma posted a tutorial for making paper silhouettes of your children to hang on the wall
Sarah at Thrifty Decor Chick made a sofa table for under $20
The Farm Chicks created a cute babydoll-style top

Do you have a great craft idea that involves a 1/4 yard of fabric or a fat quarter? I’m always looking for some! Send them my way, please!
