Things to Write Home About – 1/24/10

January 24, 2010

Here are some gems I discovered found in my feed reader today:

Lisa at Blessed with Grace talks about getting rid of her daughter’s pacifier
Kristen at We are That Family discussed her family’s mission statement (I’ve been meaning to do this with Joe for so long.)

Home Cooking: Recipes & Kitchen Tips

Trent at The Simple Dollar posted a link to one of his old posts, Preparing Your Own Skillet Meals in Advance
Dana, The Homesteading Housewife, posted Tater Tot Casserole
Annie’s Eats posted a healthy eggplant parmesan recipe (I found it thanks to Amy’s Notebook at Mom Advice)
Mary Beth at Salt and Chocolate shared her solution for consistently diluting juice for children (also recommended by Mom Advice)
Nicole at Baking Bites posted Cherry Lime Bread

Homemaking: Keeping Your House Running

Dustin at Simple Marriage posted 6 tips for a Simple and Successful Financial Life
Tsh at Simple Mom re-posted My Daily Docket is my Daily Lifesaver
Kimba at A Soft Place to Land posted about decorating WITH children, and her photos warmed my heart.
Melissa at The Inspired Room talked about her favorite movie set houses

Homemade: Crafts & Other Projects

Heather at Dollar Store Crafts posted instructions for making a very simple velcro catch ball game for about $3
Sachiko from Tea Rose Home posted a tutorial for making an adorable ruffled blouse from two t-shirts
Carla at The Southern Stamper posted a gorgeous alternative to photos in photo coasters
Steph at Somewhat Simple posted felt fortune cookies for Valentine’s Day
I love the round-up of handmade Valentine gifts and Valentine’s Day crafts at Tip Junkie

Thanks for the linky love! I have to say, it is SO good to not worry about where that stupid pacifier is and if I remembered to bring it to every event. I felt like such a failure mommy. Now, feeling much better!! Thanks again for including me.
