Around the interwebs

Now that I’m using Pinterest, I haven’t been starring posts as much in my Google Reader but pinning them instead. So rather than sharing a bunch of those images with you [if you click the hyperlink up above there, you’ll see my pin boards – crafts and recipes abound], I’ll share the writing and posts that have struck me and perhaps they will strike a chord with you as well.

The funny

• Open letter to our downstairs neighbors, in anticipation of the Super Bowl by Alice at Finslippy [sorry, there’s some language, but it is still hilarious]
• I did these things as a kid but my kids won’t by Amber at Crappy Pictures [always hilarious, but this reminds me of how my dad is always saying, “you survived, didn’t you” when I point out something I’d rather be didn’t do for my kids]
• Official Post-Valentine’s Day Recap ExtravaganzSQUIRREL by Amy at Amalah [the dramatic squirrel pic at the end is worth clicking through for]
• Those are fighting words, internet by Jenny at The Bloggess [just because she is always funny and honest]

The moving

• The Luckiest by Tricia of Teaching Ty and Tuck [I could pretty much include everything she writes, but I particularly love the song she’s talking about]
• Breastfeeding isn’t free by Sarah at drunkenbee [I think I might have linked to this before, but’s worth a second read]
• (title unknown) by Alicia at Posey Gets Cozy [simple heartbreakingly honest]
• A beautiful c-section by Kristin at Today’s Parent
