It's naptime on a Saturday- the perfect time for Mommy to catch up on her blog reading. Here are some of the best things that happened on the internet this week:
Shayla shared a beautiful reflection on gardening and life over on Northern Exposure. This was pretty timely for me, as lately I've been struggling with the need to better provide for my family, and stressing out because it's just not happening fast enough. Perhaps I should take a deep breath and just grow where I'm planted.
Hallowe'en is right around the corner, which means it's time to blow the dust off my sewing machine and whip up some costumes. So of course, I'm getting distracted by all sorts of awesomely simple crafting tutorials on the internet...
My little one loves wearing skirts, but she needs to wear shorts underneath. Enter: this tutorial on Make It and Love It for a simple skirt with shorts attached. Freaking. Genius.
Also on Make It and Love It: this elastic bookmark with a big adorable bow! I know several ladies who would probably appreciate this as a Christmas present...better get to sewing!
Bean in Love (who, by the way, was on the cover of Mobile Bay magazine, what??) shared this genius solution for a temporary change-up to a lamp shade. (Spoiler alert: it involves elastic.)
And finally, the single best thing that happened on the internet this week (well, for me, anyway):
Catholic All Year shared an absolutely incredible post on How to Raise Good Little Catholics. If anybody reading this blog is looking for gift ideas for my daughter's birthday and/or Christmas, literally any of the things Kendra links to in this post would be welcome. Any of them. (All of them!)
So what happened on your internet this week?
Much love,
The Geeks
