Miscellaneous Monday

08.16.2010 by juliegumm@yahoo.com //

I know Monday is almost over but I’ve been gathering little tidbits here and there and thought I would share some recent great blog posts I’ve read.

  • I bookmarked this great post from Jamie on Guarding Our Kids from Evil – take time to read all the comments too. Great ideas in there.
  • Some great photography tips on My Crazy Adoption.
  • Adorable valance made from cloth napkins from Owlhaven.
  • Reluctant Husband Syndrome- Part 1 over at Building the Blocks
    A lot of women find themselves on the adoption bandwagon LONG before their husbands. Amy’s post has some great insight – stuff I never thought about but I bet really rings true for a lot of people.
  • the least complicated – LOVE this idea Jennifer talks about of having kids use a limited number of tickets to ask their questions. Sometimes I think my head will explode from all the questions.
  • Two great posts on Bushel & A Peck for calming kids – the “smell the flower/blow the candle”  and “blowing up the balloon” techniques
