  1. New parents, need a laugh?  I have a 15 month old, and while not all are relevant yet, we've started down this road: 33 Ridiculous Things You Had No Idea You Have To Teach Your Kids
  2. You can't believe everything (most things, quite honestly) that you see online.  This guy (Zack King) is amazingly creative in 15 second increments.
  3. Who knew that Mr. Spock had photography interests? The Full Body Project, buy the late Leonard Nimoy examines our current standards of beauty.

A few of my favorite blogs right now:

  • Cupcakes and Cashmere -  by Emily Schuman (and her team).  A new mom to a beautiful baby girl, Emily is one of those women who seems to have it all together, and makes you feel like you can too.  She has a good mix of content and inspires me.
  • A Lovely Living - by Marisa Zerby.  Marisa is a full time mother of 2, with one more on the way.  She is proof that you can be a busy mom and still look pulled together and stylish.  Her posts are relatable and practical.
  • The Honeybee - by Andee Lane.  Andee is another new mommy (gave her daughter a little brother.)  She has an adorable family, and is another one of those women who seems to have it all together and lives life with good style.
