One of the things I love about reading posts from moms all over the country is how universal our joys and obstacles can be. We all want balance. We all want to offer the best we can to our family - whether it’s an engaging book at bedtime or a delicious summer dish. We all want to feel inspired and fulfilled by our chosen work. We all want a break from the whining. (Oh, don’t pretend I’m the only one.)

Once again this week, our Local Perspectives bloggers have offered great posts to ponder and enjoy.

Happy Father’s Day weekend! (I see grilled food in your future...)

Here's a few posts that caught Erin's eye this week. Note: Do not mess with The Bloggess.

Birthday Blooms

I’ve just returned from Costco with the most glorious dose of happy flowers. I’ve been known to splurge on a $9 bouquet every once in awhile, but since it’s my birthday this weekend, I thought I’d go crazy and blow twenty bucks. The results are delightful.
