round up

Here are few things I came across this week, between watching back-to-back episodes of Curious George and administering teaspoonfuls of honey.

I love the Local Perspectives section. Always full of posts from parents offering the right balance of helpful, funny, thoughtful and inspiring. Today is no different.

We’re hitting our summer stride now, folks. Our Local Perspectives bloggers are sharing tips for keeping your make-up fresh, your speakers humming and the kiddos happy.

Darn you, weekend. You always fly by too fast. Here’s a little Sunday reading to help you make the most of the upcoming week.

Plus — Garlic Chicken Farfalle, coupons and a 401K nudge. What a great list to lead us into the weekend.

More than any other season, summer brings with it the promise of unadulterated joy. The kind of fun that is marked by shrieks of laugher when someone squirts you with the hose unexpectedly.
