Happy happy weekend friends! Unfortunately, we are reverting back to winter around here for a few days, but we still have some fun plans to check out our beautiful brand new library down the street (yes, it’s a dream come true!), attend a friend’s birthday party, and see some cousins from out of town. BUT FIRST, here’s a quick round-up of my favorite links and likes from the week. Enjoy!
Links:
“My Toddler Watches All the TV She Wants and I Think It’s Making Her Smarter” – Obviously, I can see the problems with her argument, but, I also agree with a lot of it; and, regardless, I think the perspective is refreshing…
“3 Simple Steps for Teaching Empathy in the Most Authentic Way” – I think about this a lot and found this advice practical and applicable for my parenting right away!
“Moms, Sometimes Doing the ‘Right’ Thing Is Wrong” – Amen!

Emily Lex wrote about this iPhone case/wallet yesterday, and I think she’s just about convinced me to try it myself. (This one seems pretty great too.)
I don’t think I ever shared these beauties that our sitter/my friend gave me as an early birthday present. I got a pedicure this week, so I’m excited to finally bare my toes again!(She gave these to Nora so we can match too. I died!)
I have this tunic already, but it is 50% off, and I love it so much that I’m thinking of getting another! (Also available in white and plaid here.)
Did you see that Emily Ley released a new product yesterday? These cute pineapple paper clips are $12 for a pack of 12 and would be so fun to use with your Simplified planner or any other papers!
I haven’t said much about it, but I’ve lost A TON of hair since Nora was born, and now my head is in a terribly awkward stage with baby hairs everywhere! It is strange because my hair got really long after Sam was born, but now it has hardly grown in length for over a year, and I kind-of hate it. Nicki Sebastian, on Cup of Jo, mentioned postpartum hair loss recently and recommended these supplements, but they scare me a little. I’ve also heard good things about Biotin. Anyone have any experience with either of them and hair growth?
I just grabbed these pajamas for both my kids (boys) as the final touches for their Easter baskets. I LOVE their message and that they match!!
Last one… I’ve mentioned Osmo on here before as one of our favorite educational toys/electronics for kids. It’s one of Amazon’s Deals of the Day today – 20% off making the starter kid only $65.00. I really can’t recommend it enough for 3 – 6(ish) year olds! *Note* You need an iPad to use this system.
Have a great weekend friends! I’ll see you next week for a post about why I went minivan (and I’m never going back), reviews of two books I’ve read lately, and reflections on Nora’s first year (#howisthispossible?)
