Friday Friends: the 7 week overdue version

Yeah. Blogging with a newborn just doesn't really work. Not for me yet anyway. The whole one-handed or typing on my phone thing just doesn't do it for me. So while sweet Sam slumbers in the moby wrap, I have two hands and silence.

Despite my absence in words that I write, I sure read yours! The google reader app on my phone is almost always out while I'm nursing in the middle of the night. Thank you for posting at all hours of the day, and keeping this new mom awake at 3:38am. =)

Here are my favorite posts from around the interwebs this week:
----------
the blog speaks - by the spectacular Heather of the Extraordinary Ordinary. This lady is the real deal, friends. So gifted with words. I'm bookmarking this post to pass along to those who question the worth of blogging.

Sarah speaks {In which Joe pics tools over sports} about our children knowing the us that we are now, not the us that we used to be. It made me think about who I want Sam to know me as, and what I have to keep plugging away at in order to get there.

Amy is doing a 17 day series on homemade cleaners, and she has got me convicted that I want to throw out all my bottles {I'm a Mrs. Meyers fanatic, and have to use them up before converting to all homemade because I'm cheap =) } This post is for homemade bathroom and toilet cleaners, and she swears it cleans boy bathrooms. Love it!

The newest blog I subscribe to is Kelle's. I love her words and pictures and sparkle. She makes me want to sparkle too.
