Reading the post, I couldn’t help but think about how his [...]

Humble April would never tell you, and she may not even know yet, but she is the third ever blogger to win the Nacho Blogger Award.  Make sure to leave your congratulations (in Nacho Libre speak) to April- I’ve had countless emails from people suggesting that THEY win the award, but April could easily have been [...]

As I mentioned over at Making Life Work for You, this book is full of great nuggets.  I will post a regular review when I am finished.  Until then, I will post the article links here.

There are some birthday parties going on.  Two in particular.

Timothy at Carpe Factum and his beautiful daughter, Abby celebrated their birthday yesterday.  He writes a fantastic post about (not) growing up.  However, you are missing out if you don’t check out the post he wrote last year.
The whole gang over at Joyful Jubilant Learning are [...]
