The Big White Farmhouse

intentional living, little by little

{chit chat} A List of Links for your Monday Morning

Happy Monday!  My weekend was busy, busy with a painted living room, a soccer game and sickness hitting 3/5 of us!  And while all of those things are incredibly exciting (yeah right), I thought you may be more interested in a few things I’ve found over the past few days.  Enjoy your morning coffee and click away!
—————————————————————–

1. Emily at Jones Design Company asked a thought-provoking question on her blog that I’ve been thinking about all weekend: What kind of a family are you?  What is your family motto? 

2. Sick of all the junk TV being marketed to little kids these days?  Be sure to check out Clara Tales, an inspiring new project in the works from a Mamma of three.  She currently has one film created and is hoping for financial support to create even more.  If you’re interested, be sure to check out this page to donate.  She is also looking for web/logo design and marketing help if that’s your specialty.   

3. Did you read about this mini-miracle?  I am so, so happy for Ana…I’m sure pregnancy will be MUCH more enjoyable now!

4. My food cravings are all over the place.  I wouldn’t say I have specific cravings this time around, just random “must make this now!” type things.  This and this will probably be on the menu at some point this week. 

5. Found this idea via Pinterest and love it!  I’m trying to overcome my OCD tendencies and instead of waiting to start until the new year, I want to begin now.  Anyone have a favorite Bible verse that really speak to active little boys?  I’m open to ideas.

6. Isn’t this vase so gorgeous?   It would make such a thoughtful gift for newlyweds, but I kinda want one for myself!

7. You must read the story about this amazing 17-year-old girl named Rae!  She is running from Boston to Huntington Beach barefoot (yes, barefoot!), raising money for the organization Soles4Souls.  What an amazing and inspirational girl!  Be sure to check out her page…she needs host homes in Ohio and much of the midwest.

8. Grace at Camp Patton posted these drool-worthy sweet treats.  Do I dare?  My attempts at a “healthy prenatal weight gain” are surely going to go out the window!
