The Big White Farmhouse

intentional living, little by little

June 6, 2012

{link list} 6.6.12 Edition

I love link lists.
There’s nothing better than word of mouth, so when a blogger recommends a
recipe, a new shop or a great read, I am all about it! Here are a few things
I’ve come across this week…

1. We love a good board game here at the Big White Farmhouse.  Currently, our favorite game to play with guests is Apples to Apples…soo fun!  My big boys are dying to participate in a game on their level, so I’m thinking of surprising them with Qwirkle or Jenga this summer. 

2. I love the free monthly downloads that Amy offers on her blog, Let’s Explore.  June’s list is awesome: I think we’ll be adding making a joke book and painting with water to our summer camp plans.

3. How cute would this cake pan be for a bumblebee party or baby shower?  The ideas here and here are darling and this invitation?  Too sweet.

4. This dog gate contraption (which would work perfectly as a baby gate!) is genius.  Regular gates are too easy for my little monkeys to climb (ahem…), so I’m thinking this may be a better solution.  Definitely tucking this away for when Baby #4 is on the move.

5. How cute is this baby gift packaging idea?  I have bought from Little Sapling Toys for a gift before and the quality is amazing!     

6. Pregnancy craving of the week: chips and salsa!  Thinking about trying this salsa recipe to change it up a little (and it’d be awesome on tacos too). 

7. More books on my to-read list: My Life in France and 30 Lessons for Living: Tried and True Advice from the Wisest Americans. 

8.  It seems like forever since I’ve done any sort of artsy project!  Decorating flour sack dishtowels seems easy and fun…and they’d make adorable gifts too.

    My Life in France is one of my fav memoirs ever! Even if you don't like food, even if you don't like France, its a beautiful story of a life well-lived!
