The Big White Farmhouse

intentional living, little by little

July 18, 2012

{link list} 7.18.12 Edition

1. I loved and appreciated the brutal honesty of Jenny’s Project Health post from last week.  As I quickly approach the heaviest weight I’ve ever been (albeit while pregnant, but still a little scary!), I want to make less excuses and more plans for my health once this little one is born.  I’m sure I’ll share more here on the blog when that time comes…I’ll need the accountability!  

2. I love this colorful map of the United States and it’s a free printable to boot!  I think it would look darling blown up in a kids’ room or possibly a playroom?  Keeping this idea stored away for our new house!


3. This recipe for homemade teething biscuits is such a great way to use up all of the baby cereal that we never seem to finish when my babies start solid foods!  I think they would make a darling 1st birthday favor too (for a bunch of little attendees)…wouldn’t they be so sweet cut in a themed cookie cutter and packaged in something like these bags?     


4. An amazing story: Pregnant Woman Nurses Abandoned Infant to Save Her Life.


5. Need a good idea to encourage your children to help around the house?  Taping a square to the floor will definitely be a challenge to get my boys to sweep!  Chores = fun!


6. Did you see this boys’ room over on Young House Love?  So many good ideas there…it makes me so excited to be able to design a brand new room for my kids!


7. A new take on an old classic: Ham and Cheese Crepes.


8. I almost laughed out loud as I read this post from the Nester.  Every time I wash our master bedroom sheets, I notice the bare box spring and think: “Man! I need to do something about that!” …to which I promptly forget about it!  Nester’s solution to purchase a simple sheet set (use the fitted sheet for the box spring and the flat for pillows, etc) is GENIUS.  


9. (A BONUS this week!) Inspired by Grace’s closet clean-out, I decided to take a good look at my own wardrobe and weed out a few unworn things.  My selling site of choice is usually ebay, but this time I’m trying out a new one called Threadflip.  Anyone have any experience with it or positive/negative reviews?  You can find my “closet” here.
