The Big White Farmhouse

intentional living, little by little

July 4, 2012

{link list} 7.4.12 Edition

1. These baseball cupcakes are super cute and easy enough that I can show the boys and let them at it.  Thinking this will be a fun activity sometime soon.

2. I’ve been on a big organizing kick the past few weeks.  Finally tackled ALL of the boys’ outgrown clothes (from newborn to size 5!) and they are currently stored in a bunch of mis-matched plastic totes.  I’ll probably switch to this cost-effective solution once we move to our new house.

3. I loved this article about the “Nine Nanas”… a great reminder that goodness is still alive and well in this world!  My favorite quote from one of the Nanas: “We want people to know that someone out there cares enough to do something. We want to make sure that happiness happens.”  How inspiring.

4. Moving is stressful with so much to remember and think about!  This binder is genius and I will definitely be making one soon.

5. Did you see the Pottery Barn-eque American flag that Melissa did over at 320 Sycamore? LOVE. 

6. We tried this super easy recipe for a homemade Rotisserie Chicken last weekend.  Big hit with my husband!  Perfect for summer since there is no need to turn on the oven…goodness knows it’s hot enough already!

7. New recipes to try soon: Skinny Poolside Dip and Turkey Ranch Club Wraps.  Yum!

8. A new shop you must check out: Threads from Ashley at The Shine Project!  Their mission is incredible: “Threads is a cause driven business that changes the future of at risk youth. They come from various backgrounds, but all have one thing in common, they want to break the cycle. By employing them, we instill values of self reliance and hard work. They are paid fair wages for the bracelets they make, and in turn are able to pay their way through school. Many of Threads employees are first generation college students. They dream of becoming nurses, broadcasters, writers and engineers. Your purchase will directly impact a student. Even beyond financial support, your belief in them is a symbol of hope and trust that they can achieve what for so long seemed impossible. By purchasing Threads you are wearing more than just a bracelet, you are wearing change.”
