{link list} 8.8.12 Edition

1. Excellent post: Living in my Ideal World.  My favorite quote: “Our food choices do not define who we are. They certainly do not define our motherhood.”  As a mamma who has definitely fallen off the healthy food wagon lately, I really needed to read this one.  
 
2. And another good one: Cracked Goggles.  A good reminder if you’re in the middle of a trial and wonder what in the world God’s plan is.  

3.  Have you checked out Land of Nod lately?  Our Little Miss isn’t even here yet, but I think I’ve already picked out her twin bed!  Since that is still quite a ways down the line, I’ve got my eye on some wall art decor for the nursery instead: an alphabet print and maybe spelling out her name? 

4. I’m still struggling with being a consistent meal-planner, but this free printable from Angela at Anything but Perfect may help me get motivated.  So cute!

5. Have you ever made Browned Butter Crinkles?  I haven’t, but they look delicious!

6. Let’s talk jeans.  I’m still in the horrible stretchy pant stage of pregnancy and will be for the next two months (at least!), but I found this article incredibly interesting.  Gap and Old Navy are gateways to Mom Jeans?  Who knew?!

7. I think I need this print to hang up in our new house…LOVE the simple typography! Also love this one (maybe for the nursery?) and this one too.  

8. A simple idea for you DIY-ers: Painted Cork Board Messaging Hoops.  Cute for a craft room!


9. You must check out Camille’s new accessory shop. Her necklaces are so lovely and understated…must have pieces for your jewelry box!
