The Big White Farmhouse

intentional living, little by little

August 17, 2016

{link list} Best of the Web Vol.05

I’ve been saving links for months with the intention of writing one of these posts!  What things have you been loving on the internet these days?   

#FBF // It sometimes feels taboo to admit that I love my epidurals.  I have so much respect for the ladies who choose the natural route, but Blythe’s experience was so similar to mine…every single time.  No stress or fear, just lots of relaxing and chatting it up with the nurses.  Happy to see a medicated birth told in such a positive, non-scary way.

Oven-Puffed Pancake with Blueberries // Adding this recipe to my list to try soon.  Looks so delicious! 


5 Surprising Ways Reading Fiction Benefits your Mental Health // I can vouch for #4, although I think pregnancy may have a role in that too.


Love and Loss Ring Pair // “Love makes our hearts whole, loss leaves an emptiness. Somehow we hold these opposing things together. The joy of love, the pain of loss conincide in our hearts. We wouldn’t change it–this beautiful paradox. It makes us better and braver and more tender.”  Loved the story behind this ring and thought it was perfect for my friends who may have lost babies to miscarriage.


Why I Decided to Stop Writing about my Children // Thought provoking.


These 3 Numbers in Google Analytics Will Help You Make Better Content // While helpful for blogs, I really appreciated tip #3 in terms of my shop.   


Sometimes you need to dance to the beat of your OWN drum. //  The woman in the gray sweatshirt = what I look like when trying to follow any type of dancing (Zumba, I’m looking at you).  This video had me laughing.
