You guys!

The world wide web blows my mind. There are just so many good, good things out there.

Here are some of my fave tidbits I’ve been dying to share with you.

♥ My sassy, witty (& gorgeous) friend Jen (a friend I met my freshman year at an itty bitty college nestled in the hills of Virginia), writes a smashing pro-Disney princess argument on her blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

I’m sure that Snow White has many amiable qualities (not the least of which is that her Prince rides a horse) but her voice annoys the ever loving daylights out of me so we will skip her…Rapunzel and Jasmine both fell in love with a poor man on the run from the law. Aurora’s true love was enough to wake her from a coma and Tiana worked her buns off, only to realize that nothing can be more fulfilling than building a family.

Read the rest, here.

♥ For mothers & mothers to-be someday,
good things to know:
take it easy
&
these are the lines of a story.
(Thanks Dana, one of the sweetest bring joy readers, for sharing that second link with me.)

♥ Justin Timberlake, you cutie.
You make me swoon when you’re a dancing block of tofu.

♥ Fact: Cooking shows are about the fantasy of a perfect life.
(One of the most amusing New Yorker pieces I’ve read of late.)

♥ After I stumbled upon this site,
I’m totally sold on line drying my clothes.
(& duh, I live in Texas, where there’s lots of hot sun, & it’s FREE!)

♥ Are you in threat of being buried alive by paperwork? 12 tips on how to tame the paper.

♥ I am absolutely so inspired/impressed by Adina‘s work in the garden.
We have a lot of experience in gardening, but not gardening as renters, & I’m afraid I’m a bit lost,
but Adina’s post confirms that gardening (regardless of your situation) is possible.
Okay, now I’ve got work to do.

♥ Dreena opens up about motherhood & work.
I love her the more for her honesty.

♥ Joy shows how to put together a simple & thoughtful care package for a baby.
(Of course, you know she knows what she’s talking about as evidenced by the lovely little package she sent me for my 30th.)

♥ Frugal party decor.
These DIY hanging fabric flowers are so easy-peasy (& cheap) & oh so pretty.

♥ What do you think, are vegans privileged & out of touch?

♥ This is why we love our men.
