A list of links that have caught my eye over the past month* or so. *I hope to make this a more regular feature, so maybe I can work that “month or so” down to “week or so.”
This is old news by now, but the Pioneer Woman picked one of my photos for one of the groups in her recent Water assignment. I was (and still am) thrilled. (She also used it for the thumbnail for the entry, so it’s still featured when you find the article in her archives.)
Obvious Tips for Not-Very-Good Homemakers (a regular feature on the blog Every Day I Write the Book) makes me feel normal. I especially like this installment. (HT to Rebecca for e-mailing me the link.)
Mila’s Daydreams is hands-down the cutest site on the Internet, and I mean that in the best sense. Mila’s mommy tries to imagine what the little babe is dreaming about. It’s truly wonderful. I really love them all, but these are my favorites (so far). Via
Sarah has a nice entry (with lots of links) about World Breastfeeding Week (August 1–7). Ian and I will be celebrating several times a day all week long.
I really liked this article about apologizing to kids. Unfortunately it’s something I need to do more often than I want to admit. For specifics, I’ve really been trying to follow my dear friend Jamie’s example.
The Pen Story makes me want to go out and buy film and shoot it all up and develop it old-school. (Simon and I have watched this delightful stop-motion video five or six times.) Via

Yeah but… the Olympus PEN is just a really cool DSLR. (Be cheap like me and just print out your digital shots to make them feel more special!)

At first I thought Mila’s Daydreams were really weird—for some reason the photos creeped me out. But as I read the mother’s thoughts and considered how incredibly creative she is, I began to fall in love with the project. I love the internet for this very reason, the ability to see others’ amazing ideas and, when appropriate, to copy them. (However, I wish that no one would copy the Mila’s Daydreams concept. It’s just too sweet as it is.)

@Kaylee—Shows how much I know/pay attention. I just assumed the PEN was a film camera celebrating its 50th anniversary. Duh and Ha.
@RT—I agree with you so completely, from thinking it was creepy to falling in love to really hoping others don’t copy.
