1. Back in November or December I was watching a hair tutorial and the background music included in it was so pretty. I couldn't find the name of the artist so I Googled some of the lyrics and learned it was the song Candles by Daughter. She has such a pretty, mellow sound. I've included her in previous mixes here on the blog and you click the player above to hear a few more of her music while browsing this week's links.
2. Babble did a round up of the 20 most kickass women in history to celebrate International Women's Day. Speaking of Babble, I was quoted in their article on being a stay at home and/or work at home parent. I have so much admiration for stay at home parents. I've watched John do this job for the last year and a half and I have a lot of respect for him. I currently work at home full time and John and I split the S.A.H parenting duties as John works part time. At the end of those days I am TIRED but very fulfilled! :) I have also worked outside of the home as a parent and I enjoyed reading through Babble's article on that as well. Babble creates such a nice community on all of their websites.
3. Here is a cool story about how a 300 square foot home was built in just eight hours. On a similar note, this house was built from pallets. I love the creativity involved in projects like these.
4. There is a tradition in my family: when someone gets married they are gifted a Betty Crocker cookbook. My mother still has her original Betty Crocker cookbook that was given to her at her bridal shower. I can remember looking through it as a child and I enjoyed seeing the vintage editions of Betty Crocker cookbooks in this post.
5. I can't stop staring at: these shoes, this hat and this little nugget.
