It’s been the longest week of ever. Well that’s not true, I had a jacked up week last week with a migraine from down under {not Australia, I love you!}, and this week was incrementally better. Turns out I had a pinched nerve in my neck and a bunch of dislocated ribs. Oh hooray! Thanks Lupus, I sure do love weeks like that.
I lie.
Anyway, there’s a lot of cool stuff being pumped out around the web so I’m going to share my favorites. Friday is usually the day I write about travel, and I have a million and one Europe travel stories to share, but during the holidays at least, I’m going to focus on other things.
Sound good? I thought so.
Weekly web wrap up:
- Favorite sugar cookie recipe – Kristen’s photos make me want to cook things. That’s quite a feat.
- Creamy peppermint tart – Lindsey made a mouthwatering tart over at Make and Takes. I die.
- Disney’s Babble named me one of their Top 100 Mom Blogs of 2011. – Say what? I’m in stellar, amazing, ridiculous company. Go read those blogs right now.
- Mocktail or Cocktail? – You choose.
- Skinny jeans are for sinners? Oh, somebody pass me a mocktail, I can’t take the nonsense anymore.
- Peppermint crunch brownie bites – Chocolate and peppermint combined? Yep, I’ll take three.
- The Bust DIY Guide to Life – Martha always finds the coolest stuff. I too could have used this when I was 15 and super awkward.
- H&M uses fake models – Well NO WONDER those !@%$# clothes don’t fit me. Still love their accessories though.
- Holiday snowman party FREE printables – Can you imagine a classroom party with these? Stop it.
- I want to stop time – The most beautiful post Kami has ever written.
- Speaking of which, there’s still time to donate to the fund for Baby Afton‘s medical bills. Even a dollar would help.
