The World According to Mommy

I'm borrowing this idea from a few of the great blogs I read. They do a round-up once a week of all the great articles they've read from around the blogosphere. So here are the links that I've loved this week. Hope you enjoy them!

Guy Named Dave has a 100 Thing Challenge in which he will live one year with only 100 things. I think this is a really interesting idea (although I know I could never pull it off), but reading about his challenge has added inspiration to my decluttering mission.

Domestic Cents had a great little piece about how her life has changed since having a baby. She also has some very sweet words about her husband.

Get Rich Slowly had an article on how to have a frugal Christmas by making gifts yourself. I am terribly uncreative and not at all crafty, but this list inspired me to try my hand at making our Christmas cards for this year. (Which could end up being a terrible idea that I quickly abandon once I see how crazy some of my cards might look.)

One of my favorite mommy blogs, EJ and Henry, had a posting about how allergies, teething, and milk don't mix.

Frugal Babe made me realize that I'm not nearly as frugal as I'd like to think I am. This woman is seriously good at frugality. Check out her frugal plans for Christmas.

This Young House is a super cool little design, decorating blog. They had a great article about their trip to the flea market. They have so many great ideas, but I'm really digging the old stamps they found.

Simple Mom had a great article about how to manage the I-Want-It-Now, particularly when it comes to buying a house. We've lived in our home for over five years, so it doesn't specifically apply to us, but I thought a lot of her ideas could be applied to all sorts of other things I'd like to do.
