Gingerbread Cookies Gone Wild (The title I gave Annie Barnett‘s post after the little darling showed picchas of her Gingerbread gals in bikini’s!) Got a cookie recipe to share? Need to find your next favorite cookies to bake? Grace Table has gotcha covered with a link-up at the bottom of Annie’s post. I want to make them ALL.
Aliza Latta has more talent in her eyelashes than I have in my entire body. Please do yourself a favor and BUY something fun this weekend–she’s giving away extra Christmas goodies when you do (details here). Her prices are incredibly low, so stock up before she wises up and charges more!
Anna Rendell, a friend and incourage co-contributor of mine, has just launched her first book, A Moment of Christmas: daily Christmas devotions for time-strapped moms. You’ll be encouraged and inspired by her beautiful writing, and I hope you’ll encourage her back by downloading a (very affordable) copy for yourself. Really, truly, it’s a heart-work of hers, and it will mean the world if you grab one.

Three Things You Don’t Know About Your Children And Sex by Anne Marie Miller. Sometimes as parents we hear what we want to hear…but sometimes you need to listen to what you don’t want to hear.

Favorite song of the season? Cloverton’s Christmas rendition of A Broken Hallelujah…you’ll have it on auto play until the end of the year.
Speaking of music, have you heard of The Nostalgia Machine? Pick a year, any year (well, between 2013 and 1960), and then listen to the songs that defined it. I hit gridlock on Memory Lane.
Another Map one from HuffPo (Business this time), These 9 Maps Should Absolutely Outrage Southerners by Emily Cohn. And they do, at least this Southerner….
