The things I do for my child:
Ada’s at preschool celebrating her birthday with friends this morning. I wanted to send her in with a healthy celebration snack, so I saw this Olaf cheese stick idea on Pinterest and thought it’d be a good accompaniment to the raisins and chocolate covered pretzels. Definitely easy and fun if you’re looking to make something more festive for the preschooler crowd.
Oh, and I’m really bad at drawing, so these are beginner-level easy!
Read these:
#1: Did you see this piece on Smithsonian.com (via Nature) about the link between a person’s gut bacteria and brain? Wild.#2: What an interesting story about Afghan women "putting aside their own safety and their country's culture" to create a national cycling team.
#3: Here’s how you pick a perfectly ripe avocado. It’s so easy!
#4: I’ve been experimenting with eating a lower-glycemic diet for a variety of reasons. I’ll write more about it next week, but if you’d like to see some of the recipes that have been inspiring me, check out my Pinterest board.
#5: Let’s support these 13 Stores That Won’t Open On Thanksgiving. No one needs to shop at night on the actual holiday.
#6: Some deals!
- 49% off this genius over-sink cutting board
- Joy the Baker’s Homemade Decadence is only $18 online!
- Save 24% off these sustainable candles (great gift idea)
- These Lincoln Logs are on Ada’s X-mas list. They’re 46% off.
#7: But, seriously, guys, you HAVE to look at this Cat Draft Stopper. (Promise!)
#8: Whoa. Several clothing start-ups now design jeans for muscular athletes.
