Best of February 2014

Happy Sunday, I hope you're having a great weekend! This one's been the best in recent memory; Laurel and Violet's squabbling (OMG the squabbling!) has suddenly taken a major turn for the better and we've enjoyed such a nice mix of nature and craft adventures, household tasks, and family time. Also, we've been hosting Clifford from Vi's school this weekend...so cute.

Anyway, I wanted to share the Best of February if you're looking for some fun reading this afternoon. Also I'm honored to featured in Boston Globe Magazine today, sharing about family friendly meal planning resources -- thanks, BGM! And finally, if you need even more entertainment, check yesterday's Hey Internet, Keep Being Awesome. Have a great afternoon!
