How Does She posted about this terrific freebie - a free Photobook from Picaboo. I've made one for each of the older two's first years. Plan on doing the same when Trilogy reaches that milestone, but in the meantime, maybe a book about their hair?

Over-Used Recipe anyone?
Tiffany at one of my favorite blogs, Simply Modern Mom (also the sponsor of Project 52: Date Nights - love this) is hosting an Over-Used Recipe Swap all this week.
I'm going to contribute my (inherited from a roommate in college)
Chili and Cornbread.
Seriously. Over-used and over-thought.
INGREDIENTS:
3 cans of chili
1 can of cornbread (LOVE Marie Callender's version)
DIRECTIONS:
Use 9x13 baking pan. Open chili, pour into pan. Mix cornbread according to directions on can. Pour cornbread mix over chili. Bake according to directions on the can.
Eat.
Parenting Fail
Last night Curly yelled at me because I wouldn't give him any more food after he went to bed. When I finally pulled him out of the bedroom (after 1 1/2 hours of trying to get him to sleep) and gave him ONE sausage link, he told me that he didn't like me.
Scratch that, he YELLED that he didn't like me.
This afternoon he commented on a character in the book "Llama Llama Mad at Mama" who was being mean to his mama - "That's not good. I would never be mean to my mama."
I'm lucky he still loves me enough to forget starving =)

The Case for Make Believe: An excellent review over at SimpleKids
As a first grade teacher, my favorite gift for birthdays and holidays is a good, engaging, can't-put-it-down book. Not just for the first read-through and its value, but also for the re-enactments and sequels that young children use their hard-earned imagination for. Megan over at SimpleKids posted a wonderful review of a great book about the value of Make Believe. Check it out here.

FlatDaddies
Flat Daddies are full-size printed posters (waist and up) of parents who are serving overseas in the military.
You can give a FlatDaddy to a military family with your $50 donation. Imagine the connections for the children. Having Daddy's image with them wherever they go, to hug and talk to....priceless and inspiring.
