Linky Love Saturday

I really, really, REALLY want to see Micmacs , and was a bit sad when I couldn't go this week with some old friends. I guess I'll just have to wait until it's on netflix, because it's already gone!
"Green & Gorgeous: Home Beauty Routine" has all types of tips and directions for making your own beauty products out of basic household items/food.
I would have never thought to use Craigslist as a way to find cheap summer produce!
Again, with the birthday party ideas; these people are genius!
A smorgasbord of felt food tutorials, by the Crafty Crow. That one is going in the favorites section!
A neighborhood 'book party'; ideas, props, pictures! So. stinking'. awesome!
To spice things up, a juice reaction post in response to CNN's 'Negotiated Fidelity' stance. Bizarre, people!
If you're in Lincoln, hit up the County Fair this weekend for all day fun events. Don't miss out on the fabulous Prairie Land Dairy milkshakes! (Get free tickets at any U-Stop.)
Just watched The Lovely Bones last night. Super strange and I'm not sure how I feel about it. Review coming next week.
Just finished reading BUST magazine cover to cover, and love their 'how to wrap a scarf' tips, AND that Molly Ringwald was in it! Also, their Movie suggestions went straight to my queue.

I love the idea behind tools for tiny hands, i.e. the Montessori Method , and like to have Lukka 'figure things out for himself', even when he is playing. I try to have the most simple and basic toys available for 3 reasons: a) simple toys generally have less parts, which means less of a hassle for me b) simple toys inspire way more creativity and imagination than do 'exact replica' toys c) they are much more aesthetically pleasing to look at, therefore, not making every nook and cranny of our house an eyesore!

A portrait of his sister. From Soulemama's blog : A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.
