Sunday Finds

I have found some really great stuff around the web this week and I just couldn’t keep it all to myself.

Babylune held a St. Patrick’s Day Blog Carnival and it is stuffed with fabulous links, recipes, resources and fun!

I love Simply Thrifty’s 100 Cool Things Made from Recycled Materials.

Dr. Gwenn gives us a doctor’s viewpoint and advice in the wake of an alarming new study that shows that 1 in 4 teen girls are becoming infected with an STD.

Jason Womack has posted a very comprehensive time management guide for teens. (I have a tween that needs this!)

Aurelia Williams wrote a really good article on how to boost your teen’s self esteem.

Do you have budding scientist or doctor? My daughter loves medicine and had fun doing a virtual knee replacement and a hip replacement yesterday at EdHeads.org. The graphics are not too cartoony and not too graphic - and the “medical” staff guides you through the whole thing. The site has some other really cool hands on science activities as well.

Do you want to know my secret for getting the kids to help with the house cleaning? Check out my post at Casual Keystrokes to find out how I got my three kids to help clean the house - willingly - yesterday.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend. I am looking forward to visiting my parents this evening for some real Irish corned beef and cabbage. My mom is such an awesome cook.
