I hope that you all had a great weekend, and a good holiday weekend for all of you celebrating Labor Day. I usually like to feature a few posts from the Carnival of Family Life when mentioning it, but we’ve just come back from a weekend Road Trip and I’m wiped out! So, feel free to head on over to Down with the Kids for this week’s edition. I’ll join you as soon as I catch a few zzzzzzzz’s.

To participate in next week’s carnival, head on over here.

Wow, I’m so late getting to this this week! I’ve actually slipped and forgotten to submit to the carnival the past couple of weeks, so here’s hoping my brain saves a little space for remembering from now on.

This week’s Carnival of Family Life is hosted at Sandier Pastures. Here are a few posts that I enjoyed:

Head over to play2relax to read gameguy’s description of his son’s love of play. It brought a smile to my face more than once, and the last line of the post almost made me cry. Fantastic.

DownWithTheKids shared a great post in Mind the Bump that brought back some fond memories, and the relief that I really am past that stage for good!

I love the tips and ideas in Kids in the Kitchen posted at Tyler’s Triumph.

If you’d like to participate in next week’s carnival, head on over here to submit your post. I’ll try to remember, too!

This week’s Carnival of Family Life is being hosted at Write from Karen. It brought in a record 76 entries! Here are a few posts that I thought you might appreciate.

Check out Babies and the Sun at Let’s Talk Babies for some tips on keeping the littlest of the family members safe and sound during the hot summer days.

Expat Chef hypothesizes on The Incredible Shrinking Brain posted at The Expatriate’s Kitchen. I could add a few to that list as well!

Get good and dirty in Good Clean Dirt posted at The Common Room. A good muddiness is one of the fine pleasures in life.

To participate in next week’s carnival, submit a family-related post here.

Hey all! The Carnival of Family Life is posted now at An Island Life. I haven’t had time to peruse all of the great posts, but will do that soon and feature a few out here. In the meantime, you can look for a few favorites yourself!
