[ Random shot from one of our recent weekend breakfast outings: coffee, oj, & crayons. ]
Lots of things have been bookmarked to share lately. Here's the most recent list:
• Jamaica's Vintage Paper pillow
• Simple Mom's 40 Ways To Go Greener At Home (Besides Just Recycling)
• Brene's take on the punched butterfly project (used as part of the read along of her book I Thought It Was Just Me: Telling The Truth About Perfectionism, Inadequacy, and Power)
• A beautiful post about recycling tin cans as vases (the first bouquet is so awesome)
• A great tutorial from Lisa Tutman-Oglesby about stamping & embossing on a transparency
• Seeing the Everyday : the small things magazine
• Autism Society of America and AMC Entertainment team up to offer Sensory Friendly Film nights at AMC theaters
• Healthy oatmeal cookies from Martha (not bad at all)
• The awesome Playing for Change CD/DVD is available now (available on iTunes)

I thought it was the coolest thing. We have taken Simon to a bunch of movies but struggle with the amount of noise he makes :).

Thanks for sharing, Ali. I have already forwarded two of the links to online communities (AP slightly crunchy homeschoolers, and homeschooling creatively). Going to our blog is a great "pick me up" on the tough days, and icing on the good ones.

I am also thankful for the AMC Sensory Friendly Film info!! So excited to try it out and not worry about our son making his loud (but happy) noises and not sitting still. We've tried movie theaters twice, but found it much, much easier to just wait for the DVD.
Thanks again!

Thanks for these links!
I've spent an inordinate amount of time on SimpleMom today, and I'm not even a parent. And I love, loved that pillow. Somehow J's blog fell off my regular rotation. Thanks for the reminder to add her back!

Thanks for the links! I discovered the playing for change cd last night and LOVE it! We have the sensory friendly films here and several of the kiddos that I work with have gone with their families. The parents love it and say the whole family can go to a movie and not have to worry about someone taking the special needs child out every few minutes or having major meltdowns before the movie even begins.
