The Brick Testament — The Bible. In Lego.
Another great post from Lisa: Albert loves the bugs
No single change you can make to your diet is more important than altering what you drink: "About 21 percent of calories consumed by Americans over the age of 2 come from beverages." You are what you drink.
For Kris and her smug little lab friends: How to train your spouse. Hint: nagging is not the answer.
I know it may seem strange that as a parent with only cats for children I actually read a parenting blog, but Parent Hacks is a regular read for me. (Partly because Asha has been so supportive of GRS.) There's a great discussion going on there right now about the problem with star charts.
