Friday Favorites

Every week I seem to come across lots of articles, videos, and things that get my attention.  My hope is that I can be organized enough this year that I can organize these items and share a few each week.  We'll see how that goes!

This week's Friday Favorites:

There's a great article over on The Scoop on Balance talking about what parents should do when someone is mean to their child.  Good advice for parents and kids.

Pottery Barn has some great sales right now....I'm looking at buying some of this winter's decorations and tree ornaments to have for the holidays at the end of 2014 - it's never too early, right?  I love these hanging crystal stars, which I think could be up year round.

As my kitchen remodeling project begins, I noticed these cute baskets at Target last weeekend. I have yet to purchase any, but two of my daughters also liked them and mentioned them to me.  Click the image below to see the product information.

TED Talks - I have seen some TED talks at teacher in-services, but A Year of Reading posted this TED talk by Susan Cain, author of Quiet The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking - a book I enjoyed immensely.  As Cain begins her talk, reminiscing her summer camp day where there was nothing more she wanted to do than sit in a group of girls and read books together (something that sounds absolutely delightful to me), I could see myself. I am still someone that would rather curl up with a good book and spend some quiet time than go to a party with a whole bunch of people.

This picture should get your attention!  These rundies by Oiselle are a little bit of fun!  Lead From Behind, Get Your Rear in Gear, and Run Your Butt Off are the latest messages in the newest 3-pack available at Title Nine. Click on the image below for more product information.

What about you? What' caught your attention this week?
