This weekend  I am on my way out of town!  Daddy is in charge of the girl tribe and I’m joining some college friends for our annual reunion weekend.  We will be staying up too late, eating too many fattening foods, watching movies, catching up and laughing hysterically! But before I go, I wanted to share some things I found to be The Best Of….

The Best post on ducks, surviving your first book deal, and shorts 2 sizes bigger:

The Best “I am not a mean mommy” post goes to Kat!  I love this super fun idea! Sure to make your kids scream with joy!

The Best Food blog goes to Jen @ How To: Simplify. I love the recipes, the great photos, and it makes me want to cook! Plus, my life is anything but, and it gives me hope!

I recommend the pizza dough and the banana crumble top muffins! Yummy!

And, how about a Summer Giveaway from a new blog I have just recently fell absolutely head over heals in love with?  Take a look at Jones Design Company and enter to win some of Emily’s glorious creations.  Be sure to stop in her Summer Boutique as well after you enter the giveaway below, it is gorgeous!

I hope you have a great weekend!  Let me know if you found anything to be The Best Of this week in the comments!
