Here are some quick links and fun stuff I found around the web this week:

Other new posts this week include reviews of three books from The Complete Idiot’s Guide’ series and of the children’s book William is Going Green, and why making a Shutterfly photo book works for me!  I also participated in a couple of PBN blog blasts – come and read about my kids’ mis-matched outfits, and the ‘zoo’ (well, more like a kennel in my case) that I live with.    More fun giveaways coming next week too, so stay tuned (and subscribed)…

This week’s Contest Round-Up is up over at the other site as well. And don’t forget to check the Contests page during the week – there are some pretty awesome giveaways happening around the blogosphere so you don’t want to miss out on your chance to enter any of them!

Some interesting posts I read this week on other sites include:

• A wonderful look at why even a small house is still a home, over at 5 Minutes For Parenting.
• Two posts over at Playgroups Are No Place For Children – first reacting to the news of an impending move, and then Jennifer’s own reaction to that post. And her discovery that single parenting during the week is less difficult than she feared it would be. 
• Audrey’s romantic NYC getaway gone wrong, over at Mom Generations (Audrey’s Blog). And congratulations to WIlliam on his trophy – and his fourth birthday!
• I haven’t tried this myself yet, but Blogging Tips posted about a script out there that will capture screen colors for you – sounds like a great tool to help with web or blog designing.
• There’s a great opportunity for those of you out there who either already participate in Tackle It Tuesday over at 5 Minutes For Mom, or any of you who might be thinking about it.  Head over to check it out!

I’ve got something exciting coming up for you this week! It’s an idea I’ve been mulling over for a while and now that my site is back up and running, I think it’s time to unveil it.  Check back tomorrow for more details!  Here’s a hint though – start thinking back…  

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
