Favorite Posts Friday ... on Saturday! {7.14.12}.

I'm so insanely behind on blogging.  Whatever.  I'm busy enjoying my family and having tons of fun doing it!  But I've managed to save up a few of my favorite posts from the last few weeks to share with all 12 of my readers :)  Enjoy friends!

Brittany Herself - Anastasia Steele was Clearly Not A Mother Of Three  -- Um, there is no way to explain this other than that I looked like a freakshow sitting in the corner of Panera giggling to myself while reading it.  Seriously.  Read it now.  Except if you're easily offended/grossed out.  Then you might want to avoid it.

Blue-Eyed Bride - My Fuel --  My therapist recently had me think of a list of things that I need.  Not in a physical sense, but in an emotional one.  Often times, I'm too busy taking care of the physical and emotional needs of my family throughout the day, that I let my needs fall by the wayside.  So after much thought, I came up with 5 things that would make me a better person and in turn make me a better wife and mom.  I'm working on a post about it, but I thought it was interesting when reading this post that 4 of Erin's 5 "things" in her post today were the same as mine.  I think they're relatively simple things that moms tend to neglect in order to put their families first.  Good read.  Definitely makes you think. 

Expoits of a Military Mama - Irresponsible Advocacy -- Yes.  It's no secret that I'm both a huge breastfeeding advocate AND a formula feeding mom.  Yes, you can be both.  I love the way Sally describes responsible advocacy in this post.  It's well written and she makes an excellent point. 

The Bloggess - The man deserves a damn medal -- So funny.  The Beyonce post is one of my all time favorite blog posts, and this is a great follow up.  I wish I could come up with funny stuff like this to do for Brian.  Maybe someday when I'm not covered in baby vomit and snot at the end of the day I'll have the energy to do it.  Maybe.

Baby Rabies - A letter to my 51 year old self -- Beautiful.  Just beautiful.  I think most of us with small children have had these thoughts run through our heads at some point or another, and it's just plain true.  If you're a Mom of kids of any age, you'll enjoy this post.  I promise. 

** No one asked me to feature their blog. I'm just passing along my favorites with hopes that you might find something you like too. And if you find a blog you like, I hope that you'll do like I did and follow their blog, whether by RSS, Friend Connect, or email. And do the same for mine if you like!
