weekend reads

I posted this on Sunday, but it went out under an old date. So here it is, almost Monday. Hope you enjoy.

I love this post about pictures from Spanki Mills Photography. I am one of those people who find it hard to justify the price of professional photographs, but reading this reminded me of how quickly those chubby little hands turn into the long and lean hands of big kids. You can't get those moments back, but you absolutely should document them.

This post is from An Attitude Adjustment and discusses why society has an issue with moms on the internet. While I'm the first to admit that there are days when I spend more time than I should in front of a computer screen, for better or for worse, that is how I socialize these days. I rarely see friends during the day, I almost never chat on the phone, I don't go out for coffee, or quilting or down to the river to beat my laundry on the rocks. That is something that I need to work on, but I thank God for the internet and the ability to reach out to people around the world and form friendships. Even if we can't go out for coffee together.

This is a post from a few months back, but I just read it this week, from one of my favorite people, Sarah, from Sarah and the Goon Squad. She shares my fear of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and wonders, like I do, where this medium of blogging is headed.
