Best Links of the Week

Posted by susiebloom on January 27, 2012 in Blog | 2 comments

Snow is in the fore­cast here in Col­orado tomor­row.  It makes me miss Tuc­son, AZ– where we lived a few years ago (this photo was taken at the Desert Museum).  Tomor­row in Tuc­son it will be a balmy 72 degrees.  This is the best time of year to be there– the desert is erupt­ing with gor­geous blooms.  We’re about due for a visit.  Instead I will be holed up tomor­row evening work­ing on a new look for the blog.  I’m not sure how long it will take, but I’m antsy to start some new DIY projects.  Mean­while, here are some links I found inter­est­ing this week:

–The best foods to eat when you are PMS-ing at self.com
–The 10 cheap­est, health­i­est foods money can buy at Cheap­Healthy­Good
–The USDA released a 2012 ver­sion of their Plant Har­di­ness Zone Map (the last ver­sion was released in 1990).  See if your zone has changed by enter­ing your zip code in the inter­ac­tive map
–Kids art– wax resist paint­ings (these would make great wall art) at play­ing­bythe­book
–Kinder­garten math bag– keep your kids busy with this activ­ity at Chas­ingChee­rios
