Do you Heartsy? It’s like a Groupon but for etsy shops. HOW AWESOME IS THAT? Well, I have become recently addicted to it. Especially because I have become a Heartsy VIP which means you pay money to get special deals and sales. Well, the cost of the VIP was worth the discount, so I couldn’t resist. And now I’m Christmas shopping. Anywhoo. Go. Heartsy till you can’t heartsy anymore.

Amy Andrews’ Tell Your Time e-book is on sale for $2. TWO DOLLARS.

Jo-Lynne went on a tour of a Horizon organic dairy farm. It was highly interesting. Especially if you are having the organic-raw-pasteurized debate with yourself. (And I mean, who isn’t? Right?!)

Did you see my guest post on Make and Takes this week? It made me laugh.

My bestest blog bud, Brandi has begun blogging again! (Ah, doesn’t that alliteration make you happy?) And her 2nd post on Brandi Loves Bacon is a must-read! It’s all about the weirdness and greatness of online friendships. Go read Connectivity.

I live like 45 minutes from Staci and Mandi. About 10 from Becky. 30 from Kristen. And 15 from Mandy (our non-blogging sisterchick). I’ve always thought it would be awesome to have a mapquest like website where we could plug in our addresses and see the most central location to meet. Well, apparently someone beat me to it. Enter GeoMidpoint. I probably just lost billions.

And for fun, some greatness from my Facebook Page this week.

Stuff You Should Know

Ever wondered if sunblock really works? I love this post by Mandi at Green Your Way: Balancing the Risks of Sunscreen and Cancer and all the posts she links to. For the record, I use Mexitan sunblock!

I am totally doing THIS on my next Disney trip. Oh. How awesome is that?!

Wanna help a family raise money for their adoption? Check out (and buy) one of these cute cake carriers!

Do you love that Georgia print? Found it on my new favorite Pinterest board of the same name!

Blood Water Belt is up to 100 girls! Wanna join the sisterhood?

Remember my friend, Amber? And her son Nathan? He recently had surgery and is home now. Thought you might want to catch up with them. And pray for them. With passion.

My friend Jodi is adopting a little boy (to add to their FOUR GIRLS!). You need to read their story and get to know their family!

OK. That’s all the stuff I know! Got anything *I* should know?!

Stuff You Should Know

My New Favorite is being retired. I just need somethin’ new. How ’bout…

linky love

It’s kinda fancy, isn’t it? Except for the “stuff” part. Hmmm. Let’s try it today, shall we?

I slightly follow a blog by a girl who is a missionary…no, she’s more than that. She’s just a God-lover who is living and loving in Africa. This post, Around Here We Live Bent Low left me in tears. It’s gorgeous.

My friend, Catie from Newby at Home started a new blog called Mammary Memoir. And yeah, it’s about breastfeeding. If you’re a nursing mom, you’ll love this one.

World Vision is giving away a fabulous picture book called African Heartbeat on Impress Your Kids. If you have a sponsored child, it’s a must read. If you don’t sponsor a child—WHY NOT?!

I have gone Pinterest crazy. I started a new account for Impress Your Kids but realized it was too confusing to have two accounts. So, I just combined them into one. Which is kinda annoying because I’m repinning things as myself. Anyway, make sure you’re following me. And then, be amazed at this genius I found on Pinterest this week. It’s the little things:

Kristen from We are That Family is on her way to Africa to see her Mercy House. I have tears in my eyes just typing this! Check out her prayer calendar and please join me in praying for her!

Tiny Prints is doing 99cent Father’s Day cards! You know I don’t usually share deals on here, but this is a good one. For Mother’s Day they did this same deal and I was SO impressed when I got the cards. First of all–less than $1. HELLO. Have you bought a card lately?! Second: personalized photo card! Third: DELIVERED TO YOUR HOME WHICH MEANS YOU DON’T HAVE TO STAND IN THE GROCERY STORE WITH TWO GRABBY KIDS WHILE YOU READ THROUGH THE ONLY SLIGHTLY INSPIRING CARDS THAT ARE LEFT THE TWO DAYS BEFORE MOTHER’S DAY. *sigh* This is my new favorite. (<—dang, maybe I shoulda kept the name!) Anywhoo. Enter the code FDGC99 and be prepared for happiness. (ends 6/14)

And oh yeah. Did I tell you we went to the Braves game on Memorial Day? It was blazing hot. But the kids loved it:

OK. That’s all I got. Any stuff I should know from you?
