Tuesday Tours: What’s Happening on the Web

I LOVE aprons! There is something so retro and feminine and fun about slipping one on to make dinner. You can win one of your own, courtesy of The Hip Hostess, over at Apron Strings Aflutter, right now through Oct. 2.

I often think to myself, “I should really take CPR again! It’s been ten years!” But I haven’t yet scrounged up the time to take a course. Now, there’s another solution – the CPR Anytime Personal Learning Program (created by the American Heart Association). Learn CPR in the comfort of your own home by entering to win one of five DVD sets over at 5 Minutes for Mom. Deadline: Oct. 10.

Announcements

Ever thought about becoming a running coach? “You can start your own business and make money doing what you love — running and motivating other women!” Interested? Read more about becoming a Certified EZ8 Coach. If you’re in southern AZ and become a coach, be sure to let me know. I want to go to a EZ8 Running Camp (after the baby’s born, of course!).

Steph over at Adventures in Babywearing had her baby…little, precious Ivy LaRue (don’t you just love that name?). Go say “Congratulations” and read all her beautiful posts, including her birth story.

Good Reads

How many times does a compliment cross your mind, but not your lips? That’s how Genny of MyCup2Yours begins a recent blog post, entitled “Got a Compliment? Give it Away!” if you haven’t been to MC2Y, you really need to get over there! Genny is a thoughtful, positive, talented writer. Her posts often inspire me to better living.

I recently read a great little article in The New York Times, entitled “6 Food Mistakes Parents Make.” Excellent reminders…whether you have a picky eater, a stubborn eater, or…you just want a few tips for eating more healthfully. Enjoy!

Feeling a little money-crunched lately? Read A Frugal Housewife’s article, entitled “20 Ways to Cut Your Monthly Spending.” We do almost all of the items on the list already, but we need to work on #4 (the “plan your weekly menu” part…), #9, and #16.

Cool Deals

Bravissimo (“Lingerie, Swimwear, Clothing for D-K Cup Women“) is having their big End of Summer Sale and I’m so tempted to go shopping. Has anyone tried this UK specialty shop?

Miscellany

If I were a billionaire, I would scrapbook digitally at How Fast They Grow. The layouts are gorgeous and the concept is brilliant…but I just can’t justify $7.50/page. What about you?
