Good Reads
Darcie {Such the Spot} remembers Thanksgiving 1999, the year her daughter was born with Down syndrome…and how that day changed her life forever.
The Independent reports, “Using a mobile phone when pregnant can seriously damage your baby” (5-18-2008). This is scary stuff.
Miscellany
Leigh’s husband surprised her with a family trip to Paris for her 30th birthday…and the photos are absolutely gorgeous. Meander over and take a peek.
“Every September and December, people are allowed to swim right to the edge of Victoria Falls, one of the largest waterfalls in the world.” Check out the photos over at A Cup of Jo! Would you do that? You’ll have to scroll down in the comments to read my answer.
I enjoyed watching this 4 1/2 minute clip about vaccines (”Growing Controversy Surrounds Vaccination Schedule,” 10News), featuring Dr. Bob Sears and AAP officials.

The mobile phone article concerns me too! We don’t even have a home phone – becuase we just use our cell phones. I’ve read studies on it before…but this is the first one I have read that makes such a definite correlation in the outcome.
