This is what happens when you open every single link in a different tab while surfing… I posted my list on the wrong article. Oh well, can’t win every time…

My love list this week -

The good: I wonder why I never knew Doctor Who was such an AWESOME show? Makes me want to see it from the very start! I’ve been watching the 2005 version, and I absolutely LOVE it.

The bad: NaNoWriMo fail… again. I am so behind schedule that there is no chance of catching up. But, no tears… I’ve been busy with other stuff. Some of) it worth it (school, work, baby) some not so much –albeit awesome–(like watching Doctor Who on netflix), but failing is not bad. You learn a lot, right?

The ugly: I’ve been totally lacking motivation to do my work for like a week. Not sure why am I including this on my love list though…

As an adult I will openly admit I like to color :)
Thanks for the recommendation on the coloring book, it is so very nice to support self funded artists.

Thanks for this recommendation! I ordered one for my niece and one for me… maybe one day I’ll have a little one to fill it in, or I could just color it myself for fun :)

Also – I think this is my first comment here – just wanted to say thank you for all the time you take to create this blog and share what you know – since becoming a reader here, I’ve learned to make alt milk, yogurt, cook easy vegan dinners, and all sorts of things. I’m drinking a smoothie with a calcium/magnesium/zinc vitamin ground up to “fortify” it – per your great idea. Thank you again!

Oof, I totally hear you. It can be really tough to express your own beliefs, while not “demonizing” others, when you’re trying to use age-appropriate language for children.

I think a great approach is the “everyone is unique” comparative method. Like, “some people go to churches, some people go to synagogues, some people go to mosques” . . . “some people have a mommy and daddy, some people have just a mommy, some people have two daddies” . . . “some people don’t eat pork (religious), some people don’t eat gluten (allergy), some people don’t eat any animals (ethical)”, and then follow with a gentle explanation of why *you* choose not to eat animals.

I know, probably easier said than done. You have my sympathies!

I’ve totally been coloring without Waits, haha. Definitely fun for grown-ups, if you did want to buy one just for you! =D
