Turn your Instagram Photos Into Magnets, Mommies With Style. I really want to do this, but magnets on my new stainless steel refrigerator (is it really? it’s magnetic.) leave a rusty mark.

Books About Zelda Fitzgerald, Great Thoughts. If you’re going to see The Great Gatsby, you might want to check these out. And have I told you how much I hate it when a movie comes out about an old book and then everyone wants to read the old book all at the same time? I hate that. I also hate that I want to read it again too. I really dislike following the crowd.

New Eyes, The Handmade Home. Good read.

AWBU 2013 Keynote Speaker, Arkansas Women Bloggers. This year I’m attending the Arkansas Women Bloggers Conference and Boomama is going to be the keynote speaker. I’m so excited to get to meet her. Have you heard about her new book? You can read the first chapter here.

I’ll also be attending the Bean2Blog event at the home of P. Allen Smith at Moss Mountain Farm. I’m excited about meeting so many other Arkansas bloggers and seeing his beautiful farm.

For your Memorial Day

I watched last night’s episode of Mad Men, The Other Woman, 3 times. I have a lot to say about it, but Tom + Lorenzo always says it better and often says so many things that are already going through my mind.

A new blog I’m enjoying: Hollywood Housewife. Check her out.

I linked to it on AFP’s Facebook page, but just in case you missed it I wrote a cross-over post on my photography blog: You are here.

I’ve found these people on Instagram and I’m in love with their iPhone shots:

Instagram handle: Confetti – Catching Confetti the blog.

Instagram handle: kristinrogers – Little House Homeschooling the blog.

Instagram handle: saraparsons – Sara Parsons blog

What’s new in your corner of the Internet?

25 of the best Brene Brown quotes from The Pioneer Woman Homeschooling. I heard her speak at Blissdom and she is a great speaker.

Solar Eclipse Over America from Classical Astronomy. Get ready!

Balance vs Margin from The Tiny Twig. My life is never balanced, but I always try to have a good bit of margin in my life. Nothing makes me happier than seeing a wide-open day on my calendar when I do not have to go anywhere. If I have every moment filled there’s no time to stop and visit a friend, to make a spontaneous trip to the park, or have an urge to clean out a closet and do it!

What Running Has Given Me from Eclectic Whatnot. This post made me sort of, almost, just about believe that running does actually make you feel good. I’m still in the I don’t think I can make it one more inch and oh do I have to bend my knees the next morning phase. I’m not sure I’ll ever get where she is, but I’d like to.
