ParentHacks…

There was a great post on PH I read today re making easter egg shaped sidewalk chalk using plastic eggs, and they mentioned they had a widget for their blog now. Just playin' with it…

ParentHacks is just one of the parenting blog I keep up with via Bloglines, though the majority are design (love design*sponge) and crafty blogs. And the occasional gossipy fashion site.

Wish vox was compatible with performancing firefox plugin.

I am a sxsw widow this week, but the toddler went down easy and fairly early tonight, huzzah!
