Why Daycare Was My First Option, Not a Last Resort. Can I just hug this entire article?

Charlotte makes these really fun "What I Eat in a Day" videos. They are so well done, although they make me wish I ate as well as she does. I linked to her YouTube channel above, which has some really great videos from her travels in Europe (where she's from). She's one of my inspirations for making travel videos of my own.
I loved Beka's post about speaking hard truths into other people's lives. It's easy to share about God's goodness, but it's important to realize why we need Jesus and what he is saving us from.
Cassie wrote a post that I loved sharing a letter to her atheist self. As someone who grew up in church and has been a Christian my entire life, it is so interesting to hear from someone who had such a different experience. God really can work miracles in people's lives and I think that's so cool.
31 People Who Are Nailing This Whole Marriage Thing. Some of these had me cracking up! #12 IS MY LIFE. *Please excuse some of the swear words and inappropriate lines.
I've mentioned before that my dad does a podcast. I'm not just saying this because he's my dad, but I really do think he does a good job with it. Just like any podcast there are episodes you like more than others, and two of my recent favorites have been this one talking about creativity and this one talking to a guy who is walking around the world. Check it out if you have a chance!
Happy weekend, friends!
p.s. Links + Loves vol. 1

Love the new look! I'm about to read two of the posts you recommended. Thanks!
That is so cool that your dad has a podcast! I'll definitely be checking out that.
#12 on the marriage list, YES!! Except we never get to negotiate....I whine about being cold, try to change it, and somehow Freddie appears out of nowhere and slaps my hand away.
Love a good Friday link round up! That stroller organizer may be in my future. I can't seem to get the YouTube link to work though-- takes me back to the stroller page. Have a wonderful weekend!
Sorry about that! Here's the link: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-hVWEefD5ag
I think I missed Cassie's! Going to check hers out now. Thanks for the suggestions
can't wait to read the people who are rocking this marriage thing & so cool that your dad has a podcast! i'll have to check one or both of those you linked to out!
also, LOVE the new design!!!!
Love the new look, girl! :) And loving some of these links- the marriage stuff had me cracking up!
Thank you for your kind words, Amanda. I'm glad my videos inspire you to make your own, because I LOVE yours. :) Do you know what I also love? THE NEW LOOK! SO PRETTY! x
I like the new look, but I don't like that the URLs don't stick out from normal text. I had to follow the words with my cursor to find the links. Using Chrome on Windows 7.
I love Beka's post! And those marriage tweets are hilarious.
I agree! I noticed that too on Safari. Trying to figure out how to fix it :)
Should be fixed now! Hopefully it works better for you!
Thank you! It's fun to do something new. It's been the same for a long time!
The marriage tweets are so funny. #12 definitely happens at our house.
Love the new layout!
My husband and I are constantly saying to each other, "The cat, you idiot!" and "I can say pants." Watched it about 50 times now.
That Buzzfeed article is funny, especially the KitKat bar one. ha ha!
I really like that food video but I'd be starving if I ate how she did. I need meat. Also, I never fully understand why people refuse to eat meat to be healthy but then they drink beer? Maybe that's mean of me to say but it is what I think inside.
If my family told me zombies were coming I'd be so mad. I wouldn't believe it because I don't believe in zombies but I probably would believe them if they told me Jesus came and I got left behind.
Love the new design! Also, those marriage tweets **DYING**
CRYING/laughing at the marriage one. I love your blog's new look! So fancy!
Yes to that daycare article being first option, not a last resort. AND to those tweets -- I'm 1000% sure my husband hides chocolate from me all the time!
The daycare article is really interesting! I love that the author doesn't seem to have a chip on her shoulder about why she chose what she did. And I love that she included a message of love for parents who are doing things differently than she did (her reference to "magical children who sit quietly while I work" made me laugh!). It seems like in general people tend to get very defensive of their position (whether it be SAHM, daycare, or nanny) so I liked that the article was so fair. :)
I checked out Charlotte Faraday's Youtube channel and I'm surprised she isn't more popular than she is. What beautiful videos!! Plus she has the name of someone who I would expect to see in a Jane Austen novel. :)
My husband finds the video of the brother's tricking their sister after her wisdom tooth removal to be hilarious. He keeps showing it to everyone, haha!
This is totally unrelated to your blog....sorry. We watched the Cubs/Giants game last night. Is your husband related to the Giants' pitcher, Madison Bumgarner? If so, who were you cheering for? Your beloved Cubs or his beloved cousin? :)
Haha! He is not related (that we know of). But we sure rooted for him in the World Series! Although when he's playing the Cubs, it's the Cubs for sure :)
Lol to the 31 people post. I identify way too much with the one about getting a hotel and falling asleep at 9pm. To my credit, I believe I made it to 10:30 on our last trip. But I did run a half marathon that day!
