Links of the week

You know what's worse than being sick? Getting sicker. You know what's worse than getting sicker? Getting your husband sick. You know what's worse than getting your husband sick? Getting your baby sick. You know what's worse than getting your husband and baby sick? Having to clean old turnip green juice off of your foot 3 times! Three times! Okay, so maybe that's not worse than getting your baby sick, but it's pretty bad.

Anyway, I intended to start this series earlier in the week but sickness took over. Some of you may be familiar with Google Reader and the recent changes they implemented, so you know that you can no longer share blog posts with your friends through Reader. I loved this feature, now they want you to share through Google+. I think it's just to try and get more people to join +, since it hasn't really caught on like they hoped. So, since I can't share posts I like with you through Google Reader anymore, I'll be sharing them in a weekly post such as this. Let me know what you think, and if you have your own blog and share links weekly feel free to comment with the link to that post.

• Tsh at Simple Mom posted some tips on planning a peaceful Christmas. She writes about prioritizing what you want to do as a family, budgets, and making sure that your plans aren't so hectic that you're not having fun.
• Here is a good post on wanting more (attention, acknowledgement, etc) and how we already have "enough".
• This LifeHacker post is about honey and why you should buy local (hint: it's so you actually get honey). We always buy local honey, how about you?
• I just think this post from the "Cool Parents" is neat, I would love to have a random run-in with a reader that I didn't know. I would also love to live in New York, then maybe my blog would be cooler and more people would read it. All the best bloggers live in NY.
• I've been wanting to DIY some Christmas stockings for our little family. Right now we don't have stockings at all. Here is a Babble post with a lot of great DIY Christmas stocking ideas. I also have some on my Christmas pinboard.

What have you enjoyed reading this week?

Oh, you know what else is terrible? Husband and I managed to eat 23 muffins in 6 days. Yeah.
