What are Yoga Joes and why do you need them? These are the big questions in this weeks Links We Learned From. Links We Learned From in March Brianna and I are readers - readers of books, readers of articles, readers of blogs etc. We read.

Who says it's always on us, as the parent/caregiver, to plan our family activities? Using the Getting Things Done principle 'Make it up and make it happen' we can let our kids take the reigns. So read this article, grab a stack of index cards and make it happen! Risque RieslingOnce again into the stock photo archives, dear friends, once again.
