The Picky Apple is a perfect pick for my spotlight this week as most kids are now packing apples and heading off to school, or into their school rooms at home. I love apples and you will see that these cute “picky” apples won’t be the only ones on the blog this week. But back to this blog, Cara is a mom and former attorney who chronicles her creative side in this awesome blog. I love the balance she seems to have between having fun with her adorable son, making tasty food and her home more beautiful with her own craftiness. If you haven’t checked this blog out yet, you should!

I hope this blog isn’t a new one for you , the writer Katy is a well loved contributing writer here at No Time For Flash Cards, but I am spotlighting her because her awesome blog has a whole new look ( and url too!) .  Katy writes about daily life, motherhood and education.  More specifically  though she writes about the unique experiences of mothering and teaching  her son who has special needs. Do not miss her thematic units. She is frank , she is funny and she is authentic. More than one of her posts has made me laugh while tearing up too.  What more could you ask for? Check it out .

It’s that time again! Did you write something really awesome this week? Share a craft or recipe that was simply amazing? Well share it one more time for all my readers to read too! All you have to do is link up and share.

This week is World Breastfeeding Week so it’s perfectly fitting that I spotlight Best For Babes a wonderful resource , support and advocacy for nursing moms and babies. I love their attitude , their focus on “Booby traps” , the barriers to breastfeeding success so many women face and they have an awesome facebook page and community. I’m keeping it short today as I am typing one handed due to very appropriately nursing my daughter. Go check them out!
