It feels like this week has been busier than normal. With Spring Break, Easter, and Passover activities on top of our already busy schedules, you may have missed some of the great posts happening on our Sister Sites. Here is a sample of what we saw this week:
I love hand written notes. There is just something about getting a hand written note in the mail! Unfortunately, I just don’t send them nearly as much as I should. However, once a month, I send a personalized note to my grandmother. I was so excited to find some very fun Spring-themed recycled note cards on 5 Minutes for Going Green this week! As Earth Day approaches at the end of this month, head on over to 5 Minutes for Going Green to find more recycled products and ways you can recycle your own products!
Have you ever been in to see the doctor when, all of a sudden, a flock of students wearing white doctor coats walk in? If you have, you know that it can be quite awkward at times. Deborah takes us through her, and her daughter’s, experience at a teaching hospital this week at 5 Minutes for Special Needs! The Doctor Will See You Now is definitely a must read!
As we prepare to celebrate Easter this weekend, there are so many different emotions and activities to get caught up in. However, don’t forget the reason for which we celebrate this holiday. Angela reminds us of these reasons in a beautiful reflection at 5 Minutes for Faith. I love how Angela describes the transformation the cross underwent so many years ago as she writes The Wonderous Cross.
Dawn, at 5 Minutes for Books, gave me a great idea for family night this week! Pizza night! We love pizza at our house, as I’m sure most of you do, but now we get to combine our favorite food with a great book! This week Dawn reviewed Tony and the Pizza Champions and it sounds absolutely delightful…and delicious!
It only takes a few seconds. A few seconds that could change your life. Could save your life! As you get ready to travel this weekend for Easter or this next week for Spring Break, take just a few minutes to first head over to 5 Minutes for Parenting and read DeeDee‘s story about buckling up! Tightening Your Belt will hopefully remind you that it only takes a few seconds….
