Last weekend Karis spent the night at Grandma and Grandpa’s, which left me the opportunity to do something fun with just the older kids. They’ve been begging to go to the skate park but Karis is a bit too young, so it seemed like the perfect day to venture out with the big kids. Blue Diamond Almonds sent me a snack pack for our day, and once again my children ate through most of it the minute I opened the box.

Weekend Finds
Our kids still have another week of school, so it doesn’t quite feel like summer has started in our house. I’m still stocking up on summer supplies in an effort to keep our sanity as I’ve got four kids home all summer. I’ve stumbled onto some great deals this week and thought I would share. First up, it’s the Tea Collection semi-annual sale! Oh Tea Collection . . . I can’t quit you. I am a huge fan of Zulily. It’s a flash sale site and it can be hit or miss, but sometimes . . .

Why I dyed my daughter’s hair blue (and other assorted tales)
I’ve been writing quite a bit over at Babble and thought I would link up to a few of my posts there. Why I Dyed my Daughter’s Hair Blue (and other adventures in saying yes).

Questions of eternal significance: do you re-read books you’ve already finished?
[photo credit] Some friends and I were talking about books the other day, and I mentioned that I never keep the books I’ve already read. I read a lot and have a habit of buying too many books, so my shelves are already filled with things I want to read. I really don’t have space for the things I’ve already read. So as soon as I finish a book, I pass it on. Very, very rarely do I keep a book. I like to set them out into the world for others to enjoy. I’m storing up my literary karma. Anyway, my . . .
So Totally Relidge: The morning after pill, abortion, birth control accessibility for minors, and a minefield of ethical questions
In this episode of So Totally Relidge, Elizabeth Esther and I are discussing the new law that lowered the age of accessibility for the Plan B pill to 14. It sparked some really interesting debate (as you will see, Elizabeth and I have VERY different opinions). The conversation left me thinking for days – I think it’s my favorite episode yet. We explored the accusation that Plan B is an abortion pill, we talked about whether or not we feel birth control should be offered to minors, and we . . .
That’s what SHE said: dad’s sexual fantasies, biracial cheerios, a nation of wimps, and more . . .
Stay-at-home Dad sexual fantasies: Why I’d like to stop. | Slate I assume that my “condition” is perfectly normal, because many friends I’ve consulted have admitted that they, too, might have graphic daydreams about a woman they saw for five seconds at a traffic light. And indeed, the academic research on the subject corroborates my informal polling. But I couldn’t get over the cognitive dissonance of the whole situation. How could enlightened, feminist guys like myself put up with these . . .
