Things I learn from, part the first.

Here is the beginning of a list of things I have enjoyed learning from in the past year...

AskMoxie - (Parenting - esp small children) She's kind of taken a turn to discussing more parents-as-people topics, which I can get on board with, but what really helped me tons is her archives. The Q&A, with the truly helpful multi-perspectived commenters. Great parenting resource, especially for when you are looking for new approaches.

Shark Tacos - (Religion) I went through a patch with my previous church where they just weren't addressing the things I was working through. I didn't realize how disillusioned I was becoming until I read some of the stuff on this blog and found myself in tears regaining some perspective. I'm still sorting through some big questions, but I love the generous Christlike viewpoint I find here, especially in some of the longer articles you'll find linked in the sidebar.

Crockpot! - (Food) In my heart, I used to mock people who used their crockpots. I pretty much thought it was for soup, and the dreaded beef stew. I love Stephanie, because she makes things that I like (like korean ribs! or falafel!) possible to make in the morning, so when the toddler witching hour comes, I can still have food on the table in time. I can go pretty much anywhere on the internet to find recipes, but this site elevates slow cooker to an art form.

more later:)
