The thing I love about Pinterest is the plethora of links to great DIY ideas, to funny or thought-provoking articles, to fashion and food, and to other people’s blogs. It is great to sit down for a few hours (or half the day) and click on link after link after link, and discover new things, new ideas, and new people. In the spirit of sharing, here are the link I love this month. If you’re like me, you love bath bombs, like the ones sold by LUSH. But did you know you can make them yourself?

For My Dad…
Dear Dad, There are some people who say that a girl’s first love is her father. I have to agree with them. I love you beyond measure. I could probably count on one hand the number of times that I know of that I disappointed you. You never showed any anger towards me or Tim, or to Mom that I can recall.
