Reading up

At first, I really just wanted to keep these all to myself. But it’s taking up a lot of my browsing time online, it must be shared.

Spinning off from one of my favorite websites, Apartment Therapy is ohdeedoh. If you’re familiar with the Apartment Therapy, you would recognize ohdeedoh as what was formerly known as The Nursery. Ohdedoh’s tagline reads: home. design. children.—which really sums up the website’s thrust quite well. I’ve been thrilled to be receiving feeds on children-friendly and -inspired design (interior, furniture, and others), as well as fun product finds. There are peeks into other parents’ homes and lives, as well as raised concerns that crop up. Let’s just say my virtual scrapbook has suddenly been filling up more than it has been.

Rookie Moms, on the other hand, features activity ideas for new moms. The blog owners themselves are “two geeky girls,” who I think address their own concerns and reflect others’ quite successfully. So far among my favorites are Keep a List of Things You Swore You’d Never Do as a Parent, Talk About Something Besides Sleep, and Jump in the Picture. (Granted, there are more there but I haven’t yet combed through every single entry.)

One of the best things, I have to admit, are the slingks (i.e. surreptitious web links to other good sites). Both sites collate and feature so much good stuff, you can be sure I spend a lot of time clicking on those.
