Surfin’ Saturday- Feb 26, 2011

On Surfin’ Saturday, I share links from around the web. It’s not always food related and not always blogs. It’s anything I find inspiring or helpful for any part of life.

Home Organization

• Spunky Junky has an ingenious ribbon organizer.
• Organizing Junkie has a great guest post on Organizing Solutions to Grow With Your Child. Some really neat ideas here.

Parenting

• Inspired to Action has a post about being a more patient mom. I find what what she is saying is so true, but I find that it’s not just fluid intake that is critical for me, it’s also food. I’m less patient when I’m not eating the volume of food I should be. And, instead of water, I need nettles/RRL infusions and kefirs. I definitely don’t feel good if I don’t have a quart of nettles infusion a day.
• Apology is a lovely perfume is a good reminder in dealing with your children in your most stressful moments.

Food

• The Coconut Mama has homemade coconut butter using shredded coconut. Looks good, and gobs cheaper than the coconut butters on the market! Her blog has some great info, take a look around and add her to your RSS feed.
• Fire and Salt has a good tutorial on making your own corn tortillas at home.
• Here’s a really good list of gluten-free baking tips from Cook IT AllergyFree.

Arts and Crafts

• I’ve got a ton of extra egg cartons laying around. Since we have chickens, many people bring their egg cartons over to us. Life Your Way has a neat post on nine crafts to do with egg cartons.
