Speed Linking: July 27
Kate
I feel like I've been in information overload lately.  There are so many great blogs and web pages and lots of wonderful people.  I'll find one great link that leads me to a dozen more.  Here are some nifty things I've found lately:
  • I've always wanted to make petit fours, and I've bookmarked Bakerella's post, with its beautiful photos and a delicious-looking recipe for cream cheese pound cake.
  • Cooking During Stolen Moments has some great recipes (check out her top 10 chicken recipes).  I also love her cooking method: Use those little moments throughout the day to prepare dinner so there's no need to panic at 5:00.
  • Looking to create good habits or quit bad ones? My Bad Habits is an interesting blog by a psychology professor all about the science behind habits.
  • Check out Alyssa Avant's webpages: Beauty by Design Online, and Life From My Laptop.  She's a Christian writer and speaker, and I've really been enjoying her blog.  I've also been following her on Twitter (@alyssaavant), and she's always gracious, even when I ask her lots of questions. =)
  • Have you seen Homeschool Freebie of the Day?  Every weekday, they offer a new homeschool-related download for free.  If you sign up for their e-mail newsletter, you'll also get a subscribers-only freebie each week.

Speed Linking: Free Stuff, Cheap Stuff, & Health Stuff
Kate
Future Christian Homemakers- Their handbook, subtitled, "Teaching Girls to Become Successful Homemakers," can be downloaded for free.  Maybe it can teach me to become a successful homemaker!

Real Simple Magazine- Did you know you could get a 1-year subscription to Real Simple for only $5?  I don't know if this is Amazon's regular price or some sort of promotion, but it's a fantastic deal!

When is a Cookie Not a Cookie- This thought-provoking article from It's Not About Nutrition gives a different take on "healthy" sweets.

The Healthy and Fit Algorithm- Leo at Zen Habits gets right to the point with some basic tips on eating right and exercising.

Three Paths to Fitness- Can you do 100 pushups?  How about 200 sit-ups and squats?  No?  Me neither.  But Get Fit Slowly has links to three programs that can help you get there.  I'm working on the pushups, though I freely admit having to do girly pushups on my knees.

Speed Linking: A Little of This, A Little of That
Kate

There is a LOT of great information on the Internet, and one of these days I'll actually organize my bookmarks.  For now, here are some things that have caught my eye lately:

In the Kitchen

  • These chocolate yogurt snack cakes at Smitten Kitchen look so good I almost licked my computer screen.  Plus, they have yogurt in them, so they must be healthy, right?

Craft Time

  • Okay, I don't know how to knit anything that isn't rectangular, but Alana at Never Not Knitting makes the most adorable projects!

On Homekeeping

One of My Favorites

  • A young Israeli housewife shares her thoughts on marriage, mothering, and homemaking at Domestic Felicity.  I always look forward to what she has to say.

Our Relationship with Christ

  • What is the difference between living for God and living for anything else?  An interesting book review got me thinking.
