It's been so long since I've done one of these posts, but so much is inspiring me online these days, it's truly overdue. Happy clicking :)

• I've been following this family's adoption journey for over a year now (and her blog for 3 years!) and this morning this post brought me to joyful tears
• A great post by my friend on the importance of doll's for young boys. They teach boys to nurture, something we're severely lacking in society! Want this one for Oli, and suggested it for her boy too :)
