C'est le Weekend: Links for the New Year
It's been months since I last shared some weekend links, mostly because I avoid posting content unless I think you'll find it relevant or insightful, and I just hadn't come across many good articles online. But with the New Year, there's a lot of fresh, motivational content out there--content about recipes, parenting, humor, and bilingualism, so read on!
Happy New Year in Sydney by Loïc Lagarde
Appetizer Links (Lighthearted):
- For my Francophone friends: 15 Signs That Show You're Becoming French from The Alliance Français of Washington, D.C. A humorous article if you can read it in French!
- 16 Weeks of Lightened Up Meals from How Sweet It Is. I don't believe in dieting, but we could all use more healthy recipes that taste fantastic. Her mouth-watering photos are a bonus!
Main Course Links (Heavier food for thought):
- Twenty questions for a New Year's Eve Reflection from The Art of Simple: I love Tsh's questions for reflecting on the past year as a family--particularly her questions for kids.
- Passing for a Native Speaker by François Grosjean for Psychology Today: A look at two master spies who managed to pass as native speakers despite living in foreign countries.
- Natural Remedies for Lice from The Mommypotamus. I dread the day that I might need to try one of these solutions on myself or my children, but a mama needs to know these things sometimes!
Dessert Links (Sweetness):
- Why Having More Babies Isn't As Crazy As You May Think from Loving My Lot. Jeanne writes with honesty and insight. Her blog posts often touch my heart, and I loved this one.
“That’s the funny thing about motherhood. You start off with so little on your plate, and it feels like you’re absolutely drowning. And yet the more you add, the more joyful it becomes.”
