Super easy and yummy! This is a recipe I have seen all over Pinterest lately.
1 pkg crescent rolls
pepperoni slices
4 low fat string cheese sticks
pizza sauce
garlic powder
oregano
Unroll the crescent rolls. Put as man slices of pepperoni as you want and 1/2 a stick of string cheese on each and roll up. Close the sides using your fingers. Sprinkle the top with a little bit of garlic powder and oregano. Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes.
The rolls should be golden brown and the cheese should be melted. Dip in pizza sauce.

Are you mom enough? Really Time? This is the new cover of Time Magazine.
Of course images of a woman breastfeeding always spark controversy. But that kid is 3 years old! I"ve always been of the opinion that breastfeeding should be for the first year.
I myself had bad luck with breastfeeding. Big Brother couldn't figure it out no matter what ingenious tricks we tried so he was feed breast milk from a bottle until my supply dried up, which didn't take long.
Little Brother did great, but I had to have my gallbladder out when he was 6 months old. I couldn't keep my supply up enough after surgery but we were able to make it until he could have milk instead of formula.
What makes me angry about this cover is the question, "Are you mom enough?" implying that if we aren't breastfeeding out kids until they start going to public school, we have in some way failed.
As if moms need more pressure and more to worry about.
What is your reaction to the cover? Would you breastfeed a 3 year old?

Nuns tweet. Apparently. As soon as I heard about this I had to find out.
After an interesting discussion in my office which ended with the formation of a business to help nuns and priests with their social media endeavors, appropriately called Connected Clergy, I set out to become the foremost expert on nun tweets.
After all, as Leslie (a girl in my office) says, someday someone will want to write a thesis on the social media activities of the clergy.
As I began my research, I was frankly astounded by the sheer number of nuns on Twitter. In fact, there is even a hash tag #WhatSistersMeanToMe for how nuns have made a difference in your life.
(This is the part where I show how ignorant I am about nuns in general.)
I have always pictured nuns as being like this…
What I discovered is that Nuns are really more like
Even more surprising, the Vatican WANTS nuns to tweet. According to USA Today, "The Vatican wants the powerful women's voices to stress the Catholic vision for marriage and sexuality and to spend more time campaigning against abortion, gay marriage and women's ordination."
So what do nuns tweet about?
Good books
Complaints – albeit MUCH nicer than most
Inspiration
Poems
Prayers
Current Events
And limes
Nuns even blog. I'm loving The Awkward Catholic. It's extremely enlightening (no nun pun intended).
And give shout outs
I'm starting to think that nuns are WAY cooler than we are led to believe.

On Big Brother's Birthday
BB: Since I'm 7 now it won't be long until I'm 8, then 9 then 10, then 11, then 12.
Me: I'm glad you aren't 12 yet!
The Daddy: (laughing) When you are 12 are you going to get a job and start helping pay the bills?
BB: (sighs) I'm gonna have to.

On picking Big Brother up from school yesterday
BB: I went out to the football field today. Its usually deserted but there was a crowd of kids being mean to Walker.
Me: Maybe you shouldn't go out there then.
BB: Yeah, I'm like Amy from 39 Clues. I'm not used to crowds.
Me: (heart melted at my son's first literary reference)

Its that time of year again. I always dread end of the year teacher gifts. What can you give them that they don't already have a million of? Here are some great ideas I found for teacher gifts on Pinterest.
And of course, never underestimate the value of gift cards!
