As has become the tradition, this is Useful Links for Parents Saturdays. Let’s face it, we only have so much time to spend on something as frivolous as surfing the net. We need to make it count. In this weekly post, I feature articles I came across that I think will be of value to you. Enjoy!

Useful Links for Parents
- The first link today may not fall exactly in the category of useful but it’s definitely worth watching (in my humble opinion). I’m sending you over to BeckyHiggins.com because one of my videos is featured there. Every year, Becky hosts a contest titled: 12 Videos of Christmas. My husband and I submitted a time lapse video we did when I was pregnant and we won a spot! It’s exciting!
- I was over at MichaelHyatt.com and as per his recommendation watched this video of a Tedx Talk by David Allen. I’m glad I did. I’ve read Getting Things Done by David Allen a few times already. I love his method for organizing your life and being more productive. It’s simple and so effective. As I read his book, I felt validated. I felt understood. In my opinion, it is a must read. After all, we mom need all the help we can to keep our sanity.
- What to do with bad paintings is an interesting article I found at SimpleMom.net. I like the author’s idea. I would transform a bad painting into a big framed Chalk Board. Our single panel home does not have smooth walls and it’s not as big a commitment to hang a frame than it is to paint an entire wall with chalk board paint.
Hope you are having a fabulous weekend!
