Friday Favorites

Happy Friday!
I don’t know where the week went! I didn’t get as much reading done around the blogosphere – so I think I probably missed some good posts. This is what I have to share though:
Warm weather and kids
For many of us, summer is here and many kids are going swimming to cool off. Its fun but can also be dangerous. Char gives us 10 Tips to Swimming Pool Safety in Summer Swim Safety Tips
Shannon Hutton shares some tips to effectively handle Sibling Rivalry
Relax and Look Around You
I’ve noticed that many people pass by in a hurry and don’t see the little things going on around them – butterflies laying eggs, birds flitting around – Judy reminded us this week about Finding Beauty in Strange Places. Look around, bring your camera and see what you can find.
Heart Health
Ruth had a couple good posts this week about fats and heart health: Meet the Fats and Protect Your Heart and Omega Fatty Acids Lower Levels of Oxidative and Nitrosative Stress
Work and Value
Crystal had a good post this week about “The Value of Value: Snippets On Pricing Our Services” – make sure you know what your work is worth!
A Resignation
The resignation of Susan Orr was written about quite a lot this week: (Why) Did Susan Orr Resign from Population Affairs Post? and Dr. Orr Resigns.

Have a great weekend!

Hi Trisha,
Thank you for the reminder to ‘Relax & Look Around You’ & the link to Judy’s post.
Quite often our busy lives have us rushing from one appointment to the next… never taking time to look around & enjoy the simple pleasure in life.
I was lucky on my day off this morning to enjoy a walk along the Dee Why beachfront with a friend. A few spots of rain didn’t deter us & with the wild weather we’ve been having the ocean was wilder than usual.

I think butterfly gardening has helped me with noticing the small things in life, things I didn’t notice before. And that in turn helps me to relax.
