This is becoming (again) a regularly-occurring blog post, so I decided to add the above image to help set it off when it does appear. I will try to post these on Saturdays, but last week got a little out of hand and I had to wait until today to post my YouTube likes.

I have received some feedback that these posts are helpful and fun. I can’t imagine how many YouTube videos I see in a given week, but when I “like” them, they will often fall into these weekly blog posts. If you’ve benefited even slightly from this or previous “YouTube likes” posts, would you take a second to let me know? Or better yet, share this post (it’s pretty simple to share using the buttons at the bottom of this post). Thanks!

10 Parenting Hacks, the first one is worth the price of admission alone:

The history (‘etymology’ for you fancy-word people) of the word “okay”.

How water gets recycled on the International Space Station (yes, what you think they do with body fluids actually does happen):

A very capable toddler telling her Daddy to “worry about yourself“:

Street-musician playing a “hang drum” (I already searched for a DIY tutorial on building my own – seems it’s MUCH more difficult than you’d imagine):

The future of in-home gaming and entertainment is IllumiRoom:

In-Car-technology is getting better and better, but this is just incredible to think about – headlights that ‘erase’ rain drops:

Finally, here’s why you don’t win at Carnival games:

We recently bought bunk beds for Ezra’s room. The available mattress at K-Mart was little more than a couple-thicknesses of carpet padding. It was disgusting. We priced mattresses in town and out of town and also on Amazon.com.

Yes, Amazon. Crazy! We bought one after reading several positive reviews and when it arrived we were blown away at its quality and comfort! Just this week we bought a second-one for the top-bunk of the bunk beds!

This time I had Jess shoot a video of me opening the vacuum-sealed mattress because it is SO COOL!
