Readers Recommend: The ‘gift I gave myself’ edition

What have you read this week that has helped you, inspired you or just given you that giggle you needed to read?

This week, I am embarrassed to admit it,  but I remembered why I need to clear the clutter in my kitchen after reading 3 Gifts to Give Yourself on Mother’s Day at Life as Mom. The mail, papers, Lego bricks, crayons and other random items had been piling up and, at the same time, I was walking around feeling like a failure in so many other areas so I kept putting off the tidying, thinking I would get to it later.

FishMama’s post helped me to put two and two together and inspired me to take some action. And now I’m feeling much better in quite a few ways.This is not a ‘how to de-clutter’ post, by the way, so don’t go there looking for cleaning tips. Look there for life tips.

I can’t recommend enough that you swing by and check out her post  if you are feeling a tad overwhelmed in the job of mom.

What about you? What have you found on the ‘net recently that has made an impact on you? There are so many fantastic posts out there and I am hoping this will help me to find even more of them with your help.
