Weekend links

With the exception of Levi’s birthday on Thursday, this has been a particularly challenging week. Our best friends moved away, and I have been on my own with Levi for approximately 14 hours every day because JB has had night classes for his master’s degree. The house is a mess, and we’re still not unpacked from our trip last weekend.

Normally, Saturday brings with it relief from the stresses of the past week, but not today. JB will be in class all day and half of tomorrow. Solo parenting is exhausting–plus, I miss my husband!

Here’s hoping your weekend is more relaxing than mine! When you have a few minutes to sit back and put your feet up, you may want to check out these interesting articles from around the web:

• Are we raising “good” kids?
• Now I don’t feel guilty about not responding to every email in my inbox
• Confession: I love to binge-watch my favorite TV shows, do you?
• Why are American kids so spoiled?
• Are we all going iCrazy?
