This year I’m going to try and start a new habit, and that is to post up my favourite reads of the week on a Sunday. They may not necessarily have been published that week, but my eyes must have first seen them then. You’re welcome to join in too! What’s been your favourites? Leave a comment or email me and let me know!

This week will be a touch on the short side, as I haven’t been around to read the Internet!

And so in no particular order:

The 2009 Bloggie nominations are open, as are the 2009 Bloggers Choice Awards ones. I’m not going to beg for a nomination this year (although that would be really dandy). I will play it cool and be above all competition. I will be the blogging equivalent to Woody Allen.

A recent New Yorker article about Naomi Klein and the recent financial crisis

A bolstering, affirming post on blogging and authenticity

BHJ really is one of the best parenting/life bloggers I’ve discovered over the past year

And right now you’re asking yourself if this is yet another stop-gap post to avoid talking about what real news and general family madness is going on?

Why, yes. It is.
