Sunday Surf: My Favorite Blog Posts of the Week (Link up your favorite post too!)

We're back from a wonderful four day trip to Cape Cod where we had lots of beach and pool time, delicious outdoor meals, and some fun firsts like Baby's first lick of ice cream and first time riding a carousel. I hope all of my Canadian friends had a very Happy Canada Day and that my American friends are enjoying this lovely weekend of the 4th!
In between your celebrations, I hope you'll have time to check out a few of my favorite links from the week:
Finally by Green and Clean Mom - Sommer wrote a book called "My Mommy is a Blogger!" - I can't wait to read this!

No, She Can't Count to Ten by Amanda at Let's Take the Metro. I love this post because Amanda expresses my feelings exactly about children's "milestones."
