Sunday Surf: Nurse-ins and humor

Welcome to the Sunday Surf, a tour of the best blogposts I've read throughout the week.

It's been nice to have a little time off for the holidays. Hope you've enjoyed the end of 2012 and the start of 2013!

Our good camera died Christmas Eve, but here are a couple cell phone pics from Christmas morning:

Carnival news:

Submissions for the January Carnival of Natural Parenting on the timely topic of Recovering From the Holidays are due this Tuesday, Jan. 8:

Calling for submissions for the January Carnival of Natural Parenting!
Theme: Recovering From the Holidays: Whatever holidays you celebrate in the fall and winter, they can take their toll on our mental health, house upkeep, and budget with travel, gift-making/buying/giving, and related stress. What stories or tips can you share about recovering from the holidays?
Because we moved it off a week, we'll be taking off February. Our full topic schedule through the summer is here:
