Fab Five Fridays - November 12th

We’ve scoured the Internet to find the stuff we loved, laughed and OMG’d about this week. Check out our picks:

We just loved this thoughtful post at My Brown Baby reflecting on body image issues for young girls and what happens when one mom goes “Mama Bear” after the coach tells her daughter she should be “more fit.” Stand back!

This could be the yummiest apple pie recipe yet! Brown Butter Apple Pie over at Jennies Kitchen. 

News flash! Ricki Lake debuts a new blog over at Momformation. As a single mom of  two boys, aged 13 and 9, the former talk show queen and creator of the amazing documentary, The Business of Being Born, we can’t help but wonder if her motherhood tales of raising her boys will be as dramatic as the guests were on her old show.  One can only hope! 

Nothing warms our heart more than spontaneous family fun. And when a boy decides to turn a large beverage tub into a boat for the swimming pool, well…. See what happens for yourself over at Our Crazy Boys. 

We’re gearing up for holiday shopping angst too and making a list of the things we swear we won’t do last-minute this year. Yeah right!  We loved Busy Moms funny take on it.
