Many Little Links: The Back to Cold Weather Edition

After my first full day back at home after vacation, I can't quite decide which is worse -- having a cold and snowy day, or having just been walking around outside in a swimsuit a few days ago and then having a cold and snowy day.

Either way -- I am still dreadfully behind in everything I need to do -- inboxes are full, I have to go back to seeing kids for therapy tomorrow, and I'm still kind of in vacation mode, I fear.

So, for now, I'll just share some links that I have enjoyed over the last two weeks:
