Weekly Round Up: Sister in Town

Photo credit:  la_cola

My sister is in town for a cat show this weekend. She came last night and it was good to relax and catch up with her. She’s a full-time student and works full time, leaving her very little free time. We’re going out to dinner tonight and I’m looking forward to some great tiramisu. 

Posts this week

I decided to pick articles that had practical advice for either myself or my family. Sometimes I pick articles for the roundups based on comments from readers or following forums. I basically wanted to get 10 posts I could send to my loved ones( and myself) in an email, telling them this would help a specific problem. 

It’s hard to choose articles because there are some fantastic posts out there, but I highlight 10 because it’s to scan and see which one would be interesting to read. Please let me know which article you enjoyed.
