Family Living Links – The All Things Family Carnival

A group of friends and I started a blog carnival recently to support each other and additional creative bloggers out there. This week the theme was supposed to be cooking with kids – but instead the submissions were all over the board.

I think spring fever does that to folks.

So here’s a good roundup of family living links – enjoy!
(And feel free to submit your own links the next time around – nothing’s better than link love!)
