Even though the site's owner tends to frown on non-factual Q&A's, in my opinion Ask Metafilter is at its best when it has more chatty/big-picture/experiential questions such as the recent one asking for stories about things that fathers did to build strong relationships with their daughters. Some good tips there for any parent with children […]
Shea and I whipped into Toronto today to attend the Baby and Toddler Show this afternoon. A bit disappointing in terms of the number of exhibitors but this is probably a case of us being really early in the pregnancy mixed with the fact that they weren't giving out free books like the last time […]
The Bookshelf Project is a Flickr group dedicated to photos of people’s bookshelves.
