  Finally, someone has calculated just how much money you save if you turn lights and electronics off and the thermostat down before you go to bed every night. Not surprisingly, that someone is Trent.
• urbanMamas: Feeding your child for weight gain
  My daughter barely made the growth curve for years. A nutritionist once suggested I feed her Cheetos to boost her calories. Really? I prefer the gold mine of healthy food suggestions in the comments of this post.
• Boston Mamas: Easy, Creamy Mac & Cheese

• Savvy Parenting : Planning Your Year
  It's too easy, while in the tranches of parenthood, to focus on getting through each day while letting a year slip by. Try to set aside a little time to think about the year ahead: what do you and your kids look forward to? What do you hope for? No need for iron-clad lists...just a little mindful attention to where you hope to go this year, literally and/or spiritually.
• Not Martha — links: Valentine’s Day
  I can always count on Megan to find great crafty links. Fun, festive Valentine stuff.
