Week in Review

I've posted a whole bunch this week, and maybe you've missed something. Especially with how Facebook has changed, I'm not sure people are seeing things the way they used to. So here's a list of what's been going down on MichiGal this week:

• 99%  Maybe you've been following the Occupy Wall Street movement that's sweeping the nation. This post covers just a little of my personal experience being part of the 99%.
• The Dilemma of the 1950's Bathroom  We have one of those lovely, original 1950's bathrooms that are sometimes kind of tricky to work with. Do you have decorating tricks for these dated lavatories? 
• Weekend Rundown  I know you're all dying to know what I did last weekend, since I have such an exciting life and all!
• Meatless Monday! #4 (Finally)  At long last I posted about our fourth week of dinners using Harmony Valley vegetarian meat substitutes.
• Sweet Resources for Spectacular Freebies  If you like to get freebies, then you really don't want to miss this post. I get some pretty awesome stuff, if I do say so myself, and I'm sharing my resources.
• Games Kids Play  This post is about how much fun it is to watch my kids play together, especially without the benefit of electronic devices.
• So What! Wednesday  I linked up with Shannon at Life After I Dew once again. Play along and say So What!
• Playroom Pizazz  I'm looking for some playroom inspiration.
• Thursday Thankful Round-Up  I try to be mindful of my blessings every single day, but I only bore you with them once a week.
• WEN by Chaz Dean  I really dig this cleansing conditioner that I got to try from Influenster.
• Johnsonville House Party  I recently hosted a House Party, sponsored by Johnsonville Italian Sausage, and it was way fun.
• Smoke Out  Let me tell you what I really think: I hate being around smoke.
• Flashback Friday: Sick Days  When I was a kid, sick days meant being bored out of my skull. Not so anymore.

So go on and check out anything you missed! And feel free to comment lots and share anything you like!
