Saturday Round-Up (September 24)

It was a good week. Maybe that's because I only had to work 4 days. Maybe that's because my in-laws are in town (free meals!). And maybe it's because it's my daughter's birthday weekend (see tomorrow's post). And there were a slew of good articles (and 2 videos) I came across. Here they are, this time in order of how much I liked them. I think you'll like one or more, too.

How Devoted Moms Buffer Kids in Poverty.  A good mom can make all the difference.

I Used to Think (Rap). "I was a wealthy man if I had one or two bucks."
