Weekly Favorites 8-29

(Almost) everyday, I share stories I found and liked on the Internet via  Facebook, Twitter and Flipboard, the topics ranging from Cats to Bilingualism to Language to Music to Parenting and more. Here are those stories in a more convenient weekly roundup form for you. Starting this week, I'll include children's books that both Little Guy and I liked too. Hope you'll find something that interests you. If you liked these stories don't forget to follow me via one (or more!) of the social media sites above to get notified as soon as I share them:
