Top Tweets of the Week (August 27, 2012)

Hello and welcome to this week’s edition of Tweet Beat. I’m sure you’re anxiously awaiting some wise words via tweets, so let’s get started. This week we’re focusing on food, gender, and a few more things along the way.

This was one of the most informative helpful posts I’ve ever read; an excellent subject and incredible comments! Amazing advice and ideas from so many different people. Thank you for spurring an important conversation for the photo-obsessed among us.

 I personally bow down to anyone who can convince kids that food that is good for them is also actually good. And what a fun video with Tristin and Tyler.

I relate. This is a real thing that happens sometimes.

I’ve loved Girls Write Now’s mission for a long time, so imagine my delight to find out we were teaming up with them to write about how important it is to be a mentor. Make sure to check out the article in our September issue (or just read it online).

On August 13, the award for “Luckiest Mom” went to Carol Cain! But now I’m curious: What was the late breakfast? I could go for an egg and cheese sandwich right about now…

  This is possibly the cutest photo ever. Does anyone disagree? HOW CAN YOU DISAGREE?

I loved this piece by Deb Roxwhich implores us to “talk, read, inquire and think together on gender.” Kudos to Babble for publishing such a thoughtful essay on a complex topic.

And speaking of gender, Harrods has made some changes in its toy store. What do you — or more importantly, your kids — think about this shift?

Two words: ME. TOO.

What an adorable family! With Labor Day just around the corner, summer really is coming to an end…can you believe it? Soak up the rays while you can, because soon we’ll all be in wool sweaters, carrying book bags and sipping pumpkin chai lattes. I can’t say I’m not looking forward to the fall season, because of course I am…but I’d like to make the most of these warm carefree days while I can. I hope you and your family do the same.
