* Flavorwire took on the imaginary job of art buyer at Sterling Cooper Draper Price and redecorated the agency's office with famous artwork.  What a great exercise in character development and art history!  What would the cast of Yo Gabba Gabba hang on their walls?  Im thinking Foofa would definitely hang a Georgia O'Keeffe in her land (since she's so into flowers.) Plex would probably be into Space Invader.  What about the others?

*Mommy Poppins recommends the top child-friendly exhibits to see this Spring.  We'll definitely be checking out some of these, so tune in for reviews and additional information.  I'm especially jazzed to see the Spectacle exhibit celebrating the music video at the Museum of Modern Image.

*In the article "Does Anyone Here Speak Art and Tech?", the NY Times questions why new media millionaires aren't using their money to break into the art world and what will happen to the art world without that money?

This past week has been chock full of interesting tidbits and parenting news items.  There never seems to be enough time to actually read the Sunday Times, tumblr pages, all the magazines piled up, etc.  So, here's a list of a few (in my humble opinion) thrilling things to check out.

*Model Mothers I adore this slideshow of models and their mothers.  Just in time for fashion week, its a lovely homage to the beauty of mothers-- and in this case, ones with great genes.

*The Evolution of Mom Dancing- Michelle Obama does an amazing Dougie.

*Born To Wait: For City Parents, a Waiting List for Nearly Everything  Everyone living in NYC realizes how competitive it can be, and great classes for your kids can be harder to get into than Harvard.  This NY Times article showcases how demand outweighs the supply for desirable programs.

*Bullies Called Him Pork Chops- this animated short by Shane Koyczan won the Sundance short.  It's pretty much all over the internet, but if you haven't seen it- here it is.  I find it pretty heavy handed, but it's got a powerful anti-bullying message which is rad.

Molly Ringwald on The Moth- I heard this great segment on NPR and I thought this was another interesting take on bullying.  Molly Ringwald really was a huge inspiration to so many freaks and geeks (myself included!) and what a full circle life can be.
