Cooking with Hyacinth: Amazing cooking blog with detailed step-by-step photos and original recipes. In one of the photos, she sports a really cute apron that you can find at TheKitchenMadonna. (The Pioneer Woman Cooks)

Math Wonder: Former Wonder Years star Danica McKellar has written a book called “Math Doesn’t Suck: How to Survive Middle School Math Without Losing Your Mind or Breaking a Nail.” Danica graduated with highest honors from UCLA with a degree in math, and she encourages young girls not to be afraid of math and to be proud of their intellectual ability. I’ll definitely be buying this book in August and giving it to every middle school girl I know. Young girls need intellectual role models, and it’s refreshing to see a celebrity doing something truly helpful.
