Name PBS Parents
Location Arlington, VAEven the most amazing parents can use a little help sometimes. That’s where PBS Parents comes in. Their main site focuses on children’s development including social and emotional, physical and educational. The PBS Parents Tumblr blog, in contrast, celebrates the fun of parenthood. For example: Check out this incredible Mr. Rogers Cake, these pun-tastic vintage Valentine’s Day cards, and this helpful infographic on Types of Diaper Loads. Also, there are cute baby pics.

Name Every Hall of Famer
Location Austin, TXSummer Anne Burton is drawing a picture of every member of the National Baseball Hall of Fame. That’s 295 drawings, each studded with annotations, stats, and quotes, in the order they were inducted. Starting last year with Ty Cobb, who was inducted in 1936, today she’s up to 1978 with Eddie Mathews. Summer got the idea after posting drawings of baseball players on her blog. As she told ESPN.com, “I had some old Astros programs that my grandmother found in her garage and gave to me, so I started drawing all these old Astros players I’d never heard of before, and I got really into it. And then it hit me as a fully formed idea: I’m just gonna draw every Hall of Famer.” Summer also enjoys bad TV, good books, and tacos.
