Wow can this week really be over?! Perhaps it was all of the celebrations that took place this week that made it go by in a flash. If you haven’t already heard, it was our birthday over here at Psych Central. Can you believe it’s been fifteen years since we began? Thanks to all of you who have sent a ton of b-day wishes on Twitter, Facebook and on our blogs! We really couldn’t have made it this far without you!

And if that wasn’t enough, it was Earth Day yesterday. What did you do to celebrate? One fan on Facebook got creative by donating money, picking up trash and getting some exercise at the same time! Speaking of which, scroll down to the first post and see how you can keep the celebration going.

Here are the posts that made it to the best of our blogs this week:
