Three things I really like that you should know about

Tumblr is a website where you can create a "short-form blog" similar to Twitter. The thing that is so cool though, is that you can bookmark a page so that every time you are playing on the internet and you see something cool, you just hit your bookmark called, "share on Tumblr" and it is on your Tumblr page. So when you see that awesome recipe, Halloween costume, or article you can put it all in one place, kind of like a bulletin board.

Here is my Tumblr page if you wanna check it out.

Hmmmm...it seems that link isn't sending you to the right place...so annoying.
Here is a screen shot of my Tumblr home page. You'll just have to trust me on it's awesomeness and go sign up!


2. Ta-da list
So, I found this recently and I think it is pretty awesome. I can make lists all day but then I inevitably lose them. This is a website you can go to whenever to check or update your lists. You can also email them to yourself or someone else. I like that I can check my email on my phone and go through my list that way.

Here is a screen shot of a list of items I need to have at all times in Abby's diaper bag. (Click on the picture for a closer look.) It has been a very helpful site. I have the memory of a hamster (which apparently has the shortest memory of all) so I need all the help I can get.

3. Refrigerated Entrees
Have you had these? After checking off "clean out the pantry" from my ta-da to-do list, I grabbed a package of Turkey Breast from the fridge, a box of Stove Top, a package of Idaho instant potatoes and a can of cranberry sauce from the pantry (which I was able to do quickly because I had just cleaned out the pantry, you see.) It took about ten minutes to have dinner on the table. This isn't an every night kind of thing but to have a full meal (that isn't fast food) that quick is soooo nice sometimes.

Ok, and a fourth item. Abby and Dada reading. Abby loves her books, or gooks as she calls them.


These are a few things that I just couldn't keep to myself. Anything that you'd like to share?

I have never tried any of these, but will definitely be checking out tumblr. I certainly could use it.
