1. \u00a0Google Reader<\/strong><\/p>\n

Have you? \u00a0Do you? \u00a0I do now.<\/p>\n

I’m a blog reader. \u00a0I read so many that it was taking up loads of my time, time I don’t have. \u00a0But I love it. \u00a0Keeping tabs on mostly complete strangers (imagine if more of my friends had blogs?) lets me feel as though I have a little bit of a social life.<\/p>\n

I had heard about Google Reader<\/a>, but never bothered to play around with it. \u00a0But it is seriously genius. \u00a0It keeps tabs on the blogs\/webpages you subscribe to and gathers all those with a new post together so that you can go to one place and catch up without having to go to each page individually.<\/p>\n

And just to sweeten the deal a little further, you can install a ‘Next’ button so that at the click of the mouse, you are taken\u00a0directly to the next chronological blog post in your reader queue.<\/p>\n

See, genius. \u00a0Now go get your internet read on.<\/p>\n

2. \u00a0eeBoo Fairytale Mix Ups<\/strong><\/p>\n

\ufeff\"\"<\/a>My girl LOVES stories. \u00a0But more than just stories, she loves made up stories,and the best ones have her as the star. \u00a0Ever since she was wee, we’ve been telling her ‘Princess Jaia’ stories before bed. \u00a0Every. Single. Night. \u00a0And let me tell you, some nights I’m just not feeling creative enough to make up a story, but she persists and I give in. \u00a0Sometimes my stories are awesome. \u00a0Sometimes lame. \u00a0Depends on the day.<\/p>\n

So when I found this card game, I knew she’d love it. \u00a0And she does. \u00a0You can either use the cards to steer your story, or play it as a game with 2 or more players and have everybody take part in the storytelling.<\/p>\n

We played with my parents and we were literally in stitches.<\/p>\n

The game forces you to be creative, and it lets your little one use their imagination over and over again. \u00a0With a quick shuffle, you have a brand new game. \u00a0Ta da!!<\/p>\n

LOVE.<\/p>\n

3. \u00a0President’s Choice Organics Clementines<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yum. \u00a0Every single shopping trip over the past couple of months has me coming home with a bag of these juicy little lovelies. \u00a0There are just the right amount of sweet and I have yet to get a dud. \u00a0I’m hooked. \u00a0And so is my little chowhound who will literally stops what he’s doing and will come tearing in my direction if he sees me with one. \u00a0Delish.<\/p>\n

4. \u00a0The Voice<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There was so much hype for this show in the weeks before it’s premiere. \u00a0It was almost nauseating. \u00a0And I was not interested in watching another show. \u00a0Nor was I interested in a reality show, especially a singing competition. \u00a0But their advertising worked. \u00a0I just had to see what it was all about and I really liked it. \u00a0And maybe I don’t want to admit this publicly, but I have a mini-crush on Cee Lo Green, so that may be part of the attraction. \u00a0But I’m not gonna lie, I’m pretty excited to see how it plays out.<\/p>\n

5. \u00a0Watching my boy walk<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I seriously find my breath being taken away as I watch my littlest up on his two feet motoring around. \u00a0We wait with bated breathe for these milestones to be met, but when they do, we’re quickly reminded of how fast time flies. \u00a0My boy is on a steady course from baby to toddler and it breaks my heart a little. \u00a0But it also gives me an excuse to do air fist pumps. \u00a0I’m so proud of the little dude.<\/p>\n

And seriously, have you ever seen anything cuter?<\/p>\n

What are you loving today?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
