Welcome to another week of the UN-digi, where we take a break from the digi scrap talk and talk about…anything else.
It is no secret that I love Google. I love gmail. I love iGoogle. And I love my Google Reader. For those of you who don’t know, Google Reader is one of many ways to subscribe to blogs. I still kind of chuckle when I think of how long I manually checked the blogs I loved every day. I kept them bookmarked and then opened them all in tabs to see if there was anything new. It is a good thing I only had about ten blogs then! Over the last year and a half I have enjoyed all the benefits of a blog reader — I subscribe, and then blogs come straight to me. I have my Google Reader set to show on my iGoogle page (which is my browser home page) and so I have everything I need all in one place — Gmail account, Google Reader, Facebook, Twitter, Weather, Dictionary, Verse for the Day, etc. Oh, but wait, this post isn’t about iGoogle (oh but I could talk about it for days!)
No, this post is to say that in the last few months my Google Reader has started to overflow. I have found so many great sights around the net…so many wonderful snippets of life and creativity coming straight to me. I wanted to share some of my more recent finds.
Modern Media Mom – A great site with headlines from the media industry. It is a great to stay caught up on what’s going on in the techy world.
One Cool Pick — a site where the author finds great stuff around the net — Like finding out you get can chalkboard paint in 20 different colors!
Tip Junkie — this site is a one-stop place for all kinds of tips on home decor, crafts, and more. Readers send in their tips and the blog author puts them altogether.
The Creative Mama — beauty and craftiness all in one. I especially love her recent post on her Two Things Rule
Soule Mama — Wonderful Handmade goodness. The author also has a new book out called Handmade Home.
Our Best Bites — this site is full of mouth-watering recipes. I especially want to try the Stuffed Pizza Rolls.
(in) Courage — Dayspring, the Christian offshoot of Hallmark, has gathered together 20 amazing women bloggers to bring one inspirational site.
Becky Earl Photography — I stumbled across Becky’s work about a year ago on I Love Photography but I have just recently been following her blog. She is my photography idol.
Bakerella -- This site is totally full of the most amazing and beautiful baked goods. Makes me hungry. Very hungry.
Feed Your Soul — this amazing site offers FREE art prints for you to download, print, and frame. Amazing!

Thank you for your finds!!! My reader is overwhelmed as well!!!! AAHHHH!!! Think I am about to add more!
Geee thanks, mine was under control until now! Hehehe. Seriously, thanks to you, I tried Google Reader and I honestly don’t know how I got along without it before LOL! It is one awesome tool, and makes my morning a lot more organized (plus I am up to date on so much more than I would have been ordinarily). Keep up these GREAT ideas
Thank you, I’ve not long started using Google Reader and it has given me so much more time to surf. Its FANTASTIC!
My Google Reader overflows daily (we will not mention the total # of blogs I subscribe to LOL) but I tend to forget things, so when I find a blog of interest I subscribe…now to actually have the time to read them…..
Another reason why I love Google Reader (or any other feed management system) is that it de-clutters blogs – I’m not visually overwhelmed!
Thanks for the new site tips!
Thanks for sharing some of your favorite blogs. I had so much fun clicking and reading each one. I have a few more added to my Google Reader now! I adore your blog and your style! Thank you for sharing YOU with all of us
I already had 30 or so blogs on my iGoogle! Now I have at least 5 more.
Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks for sharing some of your favorite blogs! They were fun to visit and add to my reader as well. I have just started using googleReader based on your awesome suggestion awhile back. Thanks so much for your great ideas and knowledge you share!
My google reader is overflowing too, but I just enjoy it so much!! Thanks for the new sites! I am adding modern media mom and tip junkie!!
now I have to make those stuffed pizza rolls tonight! lol
Thanks for the linking, as if my Reader wasn’t overflowing enough!
I’m the same way, don’t know what on earth I did before I discovered it!
I haven’t tried google reader, but I do use Feed Sidebar for Firefox.
I like it A LOT. And usually, mine is overflowing as well.
