I don’t get much time these days to keep up with all the blogs I tag and bookmark, but occasionally when I’m down physically, I do enjoy more computer time. Here are some blog posts that I found helpful or interesting recently.
I stumbled across this blog post when I googled “large family reality shows” – A news article on the web alerted me to yet another reality show featuring a family with 7 children. I’m just a bit curious as to why these shows are popular. Is it fascination, respect, desire to imitate…or is it a desire to ridicule?
We recently had these brownies for dessert and let me just say, they were GOOD! I definitely will be making these at our next church fellowship. I recommend making them by hand as she suggests, rather than using a mixer. Oh so yummy!
Here is what looks like a great series starting on Simple Steps Toward Eating Healthy. She is 100% correct on pointing out that eating fresh fruits and vegetables is not really any more expensive than eating processed snack foods. Where I think most people get the idea that it just costs too much to eat healthy, is when they try to do both! They purchase more fruits and vegetables, but they still purchase their old food choices. If you do that, then yes, it is more expensive.
I bookmarked this awhile back and I thought it had some great ideas on waking up early. This is an area that I have always struggled in, but with the more children I have, the less of a problem it becomes! But even though I do get up early now, I don’t actually get very productive until later in the morning. So along those lines I recommend one of my favorite bloggers article on Establishing a Morning Routine.
I have often wanted to write a post on cleaning or perhaps a series on cleaning, but just haven’t had the wherewithal to actually take the time to start it. It’s sad that so many housewives struggle in this area, often because their moms did, as did their moms before them. While I am certainly not an expert in this area as evidenced by the cobwebs I can see from my vantage point on the couch, I am thankful for the tips I learned cleaning houses professionally. But until I can gather my thoughts and start a series on this, The Secret to Having a Clean Home is a great place to start and offers many of the same ideas I would suggest.
And finally, here is a great, easy recipe for strawberry ice-cream. I’ve made strawberry ice-cream using several different recipes and honestly there isn’t one that my family doesn’t like. But this one is just as good, if not better in my opinion, than any of the others I’ve tried.

Glad to hear I’m not the only one who spends their time tagging web pages to read later. I just wish I could always take them with me to catch up on while waiting for kids, appointments, etc. I know there are still some great undiscovered gems out there waiting for me just a bookmark tag away.
