1. Blog Reader (Thanks Suz!)
This is a site that allows you to link to all of your blogs that you read in one place and tells you at a glance if any of these blogs have new posts, (huge time saver!). and you can read the posts and view the pictures all on this site. Click here to check it out!
2. Blog Printing (Thanks Kysha!)
I was VERY excited to hear about this. Kysha found a place to print our blogs. It has a free program to download that extracts the posts from your blog into this program and lets you edit the text and pictures. I tried it out last night and it's super easy and fun. If I wasn't an obsessed digital scrapbooker I would solely print my blog instead, but I guess I'll do both. It prints your pages into a bound book and the pricing is very reasonable. The site is called Blurb and here is example of a blog book:
3. Blog trivia:
The term "BLOG" was created from the words weB LOG. (maybe I was the only one who didn't know this!)
4. Create one!
If you still haven't created a blog yet-- YOU SHOULD! It's so fun and easy. And with my friend's cute sense of humor and great wisdom, Angie put it nicely: "we've finally figured out that blogging is an essential part of parenting. One is simply not a good parent until one has posted photos of their child for all to admire." To start just click on the "Create a blog" on the upper right hand corner of my blog. It will walk you through it. Lastly-- let me know when you've got one and I'll add you my blog's list of "my favorite people".

Rachel, you rock!!!! I cannot tell you how cool it is that you can print your blog, since I have never been able to keep a journal ever, this is the only way that I can do journaling. I am an obsessed scrapper also, so I can never give that up! Thanks for posting this, also thanks for commenting, I love comments! Happy Thanksgiving right back at ya!

Hey Rachel- thanks so much for passing on the blog printing info. very helpful, and it looks like it's a pretty good deal. Now I just need to decide when to actually print it!
By the way- I think your hair looks way gorgeous long!
Thanks, Rachel! I love the blog printing idea. It's so cute, and totally reasonable. I will definitely be doing that. Your blog is adorable by the way. I love it!
Great ideas, thanks! As far as the digital goes, I haven't done any yet. :( My laptop kept freezing whenever I used Photoshop, so I decided to wait to buy it until we get another computer. Thanks for being patient with me, I really am excited to do it!

I'm SO HAPPY to hear that we can print out these blogs! Thanks you so much for that bit of information!
Rach - wow, what an awesome blog! I love your amazing pictures and your digital scrapbooking looks way too addicting! I just might get sucked in. =) You've done such a good job and your kids are adorable. We still need to get together with Steph sometime. Maybe after Christmas. Keep the updates coming - I love them!
