I Love Reading Blogs!

I've been using Feedly for a long time now.  I love using this reader to keep all my blog articles in one spot and fit in my nightly reading.  This way I can read hundreds of blogs all at once!

Here is the list of the blogs and feeds that I have in my account.  Many of these sites do not post often and some of these sites may be inactive now.  The one downside to reading blogs in a reader is certain blog sites block the entire article so the only way to read the complete article is to go to the site itself - but with this many sites, there is no way I'm going to all of these sites every day!

Good Housekeeping November 1937

I got this fantastic magazine in the mail the other day - It's amazing how much more substantial magazines of the past are!  Poor children whose parents read them this as a bedtime story - part two was in Good Housekeeping December's issue!  (look for post on that next week!)  The story is fun to read and the art chosen to accompany it is so fantastic.  However, I admit, that the advertisements really caught my eye!
