I like writing a blog because I started off enjoying reading other blogs. And I still like reading other blogs. I enjoy getting a peek into someone else’s life, hearing someone else’s perspective and learning new things to try out in my life.<\/p>\n

A few of those things have stuck along the way, such as…<\/p>\n

Grace <\/a>is famous for her witty musings of life with 5 kids, but several weeks ago she posted a two-ingredient body scrub<\/a> that sounded simple enough for even me to try.<\/p>\n

\"favorite<\/a>Coffee ground straight from a K-cup, mixed with 1-2 Tbsp of coconut oil.<\/p>\n

\"favorite<\/a>I’ve been using it in the shower and LOVE it. David isn’t as wild about some of the leftover grounds he finds, but I remind him how much we are saving from me not buying fancy, expensive body scrubs (that’s a lie, I’ve never bought a body scrub since 7th grade when I loved the St. Ives apricot version).<\/p>\n

Ashley <\/a>once showcased a darling memory book<\/a> that I keep in our kitchen to jot down all the adorable and funny things Hailey says. I’m going to buy another one for Kaitlyn because I think it’s such a cute keepsake.<\/p>\n

I’ve learned countless cooking tips, one of my favorite being using a mixer to shred chicken.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You can find my other favorite kitchen hacks compiled here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’ve learned several fun little kids’ activities for learning through Katie<\/a>, like this manipulative math game that I will be doing soon with Hailey.<\/p>\n

And sometimes, it’s just inspirational words that resonate with me, like this from Sarah<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

And it’s not limited to blogs either. I’m finding periscope <\/a>(find me! ahealthyslice<\/em>) quite entertaining and informative.<\/p>\n

Char <\/a>did a “scope” (what the cool people call it I’m learning…) the other day about tempeh, a fermented soy protein that I’m not very experienced with.<\/p>\n

\"favorite<\/a>She shared that steaming the tempeh for 15 minutes before cooking with it helps get rid of the bitterness.<\/p>\n

Well, well, what do you know, it works!<\/p>\n

\"favorite<\/a>Speaking of periscope, Lindsay<\/a> did a kick-butt scope yesterday where she shared 5 things she wishes she’d known when she started blogging and it was packed with good info. Check it out before it expires fellow scope lovers!<\/p>\n

Those are just a few things I’ve learned from reading blogs among many, which leaves me curious to ask you this…<\/p>\n

Do you prefer reading blogs that are stories of people’s lives?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you prefer blogs that share helpful information on specific topics?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Have you ever learned a really cool trick\/tip\/hack from a blog?<\/b><\/p>\n
