I have several hundred blogs in my Google Reader. I don't ever get around to reading them all, but there are a dozen or more that I read religiously!
Today I want to tell you about a blog you should be reading. A blog that I often wish was mine.
Candace at Sparkle Power combines the perfect amount of personal life, crafts, design, business, and great looking photography to give you a true sense of who she is and how she lives her life.
I must admit I'm just a little stalkery about her blog. It is one I always look for on my reader feed, and one that has inspired me to do many things. She is super crafty and has an amazing design sense.
I've purchased three prints from Sparkle Power's ETSY shop to put in Olive's room.
And another three prints from her husband Dylan's ETSY shop for our music nook in the living room.
And Candace's experience with swagbucks.com encouraged me to try it for myself. So far I have more than 2,200 swagbucks just by searching the internet and doing silly stuff online I would normally do. I'm going to trade them in for amazon.com dollars and buy supplies for my much, much neglected aerogarden.
Psst. (You can check out swagbucks yourself by using the little button here on my blog. If you do, use me as a referral and we¹ll both earn bucks just by dicking around on the internet!)
Finally, Candace is a mother of two beautiful little girls, and from what I can tell by reading her blog, a thoughtful, kind, and loving mother. But, also an honest one, who tells it like it is in good and bad times. As someone who is just learning this motherhood gig, it is so nice to read about the paths other moms have already forged.
So, check out Sparkle Power! I think it is worth it.
Cheers :)

My New Bloggy Friend
I just have to give a shout out to Average Jane Crafter and her post about Google Reader. Her obvious love for this internet tool caused me to try it out, and I must say, it is the best thing to happen to me since I first discovered the crafty blogging world last year! I'm all set up and have subscribed to my most favorite blogs as well as others I just discovered, and I'm blogging and commenting and surfing faster and more efficiently than ever before!
Now, I'm still just a novice and haven't tried all of the bells and whistles that AJC pointed out in her lengthy post, but I'm already sold just for the fact that all my blogs' links are in one place and I get instant notification when they are updated. In fact, as I was showing my husband my new found tool, several blogs posted new entries and I cried out with glee.
If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it. It has taken my blog addiction to a whole new level.
