10 online resources

This is not a sponsored post in any way, but I would like to share with you some online resources that have been essential to my life. I prefer physical, paper books and live, flesh and blood, person-to-person advice, but in lieu of that here are some things online I find useful. It's also the age we live in I guess, where there is so much online stuff available.

1. nieniedialogues.com
This was the first blog I ever found (while watching Oprah!) and I am still inspired by it years later. It is a mormon mommy blog and when I first found it, I read it from the very beginning so I can say I've seen every post. I love Stephanie Nielson's love of the details of homelife, family traditions and celebrations of everything. I love her tight-knit community and extended family.

2. likemotherlikedaughter.org 
I found Auntie Leila's blog through her wonderful book, The Little Oratory, and it has been invaluable. I like her pracical suggestions and use her meal-planning techniques here

3. showerofroses.blogspot.com
I am very inspired by Jessica's baking and liturgical living ideas. I am also inspired by her clean, spacious-looking house and her family prayer life. I love her book lists and recommendations.

4. abebooks.com
Ever since I discovered abebooks will group shipping costs and amazon will not, I rarely use another site for ordering books.

5. blogilates.com
Cassie Ho has free videos on this site and on youtube, but I especially love the app. It's a dollar something a month. They group four or five videos on each day by category (arms, legs, cardio, etc.) that are easy to click on. I was able to do this while pregnant with Davy because I could pick just arms, or just legs, and skip anything that involved tummy. You need ZERO equipment and they are so effective. (This pregnancy I'm just too... busy? :/)

6. supersimplelearning.com
I used this site when teaching English to kids, but now it is so useful for my kiddos. I personally love every song they make and look forward to watching new ones that come out.

7. thepioneerwoman.com/cooking_cat/all-pw-recipes
All cakes by Pioneer Woman. Occasionally other things too.

8. realsimple.com/food-recipes
Some recipes from Real Simple are wonderful and really simple, as the name implies. I especially like mud pie and Mexican chocolate cake.

9. wordonfireshow.com
I have listened to at least half of Bishop Barron's podcasts, starting from episode one, and I will be at a loss when I get through all of them and have to wait for one a week. My house has benefited because I look forward to cleaning bathrooms or washing dishes while they're sleeping if I can listen to podcast, whereas before I hated doing anything other than go online during their precious nap time.

10. daveramsey.com/everydollar/
I have yet to dedicate time to budgeting, but I found this site through a blog and I like their tips and basic concept. I hope it will help us with prospective budgeting... something we really need help with.
