A lot of my time online is in figuring out how to be a Mom and raise a decent daughter, but then of course I need to shop, cook, dream of lives I'll never live, be entertained and keep up with stuff too.  Here are a few of my favorite online places to hang out.

Ted: Ideas worth spreading "Riveting talks by remarkable people..." is full of short videos of speakers on a huge range of topics.  I've learned so much from these videos.  Relationships, technology, life, etc.  WATCH!!!

Allrecipes.com is where I get all of my recipes from, by reading the comments other people leave you can get great ideas for variations and helpful hints.  I will be using this recipe for Jalapeno Poppers this Superbowl Sunday

MOM sites:  I follow most of these sites on Facebook, so I don't actually log on everyday, I just see the updates.  I have so many it's hard to know what one is my favorite so I'll list several.  Get Born Magazine is an amazing LOCAL magazine for more liberal Moms and following their Facebook page is identifiable fun!  I love looking at all the creative outdoor play ideas on let the children play.  The quotes and ideas I find on Authentic Parenting inspire me often.  For breastfeeding Moms following this website on Facebook is crucial, it is so helpful The Leaky Boob.

I waste tons of time daydream shopping and crafting here on Etsy.com

Ree Drummond, The Pioneer Woman is just so fun.  She was a pure city girl who married a true cowboy and now lives on a ranch in Oklahoma.  She takes stellar photographs and cooks amazing meals WITH REAL BUTTER!!  ; )

Reviews of Fort Collins eateries are well done at Feasting Fort Collins

Hyperbole and a Half is full of genius funny sketches and a simple story that always makes me laugh.

Those are just a few of my favorites.  Please comment below and tell me some of your most visited websites/blogs.
