A Year of Thanks: July

I am in the midst of PCSing! Woo hoo! (Who would have thought I would be so excited to head back to Fort Rucker, Alabama? After three years in Korea, they could have sent us anywhere not in Korea and I would have been thrilled.) Because I am PCSing, I thought I’d go a different route this month, and give thanks for 31 websites. Why am I thankful for them? Because who doesn’t like awesome stuff? I’m always thankful for awesomeness.

First, JanuaryFebruaryMarchAprilMay, and June.  And now?

Here’s my July:

1. Army Wife Network (the organization): Because, if not for AWN, I wouldn’t have met my sisters.

2. Post Secret: Reading secrets? Probably my favorite thing to do.

3. Army Wife Network (the website): Because I had never blogged before I decided to write here, and there was no looking back. I found the thing I love to do other than taking pictures.

4. All Women StalkIt’s just lists of awesome stuff. So. Many. Lists.

5. Where’s My Cell Phone: I am always, always losing my phone. Always.

6. BuzzFeed: Nothing says “time well spent” quite like finding out which Disney Princess or X-Men character I am. (P.S. Aurora and Rogue.)

7. All RecipesFooooooood.

8. Google: For oobviousvs reasons.

9. 10 Minute MailFor those times you need a throwaway email address, this site will enable you to get confirmation then self destruct in 10 minutes.

10. YouTube: Because not only can I keep all of my son’s videos in one place, I learned how to use Photoshop and Illustrator thanks to YouTube videos.

11. Printable PaperBecause I never have looseleaf paper.

12. Today I Found Out: Learning is good, right?

13. My Social BookIt’s just a really cool idea.

14. Amazon: You can buy just about anything on Amazon, from vanilla beans to vanilla body wash to vanilla candles.

15. Netflix: I would not have survived three years in Korea without Netflix or…

Giving thanks to Netflix.

Thank you, Netflix, for the recommendation.

16. Hulu

17. Pinterest: So, so many ideas; so, so little time.

18. Facebook: I don’t know that I’d be able to keep in touch with all the awesome people I’ve met in thanks to the military without Facebook.

19. The Part Time PhotographerI learned a lot about photography and the business itself thanks to this site.

20. Martha StewartSometimes I feel the need to challenge my lack of domesticity. Martha’s got recipes, crafting ideas… it’s bananas.

21. Bakerella: So. Much. Nom.

22. Cooking Light: More fooooooood.

23. Incredible ThingsEverything here really is incredible.

24. Etsy: I have bought some of the most beautiful handmade items through Etsy, including earrings, personalized wine charms, a customized rubber stamp… I love Etsy! (R.I.P. Regretsy.com)

25. Oh No They Didn’t!Because I care about celebrity gossip like any self-respecting American.

26. Mama’s Losin’ ItI go to this site mostly for writing prompts, but she’s got a great blog and also vlogs!

27. Fat Mum Slim: Her photo-a-day challenge is awesome!

28. Twitter: It makes stalking my favorite celebrities way, way easier, but not less creepy, unfortunately. (TARAN KILLAM, I LOVE YOU.)

29. PapyrusNothing beats actually shopping at a Papyrus store, but if you can’t get to one, this is a close second.

30. DaFontI make a lot of graphics and I like to use a lot of different fonts. Hooray for free fonts!

31. Emily Grace: Because it’s me!
