Why I Love Chick-Fil-A

I can't post a brand logo of Chick-fil-A due to my agreement with BlogHer ads, but here's a picture of Isis all chill & content after our visit to Chick-fil-A yesterday!

1. Real Chicken, Fruits & Veggies
What mom doesn't love the fact that the chicken looks like real chicken? And it's actually good! You don't feel like you're eating some gross processed chicken. This is one of the only fast food restaurants where Isis will be allowed to eat for a while. Plus you can get fruit or carrot & raisin salad as a side rather than french fries! (But the fries are delicious, too!)

2. Closed on Sundays
They stick to their principles! According to their website, Chick-fil-A restaurants are closed on Sundays because the founder, Truett Cathy, believed that all restaurant employees should have the opportunity to rest on Sundays and spend time with their families or worship if they choose to do so. I really like this. I think it definitely sets them apart from other restaurants. Although, I do sometimes get a craving for some of their food on Sundays... And I don't know about the Chick-fil-A restaurants in your area, but mine always has the Christian music radio station playing in the speakers. It's just a positive atmosphere.

3. Kids Meal Toy or Ice Cream!
This is the only place I know of where you can trade in the kids meal toy for a small ice cream cone!!! Yum!!!

4. Books as Toys
They give books as the prize in the kids meal!! I got a little Berenstain Bears book one time!! I LOVE this!!!

5. Loved by Parents!
The kids play area is clean and the employees are friendly. The food is good, healthy and fresh. Basically, because of all these things, the restaurant is always about 80% full of parents & kids. Due to this fact, I can bring Isis and really not worry about her making noise or fussing or anything because there are always a couple of other kids doing the exact same thing! May be annoying to people who came without kids, but for a parent, having somewhere you can go where you're not worried about bothering someone with your fussy kid is completely awesome!!

10 on Tuesday: 10 Favorite 6 Month Pics

This is completely gratuitous, just me posting pictures of Isis, but my friend Hannah took some pictures of our family yesterday! She is such a great photographer & she is also going to be watching Isis for me in the fall when I start my student teaching. I feel so blessed to have her as a friend on top of the fact that she takes gorgeous pictures of Isis!! I also realized that I didn't put any of the ones where she is smiling in this post. This just means I'll have to post more another time! Get excited! (And this is not a great comment-grabbing post , but who cares? This is for the digital baby book!)

How to Efficiently Read Blogs

Have you ever been just completely overwhelmed by the sheer volume of blogs out there you can read? I have. Wow. So many fabulous people I'm interested in reading about! I love the stories, the humor, the pictures, the tips, the giveaways, the links, I just love it all! So I've found myself having to streamline my blog reading in order to better manage my time & make sure I hit the "must-reads" for me. Here's how I've done it: First of all, if you leave a comment on my blog or if you follow my blog, I will go to your blog & at the very least I will follow you on Google Friend Connect . This way the blog shows up on my blogger dashboard when I log in. I always look over the new posts that are there when I log in each day, but if you've looked at my Google Friend Connect page lately, you'll see that I follow a lot of people's blogs! So I had to come up with a more specific approach in addition to the blogger dashboard. This is where my Goog

5 Blogging Pet Peeves

Blogging pet peeves are obviously going to be different depending on the blogger or blog reader. I am not an expert, but I have been blogging for more than 3 years between this blog & my other one. So I've seen a lot of blogs & read a lot of tips. Here are 5 things from my perspective that will really help you as a blogger &  me as a reader. 1. Offer a full RSS feed Oh my goodness this gets on my nerves!! I don't know if people think that offering a partial feed will get people to click on their page more or something? But really all it does it gets most people from what I've seen to NOT subscribe or visit your blog at all. There are maybe 2 bloggers that I subscribe to their feed even if they don't offer a full feed & that's only because they email & converse with me regularly & in some way make up for the fact that I can't see their feed in my reader. So just offer a full feed.  There is some debate about the issue, but in every debate
