Just Roughen Along: Five Friday Favorites: Websites!

This Friday, instead of featuring blogs that I follow, I will instead highlight five my favorite & most frequented websites (how's that for some festive & fun alliteration?!?!). I am hopeful that some of you will become fans of these sites too!

In no particular order:

Google Reader: An easy & straightforward way to keep up with any blogs that you follow. If you have a Google account, you already have a Google reader, but you may need to populate it by "subscribing" to blogs, like this one! If you do not have a Google account... well, then, hope on into the 21st century and get you one!
Dictionary.com: I am constantly looking up new words that are foreign to my vocabulary, using the thesaurus feature, or verifying the meaning of words that I do use to ensure that I am, in fact, using them correctly. It's the nerd in me.
Zulily: This is a GREAT site for new or expecting moms, as it has 'flash deals' that feature children's apparel, toys, and gear. The deals are only available for a few days, but offer deep discounts on great children's items. Warning: You MAY become addicted. Sign up today!
Totsy: Similar to Zulily, this is a 'flash deals' site for children's apparel, gear, toys, games, etc. I find this one not quite as 'high end' as the Zulily vendors, but you can still score some great deals on some great stuff. Again, addictive, but worth it if you're looking for deep discounts.
Paperless Post: A much more sophisticated and mature older sister to Evite and other online invitation websites, Paperless Post allows you to send beautiful invitations via email, saving you both printing and shipping costs without jipping your friends and family out of their impeccably designed Christmas card. They now offer free photo Christmas cards, all virtual, and all beautiful!
