			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">Those of you with young children (<em>or those of you whose children are now older</em>) may relate&#8230; sometimes we just need 5 minutes&#8230; not necessarily to have time for ourselves, but to get things done. Which leads me to today&#8217;s Top 10 topic&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.mamamichie.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Sprout.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2062 aligncenter" title="Sprout" src="http://www.mamamichie.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Sprout.jpg" alt="PBS Kids Sprout" width="123" height="74" /></a></p>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">The Top 10 Reasons I love <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sproutonline.com" target="_blank">Sprout TV</a>!</h4>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Noah loves it! (Enough said!)</li>
<li><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sproutonline.com/sprout/ssu/" target="_blank">The Sunny Side Up Show</a>&#8230; it&#8217;s a great way to transition into the day and lets face it the Happy Birthday song is catchy and fun to sing along to. Not to mention&#8230; Chica is just too cute! (I am sad though that Kevin is no longer on the show!)</li>
<li>I think Noah has a crush on Nina from the Goodnight Show&#8230; love it (though she&#8217;s a bit too old for him! ha!)!</li>
<li>George Carlin narrates the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.thomasandfriends.com/usa/index.asp" target="_blank">Thomas the Tank Engine</a> episodes &#8211; I love George Carlin and think it&#8217;s great that he was able to narrate a children&#8217;s show!</li>
<li>Play With Me Sesame &#8211; it has my favorite Sesame Street characters&#8230; Ernie, Bert and Grover and is a more fun, condensed version of Sesame Street.</li>
<li>On our early morning days (<em>when Noah wakes up at 6:30am</em>), we like to snuggle together on the couch while watching Sprout &#8211; but only for about 15 minutes, until he really wakes up and is ready to go go go!!!</li>
<li>Noah still thinks that the characters on TV are talking to him and that is just too cute!! If one of them says good bye, he will wave back to them!</li>
<li>Watching Noah stop what he&#8217;s doing and start dancing as soon as he hears the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bobthebuilder.com/usa/" target="_blank">Bob the Builder</a> theme song cracks me up every.single.time!</li>
<li>It gives me enough time to be able to go to the bathroom, without having Noah run in there with me! (<em>I still have to have the door open, but at least I can pee without someone staring at me!!</em>)</li>
<li>It&#8217;s what we call baby crack, which is why we limit the time he is allowed to watch it! Noah is like a zombie as soon as he hears that Sprout is on!</li>
</ol>
<p style="text-align: left;">So there you have it &#8211; 10 reasons why I love Sprout TV. I know that it&#8217;s not available everywhere, but if it is&#8230; you may just want to check it out. If anyone from Sprout reads this&#8230; I really wish that you would upgrade to HD broadcasting!! It would make watching for us HD subscribers much better (<em>and less blurry</em>).</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">(<em>Note &#8211; I was not compensated in any way shape of form for this post &#8211; these are my opinions and quite frankly I love Sprout and wanted to spread the news!</em>)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you had asked me 18 months ago what I thought about blogging I probably would have looked at you with a blank stare and a shy smile and asked &#8220;What?&#8221;  That all has changed and I am addicted! Here are my Top 10 Reasons why I love blogging:</p>
<ol>
<li>It&#8217;s nice to lose yourself in a blog that you can relate to.</li>
<li>It&#8217;s a great place learn. From crafts to cooking, there&#8217;s so much to find out!</li>
<li>It&#8217;s a great outlet for people who love to write. I used to keep a journal, now I blog and the whole world can read it if they want to.</li>
<li>You can make money blogging. Well they say you can. I haven&#8217;t yet, but they say you can!</li>
<li>You can win some great things. There are so many review bloggers that host giveaways that you can win almost anything!</li>
<li>You can gripe and moan and let it all out, without looking up to see the person you&#8217;re talking to roll their eyes at you. They just might not leave you a comment!</li>
<li>It&#8217;s a great way to keep family and friends all over the world up to date with your life.</li>
<li>The sense of community among bloggers is unbeatable! They stick together through the good and the bad, the happy and sad.</li>
<li>Who needs the news when you have blogs? Word travels fast among bloggers and chances are they&#8217;ve covered a story faster than some news stations have!</li>
<li>It is a great way to meet new people and make new friends. Without blogging I never would have met <a href="http://www.tobethode.com" target="_blank">Stefany</a>, <a href="http://vickiesscrapbookingandtidbits.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Vickie</a>, <a href="http://www.complicatedmama.com/" target="_blank">Corine (aka Complicated Mama)</a>, <a href="http://www.hishersandours05.com/" target="_blank">Kara</a>, <a href="http://projectmommyhood.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Lesley</a>, <a href="http://kathleenrichards.blogspot.com">Kat</a> and so many more great and fabulous women. I could go on and on listing them all, but I think we&#8217;ll save that post for a later day. I have yet to meet any of these women in real life but I there is a connection to each and every one of them and I am so happy to have them as my bloggy friends!!!</li>
</ol>
<p>So there you have it. Those are just 10 of the reasons why I love blogging. I&#8217;d love to know how you got started blogging&#8230; or if you don&#8217;t blog what captures you in the blogs that you read?</p>
