Google announced some sad news in the fact that their Google Reader service will be closing on July 1st. This is important for bloggers because if you subscribe to a blog via RSS it is more than likely with the Google Reader service. There is also some speculation that this will also mean that GFC (Google Friend Connect) will also be closing, although this has not been confirmed.
This means that come July 1st if you follow us via GFC or RSS you may no longer receive our posts. Never fear though today we are going to share other ways in which you can connect with us.

Physical Posts
These three ways are ones that will deliver you the actual post to your method of subscription.
RSS
The first way is through another RSS service, most of them are free and all you would have to do is just resubscribe using one of the other services.

Bloglovin
After a long discussion on Twitter Wednesday night with some great ladies it seems that a large group of bloggers is wanting to start pushing following through Bloglovin. It works similar to Google Reader but is a lot better in my opinion.

E-Mail
My favorite way to follow a blog is through email. The first thing I do when I wake up is check my email, when I’m bored I check my email, I have my email sent to my phone through an app (really who doesn’t have that feature) so by getting them sent to my email I’m guaranteed to read them. I don’t always have time to travel to another site to surf through tons of blogs. If you want to get our posts in your inbox then this option is for you.

Social Media
These four options are more social media based so they just give you a link to the post but you will get other updates with these that don’t pertain to the posts.
Instagram
I love Instagram. It is one of my favorite apps. It is an app that notifications are sent directly to my phone, so if you comment on a picture of mine than I will get it immediately.

| Lila LOVES our new front deck |
Facebook
I have a love hate relationship with Facebook. I don’t update it as often as I should because I just don’t feel that my posts are being seen that often since their new changes. I loved Facebook before the changes but now I don’t and wouldn’t it figure that I would create this blog AFTER the changes.

| She was sooo excited but she sat pretty for me |
Twitter
Another one that I have a love hate relationship with. This is mainly because of my OCD, I feel that I have to read EVERYTHING. So if I step away for 15 minutes and there are 50 tweets I feel that I have to read every SINGLE one. This gets pretty horrid when I decide that yes I do need sleep to survive. Then I get mad and stay away for a few days, it’s a vicious cycle I tell you, I’m trying to get better.

| She loves the back deck even more, she missed being able to lean on the banister. |
Google+
I don’t even want to admit that I don’t know how to use this. I really really REALLY need to do some research on this one. Do I share with you my page? Do I share my personal profile? What do I do?!?!?! Well for right now I’ll give you both, mine first because I think it’s a shorter link…
