    No, I'm not sucking in my belly this time of year...too much good food! :giggle
    I'm just wondering if anyone else gets those ads on FB or other places that are like "50 things on Amazon you never knew you needed"? They pop up on my feed all the time, probably because I keep getting sucked in and clicking on them. Then I spend an hour looking at all the different products and talking myself out of buying a lot of them lol. But I do have this in my cart for my son's gf and it's only $6 with great reviews.

    And then there's this...Not going on my list but super cute

    Or this handy little gadget

    Do you guys ever get sucked in to articles like that? Do you ever find or buy anything you never knew you needed?

    My kids got me the Angry Mama. It actually works but mostly it was a joke because my microwave doesn't get that dirty.

    The breakfast cooker seems weird but if you had a itty bitty apartment/room, it would be great.

    I am much more likely to get sucked in on Pinterest! You can get me with the word "Sensory" especially if it is followed by toys!! I am always looking for cool toys for the boys. I will buy so much stuff for those boys and not a thing for myself, lol... Although, I do buy lots of cool stuff for my instant pot, which one of my sites convinced me I needed!

    Huggles!!

    I have one of those strawberry huller thingies, but a bit smaller. It is my favorite tool! I eat a lot of strawberries and this thing takes care of the hulls in a flash!

    I had to look up what an Angry Mama was. How funny! I just put a bowl of vinegar and water in my microwave for a few minutes and it does the trick. But that Mama is too cute.

    Yep- but then I get frustrated with all the ads & click bait type of stuff. Lately I've had some good resolve & haven't gotten too sucked in! :) Pinterest tho... that's a whole other story. I was looking for a cupcake recipe & ended up in the holiday drink rabbit hole! lol!

    Nope, I rarely notice ads.

    I spend a lot of time reading articles and the comments under them and YouTube videos though!

    I have seen that Angry Mama...too funny! But I do the same as Jan @QuiltyMom, I just put a bowl of vinegar and water in there.
    That breakfast cooker would have been great for my son in his first apt. It was tiny!

    Yep, I hate the sites where you have to click through 85 pages, half of which are ads!

    Yes I must admit I do at times get sucked in.... but most times once I have a closer look I decide not to buy. One item I did buy and really find them great to use - silicone food covers.

    Stopclickbait. It's a website and a Facebook page. They watch and click those horrible things so you don't have to!

    Yep! Way too much of my time gets sucked into this. I'm working on it though. Because I hate that I waste time that way!

    I don't get sucked into ads, but I totally 100% get sucked into Hallmark Christmas movies. I know how the story will end. I know all the silly little lines movie tropes. But I still can get sucked into watching them!

    Most of the time I don't order, but I love looking and sometimes thinking "why didn't I think of that" lol
