Tuesday's Top Pick

This week's pick is extra special. It's not just one pick, but many little picks! Is this necessary, you ask? But of course. These things are like potato chips, you can never have just one.

So we begin with Pick #1: the NFL Preseason

The start of the NFL preseason is 67 days away, or a little over two months. I sate my excitement of seeing what the Carolina Panthers will do this season by visiting NFL.com and reading articles that talk about how awesomely amazing Cam Newton is (such as this one). I think if Cam can stay calm/out of his head and not get happy feet we'll be in good shape. Add a healthy Beason back into the mix and we're great.



Proceeding on to Pick #2: Weather.com's Hurricane Central


June 1st is right around the corner! And that means Hurricane season. So really Pick #2 should really have an asterisk after it and an explanation at the bottom of the page saying "and also the other 10 weather related sites Sara visits on a daily basis." June 1st is always when I start anticipating hurricanes and tropical storms to come our way and give us some (usually) much need rain. So far we've had two this year, which is incredible. Alberto and Beryl make up the first time in over a decade that we've had two named tropical systems before June 1st. And not only that but Beryl is the 1st tropical storm to make landfall in the U.S. in May since Arlene in 1959. If you want to follow the hurricanes and other tropical systems all summer like I do, you can here.



And finally, we come to Pick #3: Wantist


Hopefully, many of you will find Wantist more up your alley if you aren't a football fanatic or a weather geek like yours truly. Wantist is a blog of creative and unique gifts, as well as tips on how to wrap them and really nifty DIY ideas. Examples of the cuteness you will find are a DIY popsicle memory game, printable gift tags, handmade planters and cupcakes that look like plants. You can find all of these and more here.
