Itโ€™s time for monthly favorites!

Here is everything weโ€™ve used and loved latelyโ€ฆ

Food

GoMacro Protein Bars โ€“ I have been a full-fledged Built Bar fan for years now, and they are still my number one go-to bar, but recently I had run out and was waiting on my new order to arrive. I was out in the morning and starving and saw a bunch of these bars and decided to try them. I LOVED the oatmeal chocolate chip, and they did a great job of keeping me full until lunch. They are a little heftier than the Built bars, so while I often have a Built bar as a snack, I see the GoMacro bars as a quick breakfast.

Kodiak Power Waffles โ€“ I first bought these years ago and they werenโ€™t very well-received by my kiddos at the time, so I kept on buying Eggos. Fast forward to three or four months ago and I picked them up again. Much to my delight, Dominic especially LOVES these (which makes me happy because they are a big dose of protein and calories); Joseph and Isabelle will occasionally have one, but it makes me happy to know they have a good serving of protein before heading off to school (I always keep Greek yogurt on hand for the same reason!).

Clothes

Flare Crop White Jeans โ€“ I bought these a month or two ago and have worn them a few times now and LOVE them. I previously had a pair of skinny/straight cut white jeans and I just didnโ€™t love the fit, so I decided to try these. They are SO comfortable and flattering, perfect for summer!

Home

Indoor Plug-in Fly Trap โ€“ Itโ€™s almost insect time, and this was by far a favorite purchase last year! The kids loved coming downstairs in the morning to see how many bugs it caught overnight ๐Ÿ˜‚

Crossbody Bag โ€“ I mentioned this last month, but I had to revisit and share it again because just in the last couple of weeks, Iโ€™ve received multiple compliments on the bag, and especially the strap, and no one can believe what an unbelievable deal it is!

Owala 24oz FreeSip โ€“ Another repeat from last month! My husband bought me one for my birthday and I loved it so, so much that I bought myself a second one to be able to use when the other one is dirty and in the dishwasher. Iโ€™ve found myself drinking SO MUCH more water when I use this!

Books and TV

This past month, I read The Last Mrs. Parrish and The Maid. They were both pretty quick reads and I enjoyed them both.

Kids

With Isabelleโ€™s birthday earlier this month, we had a bunch of new-to-us items enter the house that have been a HUGE hit!

The Adventures of Sophie Mouse โ€“ We got Isabelle this set of books as part of her birthday gift and she LOVES them. Iโ€™ve seen some people say they use these as read-aloud books with their kids, but Isabelle began reading them on her own right away. For reference, she just turned 6 and is kindergarten, and might be a bit of an advanced reader (she shocks me sometimes with what she is able to read!), and she only needs help with a very occasional word in these books. The stories are sweet and she just loves them.

Arts & Crafts Vault โ€“ One of the things that Isabelle loves doing is taking random things from around the house and creating art with it, so I thought that this box of random things (pipe cleaners, buttons, wooden sticks, felt, beads, etc.) would be a slam dunk, and it absolutely has been!

Bracelet Making Kit โ€“ All the rage right now, and Isabelle loves making bracelets for herself, everyone in the house, and her friends. She does everything pretty independently, I usually just need to knot them for her when sheโ€™s done.

Bubble Machine โ€“ My in-laws got her this bubble machine and it is AMAZINGโ€ฆ it blows sooo many bubbles and can go for a very long time. It can run on batteries or be plugged inโ€ฆ she loves it! (Donโ€™t forget the colorful bubbles solution!).
