Top 5 Most Popularย Posts This Week:
1.ย Grandma's Banana Nut Bread
Most Popularย Product Shares This Week:
1.ย Color Wow Dream Cocktailย - I asked my husband for this for Christmas, and I absolutely love it! My hair has definitely become thinner over the last few years, and this gives the appearance of thicker, fuller hair. A go-to now, for sure.
2.ย Dishwashing Glovesย - I finally bought a pair of dishwashing gloves; I've never owned a pair but my hands have been taking a beating this winter, and they have helped so much when there is a sink full of dishes to wash!
3.ย BruMate Resa 35oz Travel Tumbler โ I do not own this, but shared it as one of the mostly highly recommended water bottles when I asked for recommendations.
4.ย Cole & Mason Salt and Pepper Mill Setย - We recently bought this set for ourselves as we were badly in need of replacing our salt and pepper shakes, which were at least 12 years old. These are a bit of a splurge, but they're gorgeous and would also make a fabulous gift!
5.ย Weekly Planner Notepadย - I bought this in November because, even though we have and use a Google calendar, apparently, if I don't look at it, I forget what's going on. This has been SO helpful, I fill it out each week and put it on the fridge. It's also been great because the kids have always routinely asked "what do we have tomorrow?" or "is there anything going on after school today"? Now it's all right there, and they look at it every day and know who has a practice or after-school activity, doctor's appointment, or anything else. I LOVE this!
6. Wilton 101-Piece Cookie Cutter Setย - I've had this set for nearly 20 years, and they have held up wonderfully! There are letters, numbers, and tons of different holiday and activity-themed cutters. A must-have if you love makingย cut-out sugar cookies!
7. Owala FreeSip 24oz Water Bottle โ These are the bottles I currently have and LOVE them, except the lids have been failing recently. Replacements are covered under warranty, but I was crowdsourcing some information on other options.
8. Aquaphor Lip Repair Stickย - This continues to be my very favorite lip balm, and the kids use it, too.
9. USA Pan Loaf Panย - A kitchen staple! Perfect for making your favoriteย bread recipes.
10. Le Creuset Enameled Round 7.5-Quart Dutch Ovenย - Hands down, my favorite pot! I use this for everything fromย chili,ย chicken and dumplings,ย spaghetti sauce, andย no-knead breadย toย beef stewย andย buttermilk fried chicken.
