A few of my favorite things edition!

Over the weekend, we were busy but home a lot too.

I thought I'd take a few pictures of a few of my recent favorite things.

Cannot get enough of this smell.

Eucalyptus Spearmint

I'm not sure whether it is because we've all been having sinus problems or because it's winter, but I'm in love of with this fresh...make you really breath product.

This is another pregnancy craving.

I'm addicted to this cereal and so is the Man (not sure what his excuse he has).

We go through a box pretty quickly.

For Christmas, we got the wonderful gift of Apple TV and then subscribed to Netflix.

It's amazing to have all sorts of things to watch when you want (we don't have dish or cable).

I've been watching lots of Bones and the Cosby Show when the kids have gone to bed!

Found a new flavor of soft lips I can't live without.

My fabulous honey put this in my stocking.

Winter Mint

You think I've got a thing with mint or what?

Please share your new favorite things.

I love me some good products/food!

Finally following up...

Finally following up on a picture and old blog post that I promised to give more info on.

I always say I'll tell more about this or do a whole post on that...but usually forget to do it.

But this one didn't get past me! : )

My sweet bestie, Rach gave me the coolest Christmas gift.

Birchbox

Pretty much what this is... a poor woman's dream!

They send you HIGH END samples and fancy products each month.

I LOVE fun and expensive products, but cannot justify buying expensive face masks or polish.

Birchbox sends you about five product samples in the cutest packaged box for only $10 a month

And my friend got me a YEAR subscription!

Holy cow, that's a lotta love and a very happy me!!!

This was my first box.

It included:

1. Jouer- Moisturizing Lip Gloss in Birchbox Pink : )

2. Laura Geller - I-Care Waterproof Eyeliner

3. Oscar Blandi - Pronto Invisible Volumizing Dry Shampoo

4. Harvey Prince - Yogini (perfume)

5. Prep ShowStoppers - Designer Fashion Tape

6. Recharge EBoost - Orange Natural Energy Booster

And that was just my FIRST box.

I cannot wait to get my January box....woo hoo!!!

Another cool part of Birchbox is that you can answer questions to help them send you samples that are most like you.

Anyways, check out BIRCHBOX, you'll LOVE it!

Some of my favorites...

A & D Diaper Cream - When we were preparing to get children in our home, I hadn't set on favorite brands yet. If you remember, our wonderful family through us a shower. We got several different things of diaper cream, but I've found the winner. I know everyone has an opinion and different things work for different kids. These babes have some major skin issues. We obviously use this for bottoms, but also on chapped (face) cheeks, scratches, and irritated skin. It's been a miracle product for this family!

Speaking of skin (but for Mommy) I've always had dry skin in the winter. I normally hate hand creams because my hands feel so greasy and when it rubs off are still left dry. When i started my new job at Baker's Rack, I found the perfect hand creme. It's called La Source Hand Therapy by Crabtree & Evelyn. It's thick but not greasy. And it works for hours!

Fruity Cheerios- I can't say enough about this new cereal. I know, I know it's just cereal. But it's soo good and still whole grains. I've never been a big sugary cereal person. So it surprised me that I enjoyed it so much. Try them! Oh, and thanks Fynn and his Moma for introducing them to us.

My last review is probably what we've used the most (next to the A&D ointment) and it's Lysol wipes that are double sided. One side is normal, but the other has some grit to it for scrubbing. We use them every night to wipe off the table after the kids make lovely messes. They are great for cleaning bathrooms, kitchen counters and kids toys. I don't know how we'd clean without them.

Any new products I should know about that you guys love?

Fiddlestix

I'm in love with this new line i found at Hobby Lobby!

These cools clips were only $2.50

isn't their logo cute!

These file folders and labels were like $5.

3 different styles

Cute office stuff + already cool job = even more fun job!!!

this is fall? and product reviews

Can this really be fall?

As you can tell from my very wet pumpkin, it's been raining here pretty much non-stop!

Ugh!

That's how I really feel about it. Especially, since I've felt pretty yucky today.

I've tried a few new products out on the market and wanted to give my opinions. Cause I know everyone wants to here my opinions! : )

Purex 3-in-1 laundry sheets:

I (so far) have LOVED these things. They really work well and are very convienent!

You should try them out.

Arm & Hammer Oxi Clean carpet cleaner:

I could really tell after using this and vacuuming, that dirt came up easier and my carpet smells yummy. And continued to smell after I vacuumed the next time! Gotta love that.

So try these new products out and see for yourself!
(i promise arm&hammer and purrex are not paying me)

haha!

now off to watch more of Big BLUE MADNESS and try to get over this wanna-be cold!
