Must Have Mondays

Today, I am picking out 3 items I have ordered from Amazon in the last year that I consider must haves. These are kind of all over the map. But all goodies!

First up, my coffee frother! I first encountered this when we were visiting friends in the DC area. One cup of perfectly frothed at home coffee and I was in love!

As you can see the price point is excellent and worth every penny for delicious frothy #momfuel !!!!

Second item on my must have list are the gripper baby/toddler slipper socks.i orderedthese last year while we were staying at my moms house, for my then 16 month old. These are the only docks she will keep on her feet in bed. I love these and she loves them too.

The last item for this weeks must have Monday is battery operated timer yes lights. These are perfect for me. I don’t really do candles that much any more, because #twoyearolds and I typically have my young living diffuser going non-stop. I love the look of candles and the decorative and homey quality they give. But I’m terrible about blowing them out! I have found it simple to get pillar size battery operated time candles locally. But I have been able to get tea lights. I ordered these before the holidays and they were wonderful for these great ceramic Jack-o-Lateran I have. They are wonderful in mosaic glass jars. I basically love them. Lanterns are such a hot home decor item and these tea lights are perfect inside a galvanized steel lateen.

Monday Must Have - - - Closet Clothing Dividers for Kids

Mom's Take back your morning!!!! If you are like me and have multiple school age children, mornings can be stressful and time consuming. The fight about clothes and hurrying to get dressed in the morning can be endless and infuriating. I envy those of you whose children wear uniforms to school. But regardless of if they wear everyday clothes or uniforms this method is priceless. This also allows momma to see if everything they need for the week is clean and ready. I also hang practice clothes or jersey's with the day of the week of the game etc. I started this when my oldest was in preschool. It allows us organization and frees our mornings up. When I started doing this, I used a hanging sweater organizer. This was a good fit for the closet at the time and it worked for our space. Now, my oldest two children share a room and closet, so this method works better for us. I ordered colorful set of clothing organizers from Amazon . ...

Boundaries - - - Time for Childhood

Boundaries is a tricky subject matter. I think some people have a natural propensity for strong boundaries in their lives and some people have to work harder to establish them. When I say boundaries, I am specifically talking about ones ability to establish specific limits and guidelines for certain relationships and activities. I have a natural ability for well established boundaries. Many times friends and acquaintances have come to me seeking advice & recommendation on improving this area. I definitely don't say this to toot my own horn, but to share with you what I know about my successes and areas I still need to work on. One of the reasons boundary discussion can be complicated is that there are so many facets; emotional boundaries, physical boundaries, relationships boundaries & time boundaries... just to name a few. I could write an entire blog post on each facet of boundaries. And maybe I will get to all the points eventually. When you are a momma you ...

Cheeseburger Bowls

New Recipe! Trying to get back on track with eating. I’ve been like a 12 year old in the gas station market since school has been out! I’m attempting to be more carb conscious again. So I thought I’d work up a new summer recipe. What says summer more than burgers?!? You can certainly go the more traditional route and just 86 the bun or wrap it in lettuce. I wanted something even easier and more time friendly. I notice in summer it becomes a buffet at dinner... eating between sports, activities etc. So being able to make a plate as you need is ideal. Ingredients: Ground beef (I used a pound...easy to adjust for more or less) Season beef with: garlic salt, pepper, onion powder and a couple of splashes of Worcestershire sauce Chopped Iceberg Lettuce Chopped Pickles Chopped Tomatoes Shredded Cheese (Chopped Onions would also be great... but my crew isn’t a big fan) Sesame Seeds *Really any toppings you love on top of a burger would be absolutely great! That is why ...
