1. Hats
After seeing sun cancer spots show up on several friends and family members, I have taken an almost Nazi approach to wearing hats outside. Is there sun? Wear a hat! Are there clouds? Wear a hat! You don't want to? I don't care. Wear a hat!
We found these hats for the boys at The Children's Place. They're comfortable, block the sun, and don't look dorky! (You know even though I'm not currently in 5th grade, I'm still extremely concerned about looking dorky.)
2. Banana Boat Ultra-Fine Mist Sunscreen
My life is so much easier now that I just have to spray 'em down. They think it's kind of fun, no one gets it rubbed in his or her eyes, and we don't get sunburned anymore. (Except when I forgot to put it on us the first day we were out in the sun. Oops.)
I couldn't live without it. I mean, maybe I could, but I definitely wouldn't want to. There are few things in my kitchen that are absolutely indispensable, but this is without a doubt one of them. It can mix anything, whip anything, knead bread dough (although I'm still a fan of kneading by hand. I love the feeling of dough under my hands!), and it does all of that without breaking a sweat. (You won't have to either!) Mine is candy-apple red, just like this one, and it even adds personality to my kitchen. Can you say the same about your electric hand mixer?!
4. Barefoot Moscato
I know, this isn't a blog about drinking. Generally, it's about poop. But at the end of a day filled with poop and craziness, there are few things that can make it all better like a nice glass of sweet wine. Pete, who is a self-professed non-wine-lover even loves this wine. We buy it at our local Sprouts for about $5 a bottle.
It's not an exhaustive list, but it's a start. Have a wonderful Tuesday, everyone!
So I didn't know Sprouts had a Moscato! I even asked one time, and they said they didn't carry it. So much for those people knowing what they carried. :) I second that recommendation, btw (although I've never tried Barefoot's). It's a great wine!
ReplyDeleteNow if only we could find a Kitchenaid mixer for the same price as a hand mixer...
