Happy last Saturday in August!

WHAT?! How did we get here? We were just celebrating the last day of school and here we are at Labor Day weekend. Time just keeps on marching, doesn’t it? I hope that you have a happy and safe weekend, enjoying some relaxation and getting to eat something yummy!

On Brown Eyed Baker This Week

Friday Things #585 – The first week of school, upcoming scans for Dominic, different cinnamon, glass Tupperware, being always reachable, groundhog videos, and more.

Most Popular Product Shares This Week:

1. Ello Oasis Tumbler with Retractable Straw - This blew my mind when I saw Angelina share it in her stories - when you turn the lid dial on top, the straw drops down and the little dial covers it.

2. Rubbermaid Brilliance Glass Food Storage Containers - I replaced most of our plastic tupperware with these glass containers a few years ago and I love them so, so much.

3. Large Square Jar - My go-to jar for stashing a batch of refrigerator bread and butter pickles.

4. Weekly Planner Notepad - I bought this last 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!

5. 28-Piece Birthday Candles Set - After being stuck a couple of times in recent months without two of the same number candle for when we celebrated birthdays at our house, I grabbed this set so I'll always have what we need!

6. Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro - We've had a version of this since before we had kids, and it is by far my favorite small kitchen appliance. We use it every day, multiple times a day; I can't recommend it enough.
