Happy Saturday to you!

I hope that you have a great (and wonderfully relaxing) weekend! Today is my husband’s birthday, and my father-in-law’s birthday was earlier this week, so we’re celebrating today with fettuccine alfredo and chocolate cake :)

Most Popular Product Shares This Week:

1. Color Wow Dream Cocktail - 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. Aquaphor Lip Repair Stick - This continues to be my very favorite lip balm, and the kids use it, too.

3. Le Creuset Enameled Round 7.5-Quart Dutch Oven - Hands down, my favorite pot! I use this for everything from chili, chicken and dumplings, spaghetti sauce, and no-knead bread to beef stew and buttermilk fried chicken.

4. Weekly Planner Notepad - 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!

5. Large Silicone Dough Mat - I LOVE having a big dedicated silicone mat just for rolling out dough and the one I have has the measurement markings both along the edges and in circles in the middle, perfect for pies, cut-out sugar cookies, pizza dough, and any pastry dough. Can't recommend this enough! (Currently over 50% off)

6. Dishwashing Gloves - 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!

7. Angel Food Cake Pan - I've had this pan for almost 10 years and it's my very favorite for making homemade angel food cake.
