Hello and a happy Saturday to you!

It’s our last weekend before school starts and fall sports kick into gear – cross country, softball, baseball, hockey, oh my! I hope that you have a fabulous weekend in store!

On Brown Eyed Baker This Week

Friday Things #584ย – Time hacks, a grandma summer camp, happiness, fall food, kindness, TV, and more.

1.ย The Paradise Problemย โ€“ I finished this last week, and while I thought the initial premise was really far-fetched (I mean, it IS), I also enjoyed it. (Fair warning that there are a couple of spicy scenes.) I’d give it 4 stars.

2.ย Large Square Jarย โ€“ My go-to jar for stashing a batch ofย refrigerator bread and butter pickles.

3.ย Weekly Planner Notepadย โ€“ I bought this last November because, even though we have and use a Google calendar, apparently, if I donโ€™t look at it, I forget whatโ€™s going on. This has been SO helpful, I fill it out each week and put it on the fridge. Itโ€™s also been great because the kids have always routinely asked โ€œwhat do we have tomorrow?โ€ or โ€œis there anything going on after school todayโ€? Now itโ€™s all right there, and they look at it every day and know who has a practice or after-school activity, doctorโ€™s appointment, or anything else. I LOVE this!

4.ย 28-Piece Birthday Candles Setย โ€“ 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 Iโ€™ll always have what we need!

5.ย 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.

6. Rubbermaid Brilliance Glass Food Storage Containersย โ€“ I replaced most of our plastic tupperware with these glass containers a few years ago and I love them so, so much.

7. Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Proย โ€“ Weโ€™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 canโ€™t recommend it enough.
