Top 5 Most Popular Posts This Week:
1. Copycat Chipotle Chicken Recipe
Most Popular Product Shares This Week:
1. Large Square Jar – My go-to jar for stashing a batch of refrigerator bread and butter pickles.
2. “Nantucket Breeze” Jigsaw Puzzle – My current puzzle! (And don’t forget the puzzle board with drawers – my husband got it for me a few years ago and I can’t imagine doing a puzzle without it now!)
3. TYMO Automatic Rotating Curling Iron – I bought this a few months ago after seeing a Facebook ad and wasn’t sure if it would actually work well, but oh my goodness, this is AMAZING. I am so bad at curling my own hair, and this makes it easy and effortless; I don’t curl my hair often, but I’ve used this three times now and I’m so happy I bought it!
4. 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!
5. Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray – A prime day purchase for me, love the little oomph it gives my hair without being stiff or too drying.
6. Bamboo Drawer Dividers – LOVE these for organizing the kids’ drawers. When they were little I used those little canvas boxes, which worked for baby/toddler sized things, but they had long outgrown them, and I finally grabbed these a month or so ago. They work perfectly and they were all so excited to keep things more tidy in their drawers.
7. It’s a 10 Miracle Leave-In – I’ve used this for years but ran out recently and thought I’d try to get by without it; nope, I could tell a huge difference!
8. GoMacro Bars – I’ve been loving these (specifically the oatmeal chocolate chip flavor) for a quick breakfast on the go or a snack in the afternoon.
9. 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.
10. 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.
