It's time for my monthly favorites!

Here is everything we've used and loved lately…

Food

Nature Valley Almond Butter Biscuits – I discovered these back in the fall after Isabelle got her expander, as I was looking for something to replace chewier granola bars she could no longer have. The kids love these and I find them totally delicious! I buy a big box from Costco, but you can get a smaller box from Target.

Utz Mini Twist Pretzels – My new favorite pretzels! I asked my husband to grab these on a whim when he was getting some things from Sam’s Club and I love them so much! They’re not heavy or too buttery (I don’t like either when it comes to pretzels) and are the perfect snack.

Dove Milk Chocolate – My very favorite chocolates to keep on hand for a little sweet bite. I prefer milk chocolate, but they come in dark chocolate, too.

Clothes/Beauty

Neutrogena Hand Cream – My kids have all had the flu over the past six weeks or so, and this cream is forever saving my hands since I’m washing them a billion times a day. I’ve used it every winter since 7th grade! The only thing that truly helps the cracked skin on my hands and fingers.

New Balance Classics 327 – When we talked at the end of January, I mentioned finding and loving a pair of Brooks sneakers after trying on tons of pairs. I wanted to grab another pair that would look a little “nicer” if I was wearing sneakers somewhere (while the Brooks are SO comfortable, I find them to be a bit clunky looking), and I landed on these New Balance ones. They are incredibly comfortable, and I love the look!

Fleece Lined Leggings – While spring is around the corner, I am still 100% in my warm and cozy season; I grabbed these after Christmas and LOVE them. They are warm, soft, and cozy; I am 5’1 and got the 29-inch length and they fit me absolutely perfectly.

House

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!

Birdfy Smart Bird Feeder – We got this bird feeder for my father-in-law for Christmas and then marveled at all the birds he was able to see, so I ended up getting the same one for my husband for his birthday earlier this month. It has been AMAZING! There are so many birds that visit the feeder, and we are able to watch from our kitchen window, but the bird feeder also includes a camera, so you can watch a feed of the birds, which is phenomenal. One of our little bluejay buddies:

Kids

Honest Hair Detangler – I’m not sure that I’ve ever mentioned this before, but I’ve been using it for Isabelle’s hair for at least a couple of years now (I just got more so was reminded of it!). It does such a great job of detangling and making combing/brushing after a shower much easier. It smells fabulous, too!

Welly Bandages – We recently ran out of kid bandages for the first time in at least two years and I bought this big variety pack. I’ve used them on myself in a pinch when I’m out of the house (I keep one of their on-the-go first aid kits in my purse) and I feel like they stay on better than a lot of other brands!
