Things I love right now

In the spirit of love, how about I share some things I’m loving right now? I know, not a traditional Valentine’s Day post, so if you’d rather read about about how my husband and I went on our first date 26 years ago (!!!) today, that story is also available here. 

5 Dinners 1 Hour – I like this meal-planning subscription because it helped inspire me for meals that can be prepped and then stored for cooking later in the week. I liked the Buffalo Chicken Sliders, Cheesy Garlic Bread, and Mississippi Pot Roast. Other recipes need to be tweaked some if I’m going to make them again, but I’ve been inspired for sure! I have Honey Garlic Meatballs, Slow-Cooked Salsa Verde Chicken, and Baked Zucchini Ziti on the upcoming menu too. Want to try it?

Birkenstock sandals – I realize I’m late to this party. But I got a DSW gift card for Christmas, and this is what I used it for. I’m ready for spring weather so I can wear them. No, I don’t want to wear them with socks like the really cool kids. 

Book of the Month – I go through phases with this, which is good because credits roll over from month to month and don’t expire. I’ve gotten some good books lately: First Lie Wins, The Other Mothers, Ready or Not. Next up: The Women. 

Dawn EZ Squeeze – Yeah, dish soap. But I love the bottle that allows me to get every drop of soap and leaves no mess on my counter. And it’s available in Pomegranate and Rose Water scent, whatever that means! 

Walmart+ – I know, I keep mentioning this, but I can’t get over the convenience. One of my teenagers eats at least one applesauce pouch EVERY SINGLE DAY, but she wants applesauce that’s just apples and cinnamon. No lemon juice or apple concentrate. Walmart carries the ones that pass all her qualifications, but the store has been out of them. BUT I GET THEM SHIPPED FOR FREE. 

(Also – here’s a whole Walmart storefront of many more things I love!)

What are you loving these days?
