They said 2021 was gonna be better...

 I feel like I have a LOT of lemonade sitting around from all of the lemons life has been giving us lately. But, I’m not going to complain. We’re all in this together, and I am grateful for so much. 

1) I know the last time I shared a hack some of y’all loved it! So just wait til you hear about this hack for my Keurig with these felt furniture pads. I’d give credit for it, but I can’t remember where on IG I saw it. If you stick felt pads underneath your Keurig it slides back and forth on the counter easily (like it’s on a pull out shelf). Slide it out when using it or filling it with water, and slide it back when not in use. I did this to both of our Keurigs and it is FANTASTIC. It’s the little things...

2) I am an excellent grilled cheese maker. I thought it was because of my secret ingredient (Havarti cheese), but now I think it’s my skills. During the snowstorm/power outages I sent Walt to the grocery store for white bread and Havarti cheese. He came home with artisan bread and smoked Gouda slices. That is all the store had. We were lucky to get that! So...I felt a little skeptical, but I gave it a go. It was EXCELLENT! Very very good! I highly recommend Smoked Gouda Grilled Cheese Sandwiches.

3) I am loving my Bright Blue Nail Color. It makes me happy as well as being a conversation starter! Fun for a change.

4) Behind Her Eyes is a limited series (I think six episodes) on Netflix. I read the book back in 2017 and recommended it to several friends. The twist is so shocking that I couldn’t forewarn my friends. Some of you really really liked the book (as did I) and some of you thought I lost my mind! When I saw it had been made into a miniseries I was like: Hmmm, is this the same as that book I read? Indeed it is! I’m not sure if it was less shocking because I knew what was happening or because I was seeing it instead of reading it. Nevertheless, it was VERY good! I enjoyed it!

I’ll keep on making lemonade, and be grateful for the opportunity. Happy Wednesday! Stay safe, stay strong!

Friday Faves

  While I did get some random submissions for Faves this week (Larry’s will never happen), I remained on my own. 1) SHOWKOO Luggage Set  I got this luggage set for my upcoming trip (we leave Sunday) because I need to take the carry on and the duffle with me on the plane. I’m trying this duffle in lieu of my usual backpack. I’m excited about it, and hope it’s still a favorite after the trip! 2) Survivor Season 48  While it wasn’t our favorite season premiere, we LOVE Survivor in this house and we love watching it together! 3) Govee Lights  We recently added a bar in our house and my contractor made this light box and used Govee lights. We already have Govee lights around our TV so I was familiar with them and I love them! They can change colors, be put on a timer, etc., all from my phone. There’s a little glitch with this set, so they are going to be replaced, but they still make me squeal every time I walk into the room. 4) Shut the Box Game  My family, as usual...

  Finally home and settled from our Australia/New Zealand adventure. My Faves this week were awesome for me while traveling! 1) Power Plug Adapter  We have used many different plug adapters while traveling, but these were the best we have used! With one adapter we were able to charge everything and I could even curl my hair, ha, ha! Highly recommend! These were compatible in Australia/New Zealand, so I’m hopeful to find some for our next travel adventure, 2) Rothy’s Sneakers  I may have posted these before, but I love love love them when traveling. I own two pair and took them both with me.  3) One Step Behind by Lauren North  I listened to this book (and two others) while on this trip. I had never listened to a book by this author, and I really enjoyed the book. Unique plot for sure. 4) Coach Sling Bag  This might be my favorite of all Faves! I purchased this specifically for my trip to wear on tours/excursions, and I loved it! It has two zippered compartm...

Friday Faves Cabo Edition

Image
Today I’m in Cabo, traveling with my little Andy for the first time. Doing my Faves while he naps.   1) The Business Trip by Jessie Garcia  I’m not even sure how I found this book, and it seems to be the first one she’s written, but it was SO good! I listened to it and there was a full cast of narrators so it was like a performance. Loved the ending! Thought I had it figured out but I was wrong. 2) happyhappyhouseplant on IG  This is my current favorite account on IG. Her name is Mandi Gubler and she is awesome! I literally do not have one live plant in my house, but I’m obsessed with her and almost feel like I could try one! What I like best about her is that her IG stories aren’t long, and she’s very informative and encouraging. Some people I follow go on and on and tell you every minute of their day. I don’t take the time to listen to those people anymore. Highly recommend @happyhappyhouseplant on IG! 3) Apple Watchband from Quince  I love this silver watchband. I...
