Summer Faves

Here are a few more Summer Faves today:

1) Hello Fresh Honey BBQ Pork Chops We don’t do Hello Fresh every week anymore, but still do enjoy it. After visiting my friend in KC and seeing how she uses Hello Fresh, I’m going to be using it more. It’s so nice not going out every night. Anyway, this meal of Honey BBQ Pork Chops, Mashed Sweet Potatoes, and Green Beans (I roasted ours) may be one of our favorite all time Hello Fresh meals. It was SO good! 

2) Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan on Prime Video We were a bit behind on this series, only completing Seasons 1 and 2, but we were caught up on all of our other shows so I came across this. We finished Seasons 3 and 4 in about a week (another reason for us eating at home so we could watch this 😂) and last night, when I told Walt we were completely finished with the “Final Season”, he was so bummed. He loved this series!

3) Special Ops: Lioness This is the other show we are watching, but we are caught up and having to wait until Sundays for the next episode. Normally, I don’t love “macho” women characters, but I really like this show! I think it’s on Paramount+ but we watch through Prime Video. Highly recommend!

4) Rachio 3 Smart Sprinkler Controller My friends Mona and Kim told me about this while in Cabo, and I ordered immediately for Walt. We got it installed this week (on MY phone of course 😂 the gift to Walt that keeps on giving) and it’s so cool! You control your sprinklers from your phone, it anticipates weather and adjusts accordingly. I think we are really going to love it!

Have a great weekend! P.S. Somebody (named “me”) is celebrating her 35th Wedding Anniversary this Sunday!

  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

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...
