some of my recent favorite things


          • homemade pita chips: pita bread (i use the real stuff, not that fluffy pocket bread crap most stores call pita bread, but you could probably separate that stuff into halves so its thinner & then use it) cut into 8ths, like a pizza, then brushed (both sides) with olive oil & i sprinkle greek seasoning over it, but you could use salt & pepper, garlic salt or mrs. dash & it would pry be equally good. then they're baked for 5 minutes at 400. soooooo good! they've been replacing chips in our house (way less fat & other nasty stuff) & even N likes them.

          • roasted tomatoes & garlic: a big craving of mine lately. i make this all summer with tomatoes from our garden, but lately i've been buying the pints of grape tomatoes so i can make this at least once a week. slice some garlic, & toss that in with the tomatoes & olive oil until they're all coated, then pour into a baking dish & sprinkle with salt & pepper. (sometimes i throw on italian seasoning, but usually just salt & pepper) & bake in the oven for 20 minutes at 400, until the skins wrinkle & split. yum, yum, & yum. we just had these last night & i already want more....

          • dove's nutrium body wash. i love this stuff!!!! i'm all dry & itchy (stupid stretchy pregnancy skin!) & this stuff rocks-- it's sooooo nice, you barely need lotion afterwards.

          • my kids' new mozart music cube. the dudes love it, & it doesn't have that super annoying electronic beeping music that most musical toys do.

          • IBC rootbeer. it's delicious. nuff said.

          • boogie wipes. they really do work, they smell great, & the boys complain a bit less about having their faces wiped since they're so soft. & they're just saline, so they don't mess with conrad's skin.

          • method tub & tile spray cleaner. it's a "green" bathroom cleaner that actually works as well as the chemical ones-- i am VERY excited about this one. & it even smells nice.

          any new (or old) fav finds you want share?

          (& i promise birthday pics are coming, i just haven't uploaded anything yet!)

          1. Ohhh IBC rootbeer is SOOOO good. Sadly I am allergic to plant used to make root beer so I only drink sips on rare occasions or I get migraines. BOO!

            Anyways...I will give this a shot.

            Definitely loving Tracy's food blog! I have popped over there for ideas when I can't figure out what to make for the week. SO far I have used her meatball recipe, which is much easier than the one I usually used, and tasted just as yummy! I have also made the ranch chicken recipe and parm. fries recipe. Thanks Tracy! LOL

            Breastflow bottles. These are the only bottles Eli will take. They are much more boob like than regular bottles. We don't do bottles much, but we try to get him to take one every few days so he gets used to them and like I said, these are the only ones he will take.

            Our baby bouncy seat...for Noah. I got it out a few weeks ago for Eli and Noah took it over. But if he is in a mood and I need a few minutes to feed Eli or do housework I can get it down and he will sit in it for 20-30 minutes just bouncing himself.
