a few of our favorite things...

these plates and bowls are so cute AND super sturdy. they're by skiphop, who makes the boys' backpacks. we've yet to have a dumped over plate or spilled bowl of cereal.

our sippy cups were in sad shape so over christmas these tommee tippee cups found their way into our cabinets. i LOVE the colors and designs on them...all the boys' favorites! what i really love is that they don't leak. so glad we found these! also, we have some of their straw cups which are great as well, just a bit difficult assembling the pieces.

we LOVE coffee in our home. we have 100% made the switch to a french press. lane found some yummy hazelnut coffee by eight o'clock coffee that we just ground at the store. it's comprable to panera's hazelnut, my absolute favorite! however, we've drank it everyday for the past 5ish months and were beginning to get burned out. i don't always love starbuck's coffee as it can be too strong...and i like it strong! but when my mimi was here last month with her keurig, she had some of this blonde coffee that she made each day and it was so good. so this week i went and got us some. let's just say i couldn't wait to wake up the past few mornings (i only have one caffeinated drink a day) so i could have a cup! it's perfect!

i couldn't leave knox out. these are his passies of choose! we grew up on mams so that's what i introduced to canon and he loved them. i tried a couple different brands on ledger. he had just decided he didn't need a passy. with knox, i grabbed these avents, mostly because i liked the way they looked! he took right to them in the hospital. i've since tried some mams we had that ledger wouldn't take and knox def prefers the avents. love a baby and their passy!

(my flash made my carpet look funny!) LOVE these!! i still love looking at the art supply aisles at the store. the boys got an art desk for christmas so we've been stocking it. i came across these amazing MESS FREE, color wonder products. i don't like messes or having to always supervise simple projects so these have won my vote. i do have to keep the special paper out of reach for sake of conserving...learned my lesson fast! the wonderful thing is that my kids love these just as much as i do...for different reasons, i'm sure!

we've certainly enjoyed the movies cupid brought us a few weeks ago. i think after the toy story series, wall-e is my 2nd favorite! i'm surprised it holds the boys' attention as well as it does, but they love it as well. and harry potter? lane and i just enjoy them so much!

this shampoo rocks! every year for my birthday, my dad gets me a big 'ol salon shampoo and conditioner that lasts me the whole year. last time i got my haircut, my hairdresser used this and i fell in love with the scent. i don't like smelly or smelless shampoo!

and lastly, this yummy stuff was just discovered by lane this past week and he is hooked. he's been off pop for awhile and always tries whatever isn't carbonated. somehow he's never gotten chick-fil-a's lemonade, but that all changed. it's def his favorite right now! he even made some of his own last night after searching the internet for the secret recipe (although, sugar, lemons and water don't seem so secret!).

I might have to give those sippy cups a try! Hannah's begun purposely turning her cups upside down, making her milk or water spill all over the place.

I have used some of that brand of shampoo and I liked it. I always wondered about the other ones they had, so I may have to try! I'm getting low, and pureology is just too pricey!! I love it though!
