These are a few of my favorite things!

In no particular order I thought I would take a few minutes to share some of my current favorite things! Who knows maybe this will inspire some of my blog friends to do the same (Hint, Hint) and we can all share our great ideas with each other!

I actually purchased this car seat canopy originally as a gift, but then I just couldn't part with it! It was purchased from a friend's Etsy Shop. I do have another one that is from here that I use a lot too!
Last week at MOPS we made this cleaner! I like it so much that I used the entire bottle and had to make more! Now I am not a real "green" person, but I am all about finding ways to save money! Seriously, you should all try this stuff!
So after weeks of thinking about it we purchased a Phil & Ted stroller. Four days later it was sitting our home all put together and we were off for our first ride in it! And then we went on another walk, and another walk, and another one! Conclusion WE LOVE IT!
Zach got this for Christmas this year from my cousin and it was a huge hit! This kids loves books and he "reads" to himself all the time, now he really can read to himself!
About a month before I had Molly I was talking to a friend and she said that with her next baby she was going to purchase one of these! So I started researching them and decided that it was worth a shot! After I had Zach the hospital sent me home with what they considering a "belly band" and well lets just say this was like heaven on earth compared to the one I used after Zach. It really was a huge help in me getting back up and around after my C-Section!
These are great!!!! Currently we only have three but even Josh likes them so I think a few more my be in our future. I got these from this etsy site, but there a several other shops that sell them. The big reason I picked these...they ZIP close! Most other use a velcro closure
I just got two of these (a black one and white one) last week and I already think I might need another one! You can find them here at Shade Clothing!
Last summer I went debated for months on getting Zach a pair of these and never really did anything about it. This year I was set on getting him a pair. It took a while but I watched Ebay for them like a hawk and ended up getting him a pair that were practically brand new for less then half of what I would have paid for them in the store! Zach has been wearing them for a little over a month and they are the BEST little boy sandals! I am sure that we will be purchasing another pair next summer!
These are a must have in our house! Zach has three of them! We hardly leave the house without one of these! Love them, love them, love them!

Target just had the nalgene bottles on sale for $5. I got one for each of the kids and they are awesome!

Great list Dana!

That c section recovery band looks awesome! I hated the hospital one and didn't wear it long. I also love those water bottles. Those reusable bags are nice! Also, that stroller is on my wish list for when we have no. 2 (hopefully soon!!) I am debating on that and the bob double stroller. I will make a favorites list soon! Fun post!!


I made one a few months ago....

so are you going to post the recipe for the cleaning solution for all of us?

Nevermind, I'm an idiot.

I love the nalgenes as well... we have a few for the kiddos in the cubbard as well... each in different colors of course! I also LOVE the half shirts-- so much more comfortable on hot days than a full tank or whatever!

You got the phil and ted as well? What do you love about it?
