I always enjoy hearing what works for other people and I like sharing things I like, it's part of the reason I have a blog. I've been doing these monthly posts for 10 years and they also provide a nice little snapshot in my life at a moment in time! See more here! Some affiliate links may be included!
This is no longer available at Target but it is my favorite thing I bought this month so it has still earned it's spot. I've started hanging a wreath on our mudroom door, protected from the elements since it's in the mudroom, but also our main entrance from the garage. So for the last year I've been accumulating different seasonal wreaths and Halloween was about the last one I didn't have. I REALLY wanted a felt ghost one since the felt ones are lightweight (I have a few others like it). Target didn't seem to be selling one and so I bought 2 others from then which both were pretty heavy. THEN...the day I hung up my 2nd one purchased...I searched Target one last time and this one came up. I ordered that sucker so fast and then returned the one that had briefly (with the tags on) hung on our door. It's everything I wanted in a $5 fall ghost wreath and is very light (these hang from a command hook). It's nice that Target decided to sell the exact thing I wanted.
Seasonal decor, particularly Christmas, is always one of the areas where I am the least minimal. This was another new purchase this year and it's very pretty. A nice medium size pumpkin and beautiful blue color. I am ALWAYS looking for ways to get more blue into my house and blue goes so well with my orange pumpkins!
About a year ago I was putting together a box of utilities type items to take on our camping trips. One thing I bought for that was a dedicated pair of scissors. Originally because we always need to cut the excess off our mandated bracelets at Jellystone but they have turned out to be super handy many other times as well! Since it was a 2 pack I hung the other (with a command hook) near our deep freezer, mainly to cut open bags of frozen chicken when I go down to weigh out some for supper. Those have turned out to be mostly used to cut open popsicles. And then I bought ANOTHER two set when I broke an old pair of scissors in our kitchen and every time I use those, I am reminded at how much better these scissors are than the very old ones we had been using in there. Or maybe those just needed sharpened?? I don't know, they completely broke beyond repair and these have proven very useful all over.
Our oldest got braces about 2 months ago and one thing they recommended was getting a Waterpik in order to save him from flossing with floss every single day (a giant pain around braces). Matt picked one up at Costco and it turns out we ALL like using it. We have interchangable heads so nobody is sharing the part you actually put in your mouth but are all using the same machine. I don't remember every night but probably 4-5 nights a week. My mouth does always feel cleaned afterwards (we are also, obviously, still brushing as well). I don't floss often with my permanent retainer and this has helped my teeth stay a bit cleaner!
5) The Perfect Couple (Netflix)
I have read every single one of Elin Hilderbrand's books and while this one wouldn't be my first pick to adapt for screen, I have enjoyed seeing that world come to life (even though they apparently did very little filming actually on Nantucket, which just seems wrong). I even got MATT to watch this with me even though it's very much not the type of thing he'd normally want to watch (it was mostly due to lack of better options). We are 4/6 through it right now and I still don't remember who did the killing, even though I read the books shortly after it came out (I read A LOT of books). Just fun besides the someone died part.
