one. before my dad arrived last week, parker got that above husky tool bucket thing all prepped full of his tools, in all the compartments, totally of his own accord. plopped it on the table like, “okay. now pop can come.” (my dad bought it for him.)
two. this sunless tanning lotion. i’m taking skincare SERIOUSLY now and wearing sunscreen (not for the first time ever or anything, but just trying to be more mindful) and blah blah blah so… sunless tanning it is. subtle. used it on my legs so far and don’t look orange! it didn’t make the list in this post but i’m telling ya, used it and like it.
three. after being out of the habit of home fries (well, habit is strong wordage. i used to make them at least once a month though?), i made them again saturday morning with some cheddar sprinkled on top of over easy fried eggs and YUM. handed the whole dish to steve who was busy grading papers and he practically leapt out of his chair. safe to say we love home fries and eggs.
four. lindsey’s made this zucchini bread a few times and while on the healthy side it is soooo delicious. tip: add chocolate chips to the batter but then add a few on the very top once it’s already poured in the loaf pan so they sort of sit on top through the whole baking process instead of all of them sinking to the bottom.
five. anders’ profile. what is it about a baby’s profile? especially when he’s concentrating and his lips are all pouty. i seriously want to smooch them constantly.
six. bachelorette is on tonight. bachelorette is on tonight!!! if this list only had one item on it, this would be it. it’s silly how much i love that show. almost as much as grace. almost.
seven. the lilacs i’m smelling in my yard. i can also see them from parker’s room window. there’s something so lovely about that. i point them out to him, as well as the sound of the birds chirping that i can sometimes hear even as i put him to bed. oh i love that sound!
eight. this clay. using it for blackheads on my forehead (i hate them!!) and i think it’s making a difference.
nine. the new snapchat old face filter. been having a little too much fun with it. both posting on snapchat or recording ridiculous ones to send to friends.
ten. this top. i’m obsessed with the cut of it.
Lilacs are literally the best smell in the world. Jealous of you having them right in your backyard!!
PLEASE recap the Bachelorette this season. PLEASE!
But there are people who are SO MUCH FUNNIER than me who are already doing it!! We'll see…
A dusting of flour on the chocolate chips helps keep them from sinking. Doesn't ALWAYS work, but is worth a try: http://dish.allrecipes.com/keep-chocolate-chips-sinking-cake/
1) So excited about the bachelorette too!
2) You probably feel biased, but you are right in that Anders is really one of the cutest little babes I have seen. That face is just so adorable.
I remember reading your hash brown – err, I mean home fries post when you originally posted it and thinking, I MUST MAKE THESE. And then I forgot all about it. But reading it again, we MUST have these for dinner tonight. YUM!
