A Few of My Favorite Things

Do you have things that you use every day and LOVE? I mean can't live without kind of love. I do.

I can't start my day off without my Mr Coffee latte. My sister has a kick ass espresso machine that I have been so envious of but to poor cheap to buy, so when I found this for 35.00 at Target I jumped on it!

In order to make my perfect latte I need vanilla soy and Costco has the BEST deal on it and it is deeelish. With the vanilla soy you don't have to use any other sweeteners or syrups which is great and makes making a latte when your still half asleep a cake walk. Mmmm, cake.

Ok, next is something that I rave about on a regular basis. If your tired of hearing me go on about it, buy some yourself and then I'll listen to you go on about it. Melaleuca makes, without a doubt in my mind the BEST dishwashing soap on the planet. Trust me. My friend Trina and my Sister are both reps, so if you need a hook-up let me know.

Now for your dishwasher. First let me tell you a super cheap and easy peasy recipe for dishwashing powder. One tablespoon of Borax and one tablespoon of baking powder. Thats it. Make it in a big batch one to one and add two Tablespoons into each load of dishes. But, to finish you dishes off with a bang, use a Jet Dry hanging basket on the top shelf. I have to wear sunglasses to unload the dishwasher.

For quick clean up's in the kitchen and bathroom I can't live without Clorox wipes. WTH did our Grandmothers do without these little sheets of joy? I'm not even kidding you, I use a cotton dishcloth in my sink that I can throw in the wash each night and these little gems that I toss in the recycle bucket and I don't EVER have to touch a germy slimy disease ridden sponge. Ever.

This may be my very most favorite modern invention. Foaming toothpaste. If you don't have it, get it. Enough said.

My next favorite thing comes with a sad story. I have been following a wonderful blog for a couple of years now and have come to consider its author a friend. She has won a number of awards, including a reader's choice best blogs in the state of Oklahoma. Georgie makes me laugh and sometimes even makes me cry, but most of all I love the kindness and sincerity of her writing. Someone, for whatever reasons known only to them has "sabotaged" her blog by reporting it to Blogger as inappropriate, which blows my mind seven ways to Sunday. Georgie is appealing this with Blogger, but in the meantime when you log in to Decisionally Challenged you will be met with the internet version of yellow caution tape. If you don't already follow Georgie on Facebook, now would be the time to start. You will be able to get updates straight from Georgie and still follow along on her journeys.
