random stuff i like lately: part 2

My sister Amy introduced this lipstuff to me. I decided it would be a need during this dry wintertime season. Well… I couldn’t find it anywhere, so I decided to do subscribe and save on Amazon. Now I have 12 … plus, they were cheap. My favorite use for the ointment is for all those splits and cracks on the tips of my fingers. It heals much better than neosporin.

Speaking of dry skin… this has always been a favorite thick cream for hands and heels. You only need just a dab. Plus, I love that it’s Norwegian which reminds me of my heritage. Love that!

My 375 Watt 11-year-old Kitchenaid is dying. The motor sounds very sad. I was really wanting to try a Bosch mixer to make bread… but considering Amazon had this 6 qt 600 watt Professional Kitchenaid for $186 on Cyber Monday, I decided I couldn’t stand to buy the Bosch for $400. I’m hoping I’ll love it for the next 10 years.  Happy Anniversary, Merry Christmas, and Happy Birthday to me.  Thanks Jimmy!

I just love these darling water bottles from Lifefactory. I don’t really own one, but aren’t they fun. I’m torn – I like that they are glass so you really could sterilize it well… but I don’t like that they are glass because I know they would be heavy and possibly breakable.

Last night I went to Home Depot to pick out paint for a DIY dresser redo. Do you know how many colors of white there are? A lot. Looking at all the colors and buying paint delights me. A fresh coat of paint… a new color… a clean surface… it’s just fun. Makes me want to repaint my entire house – just kidding Jimmy!

Speaking of color… this week I saw some pictures on the computer of green grass from summertime. Green. It reminded me that the earth is not green right now… at least in my part of the world. It’s gray and shabby. I already miss green and we still have months and months of winter.

Aren’t you proud of me for not even spotlighting any food items today?

Isn’t this smiley cute. Adios for now.

    NOOOO!!! I wish you had posted this yesterday, I have been looking for a kitchenaid I can’t believe I didn’t think to check amazon! And I definitely understand the whole tons of colors of white. We have been looking into painting our baseboards (right now they are a weird warm grey color I personally don’t like) and our walls are a heavy yellowish off white (still technically white – what!?!?!) and so we’re looking for a lighter shade of white that will compliment it and I was so overwhelmed at the millions of whites!

    Love that picture of your kids with all the green! Where in the world is that field? It is amazing! And such a cute action photo. Love it! Can I come visit you and take our kids there to roll down next summer? !! I am really missing things like that. So glad you got such a good deal on your Kitchen aid! Deals like that are too good to pass up! Did you get one in that fun deep red color? Mmmm!
