My baby boys favorite snack!

 

My youngest kiddo’s favorite snack?  Well, when we went to Korea, as a family, in 2013 an ajumma fed him some anchovies.  They were dried and we were all kinda….well not feeling it like he was. Ever since then he’s asked for them but we live in small town with an Asian market about 40 minutes away. But I look every time I go. In 10 years I’ve never found them until this weekend. They had dried, seasoned anchovies and he was in Heaven. He had them opened so fast I didn’t have my camera out because I was still putting the other items away. All I hard was the crack of the container and then a low, “mmmmm”. He finished them the same day.  They smelled so bad to me but he LOVES them. 

True Korean kid. He loves his gojuchang spice and anchovies. 

Rock this and paper towel holder

He wanted paper towels handy when we eat out by the pool, which is often.  So I found this holder for $10 and you can either stick it or screw it.  Our bar slats weren’t very thick and the screws that came with it were too long and would have gone through. I have quite the collection of screws if the sticky tape doesn’t hold so I’m not too worried just trying this first.  Sticky tape it is….for now. 

It’s now been up for several days and it’s been hot and humid   The tape hasn’t let go AND the paper towels haven’t unrolled  love this!

You rock Drew!

 

Such an example for mid aged women everywhere. It’s kind of impossible to live up to the Barbie images most models and celebs portray.  So hearing one say hey I’m just going to embrace my grey and whatever else comes is so welcomed to this almost 50 year old woman.  She’s not saying to hell with yourself, let it all go. She’s saying you don’t have to do Botox and have lifts and other surgeries to look younger.  Try to eat well, throw in some exercise but if things aren’t perfect embrace them,  

Thanks Drew!

Best ambience decor

 

I still love these Amazon purchases so much. From my plug in candles to my fairy lights that go at the base of my faux palm and into my little sea shell lantern. They both are on timer but they’re so pretty at night.

So much accomplished on a hot Saturday

 I got my new Kasa motion switch installed for my pantry closet so we can see inside the pantry.  And then off to Lowe’s to get a garden box and some soil to transplant the tomatoes and peppers. For whatever reason they’ve not been happy in our raised bed so I had heard good things about this and had to try.  We’ll see how it goes.  The husband wants to put strawberries in the old raised bed next year so we will give it a try before leveling it.  I like the idea of how the garden box works. We shall see. 

After planting we jumped in for a swim and had friends over  some stayed to watch another Cardinals game  

I LOVE productive yet relaxing days  

I’ll post more on the garden box at a later date. 

Your chance to get that switch!

 

Kasa smart motion switch here!

These are some of those Kasa switches that I’m always talking about.  Extremely awesome price today. Likely won’t return. Can’t wait to install mine in the pantry!
