I’m loving…
my new pressure cooker!
It’s the appliance I never knew I was missing. It was a Christmas gift, so I didn’t know much about them prior to receiving it, but now I’m fascinated with it’s ability to quickly cook rice and beans and can’t wait to explore some of the recipes from this site.
I’m NOT loving…
Koda’s sneaky ways of finding Hailey’s toys and claiming them as her own. But once her slobber is all over them, what is a mom to do but to let her play?
I’m loving…
CILANTRO. For some reason I just can’t get enough.
I’m NOT loving…
Annie’s Goddess dressing. I recently tried it because I hear so many people love it. Me? Eh, not a fan.
I’m loving…
the one arm swaddle for Hailey’s nap times. SO far- success!
I’m NOT loving…
That I think we’ve hit 4 month sleep regression. Down at 7:45, awake at 3:45, 4:45 and 6:15. Um, what happened to my super sleeper? Luckily she is waking up, but going right back down once I put the paci in her mouth and hit the noise machine.
I’m Loving…
Smart Chicken… ON SALE!
This never happens. I may or may not have bought 5 packs to freeze. I also met and bonded with a new friend over our excitement of the sale. We exchanged phone numbers. No, I’m not joking.
I’m loving…
Lemon diffused water! Another fabulous Christmas gift. It adds just enough lemon-y zest to make it addicting. And it looks pretty, too.
What is one thing you are or are NOT loving on this fabulous Friday?

Haha, I love that you met someone over chicken in the grocery store. That sounds like something that would happen in a movie. I have like no friends nearby, maybe I need to hang out in the poultry section?
Me Neither! They have all moved
Sucks!! Maybe I’ll go hang out in the grocery store 
Great sale! I love finding sales and couponing! I am loving that today is my 5 year wedding anniversary!
Aw, happy anniversary! 5 years and going strong!
I am LOVING that I found FAGE yogurt for .49 cents today at Kroger! Of course it was expiring but I secretly know it won’t go bad before I consume it’s yumminess~
I don’t like Annie’s Goddess dressing either, thought it tasted funky! I love how you exchanged numbers with someone you met at the grocery store. Shows how friendly you must be!
You now have me loving the fact that I can go to Teeters and get Smart Chicken on sale- heading there now! Also where did you get the lemon pitcher…. love this idea and have never seen it… where have I been?
Omg I need that water diffuser thing! Amazing! And hailey is so adorable in that swaddle haha
I HATE the goddess dressing too! Glad I’m not the only one.
I bought that dressing too and thought it was horrible.
Lately what I’m loving is the bond I feel with new moms and majorly pregnant women. I feel like I’m in a new club.
I also love the nutella that my mom bought me for Xmas. She got the one in the glass jar imported from Italy, and it’s heaven!
It does kind of feel like a club, doesn’t it? A club that holds their meetings at 3am when no one can sleep- haha
Love this post!
It’s been so busy & everyone is sick. I can’t wait for the weekend.
I am not loving work this week.
I am NOT loving that i had to work all night sick, and now have a day of errand ahead of me with no sleep. Cranky Sarah.
Smart Chicken sale! Yew! I hope I didn’t miss it. I was planning on hitting up HT this weekend. As for the goddess dressing, I haven’t tried that one. I’ve only tried TJ’s, but I guess if you do/don’t like one, you’d like/not like the other.
your food pics are so pretty! makes me hungry!
I love this list…I am not loving the Biscoff spread that a lot of people are talking about. Did nothing for me.
At least my husband liked it!
Haha, that’s too funny you made a friend over the excitement of chicken on sale! Nice!
love your grocery story. that is an excellent deal on the smart chicken!
happy friday!
That lemon water pitcher is gorgeous!!! That can do double duty at the dinner table as a centerpiece and a beverage!!
Thanks for posting the pressure cooker link – I got one for our wedding and haven’t used it yet! (1.5 years ago!)
The fact that you exchanged #’s with someone while buying chicken makes me love you just a little bit more. Haha!
pull it out of hiding- I’m loving the pressure cooker! Can’t wait to see you next week
Loving that it’s Friday! It was a short week, but it was a doozie. Also loving that I’m trying to fully avoid HFCS and most processed foods in 2012, and so far success! Pretty sure that one week is the longest any of my resolutions have ever lasted, but I’m proud to say I think I’ll be able to keep this going!!
What a great goal- congrats on doing so well on it!
Now that I’m pregnant (huge smile!), I am loving carbs and anything salty/crunchy, and not loving salads or sweets. Completely opposite from the norm! So strange how that happens!
I can see your glow through your comment
Still so excited for you!
Thanks Brittany! And I have to thank you for all of your great pregnancy posts (and post-baby, too!) as they are providing tons of great tips for me already! I am enjoying reading them again… I even mentioned the whole fro-yo debate to my doctor and she had never heard of that! I educated her.
I do not like Goddess dressing either. I actually tried some out at a restaurant when I was preggo and I almost puked. On the other hand… I’m obsessed with Cilantro too. I don’t get how some people think it tastes like soap??
I love that you shared that sale on Smart Chicken! I am heading to Harris Teeter ASAP!
ooo. I’m loving the lemon water pitcher. We have a huge Brita in the fridge and I keep a bottle of lemon juice next to it so I can squirt it into my water bottles as I’m filling them. That pitcher looks so much easier!!
Waking up to snow! But, I’m loving that we leave for the beach tomorrow and my sparkly flip flops were the first thing I saw this morning, sitting on top of my suitcase! Have a great Friday and loved your lists!
Loving then I get to start moving into our new house
Not loving that we can’t sell our condo 
Also, the grouchy buyers on e-bay that think you control the mail…wake up people! Just had to vent 
PS Please spill where to get that water pitcher 
New house!!! That’s so exciting. Even though it’s hard work, I love the excitement of moving into a new place
PS- get the pitcher here: http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?SKU=17087690
I totally agree with not loving the sleep regression…it really isn’t that our lil’ one is waking up per se, but crying in her sleep enough to wake me up and have to go in multiple times to give her her fa (what we call a paci) and then I am AWAKE!
Britt– I got the diffuser pitcher for Christmas too. I LOVE it. You can do more than just lemons– I have tried blackberries, a berry combo (strawberries, blackberries, blueberries), oranges, cucumbers– all yummy!
..oh, and I love that you exchanged phone numbers in the grocery store.
that berry blend sounds delicious!! I’ve been wanting to try a cucumber and mint combo, but berries may win out…
Ahhh the lemon water thing! My Mom had this same one in her fridge at Christmas and I couldn’t stop drinking it. I am not normally a lemon-in-my-water type of girl but this was delicious. I seriously had to keep refilling it because I was drinking it all/ was being a terrible sharer
I am loving that water pitcher!! Where did you get it?!
I got it from Santa, but m mom told me Santa found it at BB&B

HATE the Goddess Dressing I tried it after a bunch of bloggers started raving about it. YUCK I don’t like it. I’m also on a cilantro kick makes everything taste so fresh and zesty.
I’m loving the new playlist I made for the gym this week. It’s kept me motivated for those 45 min cardio sessions!
ahaha. I really like the shot of you staring adoringly at the pressure cooker. and I had an issue with dog toys vs. baby toys when my almost 1-year-old niece came to visit…. oopsies.
I’m with ya on the Annie’s Goddess dressing. I tried that stuff a year ago when I saw it plastered all over the blogs and thought I was weird for not “getting it”.
I’m loving a new tea I found, called Bentley’s White Tea in Ginger Peach. It’s comfort in a cup.
Annie’s Goddess dressing does have a very strong flavor. I like to take about half a serving and mix it with an equal portion of vinegar to lighten it up a bit.
What’s “smart” about your chicken? Besides the sale price of course. Is it organic? Local?
ps Please tell us more about your pressure cooker! I’m totally interested!
I’ll blog about the pressure cooker soon- it’s a pretty cool toy!… I mean appliance
And yes, the smart chicken is antibiotic free, free range, etc- and it tastes better, too! It would even be better if it was local, but it isn’t.
OO I love the look of that lemony water thing! And I agree, Hailey is adorable in that one armed swaddle.. sounds like her pirate name.
Have you seen pressure cooker diaries? (http://www.pressurecookerdiaries.com)
She’s got some really fun videos and cool pressure cooker recipes!
oh, thanks for sharing! I have to go check it out
I love the story of the new chicken friend!!! That is FANTASTIC!!!! Oh Koda!!!
Love the photo of her on her back. Neva does that to get our attention and we call it her “floating otter” pose. Have a great day Brittany.
the floating otter- that’s adorable!
The photo of you gazing lovingly at your pressure cooker is priceless! Thank you for the link. I’m looking forward to reading more of your adventures with your new kitchen paramour.. er pressure cooker!
OMGosh, my kids never looked so organized when they were 4 months old! They were either bursting out of the swaddle or crumpled in bed next to a passed-out mamma with a breast hanging in their face.
My first stopped crying and started sleeping through the night at 4 months (that is very early). Made us think that parenting was easy so we made a second. She cried non-stop for 2 years (day, night, anytime between her two 20 minute naps in 24 hours).
Ciao!
L
I feel that when we have #2 it will be the same way. We feel like we have this parenting stuff down… that means #2 will be ca-razy!
Thanks so much for stopping by- I love your site and all its delicious recipes!
I’m loving that its friday and I can put my pregnant feet up all weekend and relax!
Loving that I can feel my little man bouncing around all the time- 22 weeks meant it was time for him to get his groove on.
Not loving that my job makes me crazy. I miss teaching.
Oh man when my turkey is on sale I buy out the shelf! Lately I’ve been loving greek yogurt with coconut flour, PB and cinnamon. I’ve had in every night for like a month and it’s ALWAYS the best part of my day.
I want your pressure cooker and that lemon-water thingy!! I see pressure cookers on “Top Chef” all the time, and I’m always curious about them!
I’m glad to see someone else gets excited when Smart Chicken is on sale too!
:p
I’m lovin’ this post! Your little one is too sweet. Currently, I am also loving the sauna at my gym…it’s the perfect antidote to this freezing weather.
That’s the exact same pressure cooker I received a little under a year ago as an engagement present. I love it! It’s become a valuable member of my kitchen team. Between the recipes it came with, the ones posted on hippressurecooking.com, and learning how to modify traditional ones for the PC, I use it about twice a week. My crock pot has been relegated to the basement and it’s the PC now that has a coveted full-time spot in the kitchen.
I love that last water infused gift you shown here. Such a great idea to get people to drink water.
