Friday!!! Any big weekend plans? Shocker– we don’t. We had a fun night out planned for a friend’s birthday, but with no sitter and the majority of people frowning on leaving a dog in charge of the kids, we’re not going to make it. On the bright side, I think we might watch Chef. I’ve heard great things!
Ok, moving on to some things I’m loving lately…
Ginger Elizabeth Chocolates. A sweet (pun intended!) reader, Irina, mailed me an unused Medela bottle (the only kind Kaitlyn will drink from) and generously snuck this in the package as well. And holy moly is it delicious. The sweetness is subtle and doesn’t make my teeth ache. It is the perfect bar to have a satisfying few blocks of after the girls go down. Well, it was. It’s been gone for a few days now.
Fall Fashion. Yes, I’m working on making myself look more presentable, but I’m having a lot of fun with Hailey’s wardrobe. Little kid clothes are just so darn cute! And she’s still rocking the ‘Elsa’ braid.
Scour Off. For those that don’t know, I am a Shaklee rep (full disclosure for the win), but even if I wasn’t, I’d still buy this nontoxic scrubber paste.
It works on everything. Exhibit A: Before…
and after.
Kaitlyn. She’s going to give me a run for my money. She is all over the place and always headed towards the things she shouldn’t. Forget toys, this girl wants outlets, balloons, plastic bags and metal bars. Despite it possibly turning my hair gray, I dig her feistiness.
Leftovers. This busy week was brought to you by leftovers. Someone tell me why I don’t implore this tactic more often? Dinner is already ready? Brilliant!
Amazing Creams and Lotions. My friend Jaime gifted me a sample pack of these lotions and creams made from vegetable oils and butter, essential oils, herbs and more. After trying the Bee Delicious Body Cream yesterday, it was the first time in weeks my fingertips have not been dry and cracked (sorry for that visual!). I’m excited to try some of the other blends as well.
That about sums it up here!
What have you been loving lately?
Any fun new-to-you products to share?

Lately I’ve been loving those green bean snaps snacks. I eat a bag at a time. And FALL weather!
Brittany Dixon says
Oh those sound good! Where do you find them? Are they different from the Snap Pea ones? I love those!
John J. Stathas says
Life! Grateful that all the important things in life are going well, Including viewing your posts and seeing a beautiful and healthy family! Enjoy the weekend.

How are the Shaklee products for bathroom cleaning. I was scrubbing my shower yesterday with Comet, and ended up feeling awful from the fumes. I can’t find anything natural that does the job, but truly feel sick from the smell of the typical bathroom cleaners.
Brittany Dixon says
What sort of bathroom cleaning? I use the scour off and Basic g (the germicide) and it handles 95% of bathroom duties really well. I have yet to find something that can tackle our deeply embedded hard water stains though! I’ve tried everything (both nontoxic and toxic!)
Vanessa says
I wanted something other than bleach to tackle the grout in the shower. Especially the corners!
Vanessa says
I wanted a natural product that will get rid of any mildew in the grout. I hate when the grout looks yucky In the corners of the shower!
Vanessa says
I wanted a natural product to scrub the grout.
Brittany Dixon says
I would think the combo of scour off and Basic G would certainly give it a good go, but let me try and find a few tough spots in my bathroom then I’ll report back!
Lauren K says
We loved Chef! It’s really cute and the food looks so yummy…just plan to eat while watching or you will get really hungry! 🙂
Lauren Brennan says
I’ve definitely been loving online shopping lately! I’m pretty sure a woman with multiple children thought that one up. 🙂
Question- I love your rug in the picture of Kaitlyn! I’ve been (online) rug shopping, and yours has the colors I’m looking for and looks classic and not overly busy. Do you remember where you got it or what brand it is? Thanks!
Brittany Dixon says
Thanks!! Anytime I get a compliment on design or fashion (something I’m not naturally great at), I get really happy haha 🙂 It’s about 4 years old but we got it at World Market for a good price! $200ish I think?
Lauren Brennan says
Awesome! I’ll look into it. Thanks!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Hailey is a sweetheart! So pretty!
That scrub off looks crazy awesome! Need!
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says
I love Shaklee’s scour off! It smells amazing too.
Hailey’s outfit = so so cute!
Brittany Dixon says
It does smell good! I’ve definitely accidentally stuck my nose in it while smelling it before. HA.
Laura @FitMamaLove says
What did that scrubby stuff used to be called? I’m pretty sure we always had that at home growing up! Love Hailey’s boots! I need to get a cute pair for my girl. Happy Friday! I don’t have many plans over the weekend, but today I’m very excited to be getting a massage!
Brittany Dixon says
I have no idea what it used to be called! I’m sure it’s changed names over the years, but I only know it as scour off 🙂
And a massage sounds incredible!! Good for you mama. Enjoy!
Marjorie @APinchOfHealthy says
Hailey looks so precious!!! And I agree about scour off. I love that stuff!
jen says
i’m kinda jealous of hailey’s outfit! 🙂
Brittany Dixon says
You have no idea how many of her clothes I wish were in my size. Kids GAP is just awesome.
LaToya says
I love fall fashion too (especially for my girl). Shopping for my son hasn’t been as much fun, they don’t have as many choices.
I have been loving sweets. I need some NOW. lol
Heather says
Our daughter is into everything as well. I thought having a girl would mean a change of pace from having a boy, but nope! I love her independence and crazy streak, though.
I’ve been loving Harvest Snaps… my toddler and I can polish off a bag in no time. There isn’t a flavor we don’t like… well, no wasabi for him. 😉
Hannah @ CleanEatingVeggieGirl says
I cannot even handle how adorable Hailey looks! Those little boots are the cutest thing ever!!
Erin @ The Grass Skirt says
Ooh, the body cream sounds like something I’d love! And yes, fall fashion is the BEST. Have a great weekend!
The Grass Skirt
The Mini Skirt
Brittany Dixon says
I actually thought of you and these creams. You are the most natural mama I know! 🙂
christina says
hailey looks so grown up in that pic!
Danica @ It's Progression says
That chocolate brand looks fantastic – I need to find some!
Marnie @ SuperSmartMama says
We are trying to squeeze in as many date nights as possible before baby #2 comes. So we’re going to the symphony tomorrow night. I know, kind of “old people / old school” but we are trying to experience all that Denver has to offer.
If Hailey’s outfit is indication of what you’re wearing these days, I’m sure you’re rockin the fall fashions, too!
Vanessa says
Ahh! I am sorry that posted three times up above! I kept getting an error message.
Irina says
Thank you! I am inspired to give the scrubbing paste a try – my stainless steel stuff is looking sad and I am having shiny pot envy.
Matt says
Leftovers have been my savior.
