{Review} Hydracentials Sporty 25 Oz Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle

I'm constantly trying to improve my water intake. Seriously, sometimes I feel like I just don't get it in. I challenge myself often to improve this little flaw and when I do, I love cold water. With all the running around I do as a mom I love relaxing with a nice cold glass of water, sadly when I get to it in between all the chores and child care involved in the day my water isn't usually all that cold. 

The Hydracentials Sporty 25oz Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle, has helped so much with my need for water intake and my love of cold water. I like to fill it up before climbing into bed to relax and love that when I wake up at night for a quick drink that my water is still ice cold. Seriously. One day I filled it up with ice water and about a day and a half later it was still cold. No lie. I LOVE this water bottle and am so glad it found me. Did I mention it has a straw! I mean seriously- love it! One thing I would definitely recommend picking up separately from this bottle are the bottle straw cleaners. Super awesome for cleaning those straws! 

Do you have a water bottle that you love? How do you keep your water intake thing up to par?

{Review} Microfiber Kitchen Dish Towels

We're currently going through and doing so many DIY projects around the house. This last month, we've been focusing on our kitchen. Now I'm saving all of the super fun DIY stuff for later posts but, I will share something I got that I love!

The Luxe Home Essentials Microfiber Kitchen Dish Towels were an awesome save for me. I say save, because these towels are mini lifesavers when it comes to drying hands in our kitchen. (We are always washing our hands or our girls' hands.) I don't care to use paper towels when I'm drying my hands at home, seems like a waste to me. I also don't care for using the small dish rags or the decorative towels that just don't seem to dry your hands. It drives me crazy when I attempt to dry my hands on a damp towel. (I know I sound picky.)

These towels are super absorbent and I love the way they look. They dry our hands quickly and they also are great for cleaning up water spills, which we do a lot of also. 

Do you feel like you are constantly washing your hands?

{Review} Luxe Beauty Microfiber Hair Towel

I love getting ready for the day. It's safe to say 95% of the time I have my hair and makeup done. I like things that keep my routine in the morning fast, so I can get ready but still get our morning chores done so we can run errands and play. My hair seems to take the longest, even with it being shoulder length now, it has drying time and styling time. 

When one of these lovely towels showed up on my doorstep, I was super excited to give it a try. The Luxe Beauty Microfiber Hair Towel, was made to help absorb extra water on your hair, resulting in a shorter dry time. It works. I love this towel and that it has shortened the time I spend drying my hair, giving me more time with my kids even though I've gotten ready, and also giving me healthier hair, because I have been able to use the hair dryer on my hair a whole lot less. If you're looking for a towel specifically for your hair, I would definitely recommend this one.

tl;dr : October First!

Welcome October. Seriously, I'm loving the cooler weather, even though it's freezing when I wake up. Fun things are constantly happening here and it's terribly hard to keep up with posting about it. Let's do a little Too Long- Didn't Read (or in my case write).


Preschool is going great still, today was our very first lesson at our house. Miss A was so thrilled!

Miss A started dance class a couple weeks ago, we're looking forward to signing her up for tumbling!

trying on skirts for dance!

Miss M is officially off iron drops and is sleep tons better at night, some nights she actually sleeps through the night!

We headed to the zoo again, and this time the new African Savanna exhibit was open, it was amazing.

We fell in love with this Apple Pie Caramel Apple recipe.

We could use some prayers right now, Miss A is having some interesting health thing going on right now and while we wait to figure out what it is, prayers would be great!
