5 Things I’m Loving Right Now

Periodically, I like to give y’all the scoop on some of the things that I particularly enjoy and can’t live without,  and today I’m sharing five of my current favorites! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. 🙂

ABCMouse.com

It is rare that I can find a single thing that all three of my oldest kiddos can enjoy, but this site is one of those! It is a paid-subscription site, which I will admit prevented me from trying it out at first. After signing our family up for the one-month free trial, though, I can say without hesitation that we will definitely be extending our subscription once these 30 days have come and gone. This will be such a great way to keep the kiddos learning all summer long!

Ben & Jerry’s Greek Frozen Yogurt

 So creamy, so decadent, and not quite as bad for you as traditional ice cream. The folks at Ben & Jerry’s like to say, “It’s really Greekin’ good!” and I have to agree. My personal favorite is the strawberry shortcake.

Free Botanical Printables

Thanks to this post at Honey & Fitz, I stumbled upon this amazing collection of vintage botanical art prints from Botanicus.org. Dina provides a great how-to on her blog for how to scroll through and download the prints. I have a big project in the works as we speak that incorporates these, so be on the lookout. 🙂

Piggy Paint

As a mama, the idea of putting all of the harmful chemicals found in conventional polishes on my girls’ little fingers and toes gives me nightmares (hello, formaldehyde!), but Piggy Paint is odorless and completely non-toxic. Love that! I ordered the Girls Rule! Set for Charlotte and Cecily, and we’ve been having a blast for the last few weeks giving each other manis and pedis. We are now officially ready for flip-flop weather. 🙂

Blurb

I have recently committed myself to trying to do something with our family photos to organize them in albums, so when I came across the Blurb site the other night, I was very intrigued. With their free Booksmart software, you can easily build your own custom books as you have time, saving each project as you work to return to later. In addition to photo books, you can make cookbooks, journals and just about any other type of book under the sun. Love this! And when it’s time to order, their prices appear to be really competitive. I’ll be sure to keep you posted with my experience once I order my first book through them. So far, I am very impressed!

What are you smitten with right now? I’d love to hear!
