1. Every time I use my mini food processor/chopper I realize how much I love it. It’s great for making the crumb topping in my cornflake pork chops.
2. I’ve been wanting to update my office for a while and haven’t known exactly what I wanted to do. Then pictures started falling that I had been hanging on a bulletin board and the edges would curl up. Sooooo I got a beautiful heavy duty shelf like I have in my home office and LOVE. Can’t wait to create a gallery wall. What I love is that it’s super easy to change out the artwork without having to put more holes in the walls

   

3. Super interesting post on how mindfulness exercises can be AS EFFECTIVE as anxiety medication!
4. OMG I LOVED THIS BOOK and now it’s coming to screen. 
5. Ben is really into Legos – thinking I NEED TO BUY HIM THIS because it’s actually beautiful and I wouldn’t mind it as home decor, lol.

Bridget’s Picks

1. As someone who always loved the *idea* of Marie Kondo, but felt it was pretty unrealistic, this post sure did make me smile.
2. I just ordered this dress for a super fun occasion we have coming up.  I’m always up for an excuse to wear a fun dress!
3. Another great read – I ran across the introduction to Home Eq[uity] through this article, but you can read all about it here.  I love the idea of discussing and closing the ‘Chore Gap.’
4. My daughter needs a new backpack and has requested a Wonder Woman one.  I love that she is obsessed with a strong super hero woman, so I’m getting her this one, which comes with a lunchbox and stickers.

Alyssa’s Picks

1. I just switched my makeup to this brand and so far I love it! I tried this foundation and concealer and it feels very light and looks really natural.
2. These are my favorite jeans and I just ordered them in black! I also love this pair for a more simple jean.
3. I love baking shows and I’ve been watching this new season from The Great British Baking Show! I love the original show more but this one is still fun.
4. I saw these sandals and immediately added them to my cart! They’re so cure and they have tons of fun colors.
