Simply Links – June
This month’s installment of some of the things I want to tell you about.
Weighty Matter
Our bathroom scale was a gift – I think from my mom – and it looks nice. Really. It works perfectly well for Evan, but for some reason it is absolutely inconsistent with me, to the point that I step on it at least twice every time I weigh myself to see if it’s telling the truth. Let’s pretend I weigh 125 (HA!). My morning routine would go something like this.
Step 1: 129. Feel bad for eating that large dinner last night.
Step 2: 120 . Feel temporarily giddy at the thought.
Step 3: 125. Getting annoyed at the scale, but know this number is likely correct.
In other words. We need a new scale. I like this one from Target, but am tempted to get an old-fashioned kind with a dial to avoid this trouble again. Suggestions? Recommendations?
Better Than Girl Scouts (Cookies)
When it comes to Girl Scout Cookies, Thin Mints are my cookie of choice. I can scarf down an entire sleeve in five minutes flat. Up until now, any attempts to duplicate Thin Mints has fallen noticeably short. But along comes Back to Nature with their Fudge Mint cookies, and I am not kidding you, they are better than Thin Mints. At least in my mouth. They’re found in the health food section of your local grocery store, or around here at Healthy Life Market. I also recommend their Honey Graham Sticks and Organic Stoneground Wheat cookies. I’m sure their other products are delicious, too, I just haven’t gotten around to them yet. But I will.
Etsy Find
Block Printed. Linen. Turquoise. Pillow.
What’s not to love about this item, and really the entire Jewelweeds store on etsy.Featuring tea towels, clutches, coasters, and adorable mini wallets. I am really digging this stuff.
Fabric Lust
One of the handful (ok, dozens) of crafty blogs I read on a regular basis is Sew, Mama Sew, which also features a fabulous selection of fabric in their online shop. Fun, modern, fresh and colorful, there’s always something to look at, er…drool on my keyboard over. Like this fabric pack. Or this print. Or, thinking ahead, something like this.
For the first time in months, I’m sans an Anthropologie link. I promise not to make a habit of it.
Well, for the scales, we have the weight watcher brand and they are pretty accurate on a daily basis. I think they are 3 pounds off from the scales at my primary care doctor, but not sure if their’s are calibrated either. I always take my weight at home because it’s beneficial. ha-ha.
