A few years ago a friend of mine had a “favorite

A few years ago a friend of mine had a “favorites” party. I was skeptical, but went- and it was so much fun! Each person was to bring 3 items to introduce, set on a table, then as we drew names you could choose from the table. It’s was such a cool way to get to know each other- and as a bonus, find random new things you never knew you needed! So we’re switching the game to a post! Each Friday we’ll introduce our favorite finds of the week- and if you share yours in comments we’ll all have a big grab bag of new items to explore!

My absolute fav this week is @moonjuice Superyou. This supplement is suppose to help regulate your mood🙃☺️ I started taking this 2 months ago and had fallen off remembering daily. WOW. What a difference! I can definitely tell that I’m more snappy with less patience without! So back to setting it next to the coffee maker to remember.😉

The next isn’t so much an item, but something I find extremely helpful daily- and that’s @theskimm. 📰 If you don’t follow this feed, add it! It’s a simple way to keep up with current events, while not only keeping it short, but explaining well. Perfect for these days when we’re juggling way too much to keep up!

Ellie discovered this S & T inc silicone drying rack- and after seeing her pics, I ordered one too! This is amazing for a quick drying rack or using to wash/drain veggies over.

Last, but not least- It’s time for fall decor! 🎃 I love all things Halloween, especially home decor. Pillows are such an fast, easy add on that require zero effort. This subtle webbed one from local shop @chaletnursery is perfect.

I would love to hear about your favorite finds of the week! Enjoy the weekend! #fridayfavorites #momgadgets #momlife #fridayfaves

Hieee! It’s been a day already. Took three kids

Hieee! It’s been a day already. Took three kids to the dentist 🦷 , accomplished a bit of elearning (a word my phone finally doesn’t try to autocorrect), yelled just a smidge, worked a little, whined a little, now off to a dermatology appointment and swim lessons... phew! Who’s joining me for a glass of wine this evening?
.
Speaking of joining me... I have big news that I’m divulging to you all tomorrow a la the Thirsty Thursday feature. Be there or be square! Can’t wait!! 🤗

And... flip! 🏊🏼‍♂️ I’m so proud of m

And... flip! 🏊🏼‍♂️ I’m so proud of my 5yo dude for mastering the life-saving flip technique thanks to @fossswimschool. With COVID concerns my hubby and I had been super hesitant to enroll at a swim school - yuck. BUT, the protocols that they have in place are tops. 🤒 checks and hand sanitizer at the door, lane gapping, directional signs ➡️➡️, face shields on the instructors, parent and staff 😷 enforcement and more private lesson options are just a snippet of how they’re adhering to strict protocols.
.
Sure the swim season is just about over but the lifelong skill of learning how to swim doesn’t have to be. Prepare now for your next BRBO lake house. Visit @fossswimschool for ways your family can try it out.
.
Head over to stories to see more pics of what to expect at your local @fossswimschool.

**Transparency: My 5yo receives free swim lessons in exchange for an honest, unbiased review. However, we’ve been a Foss family for six years and ❤️ this swim school.

✨New Story: “What Teachers Want Parents to Know About This School Year.” (Link in bio ☝️)✨
.
Our teachers have a HUGE task this year! Two teachers, Amanda Schmidt (shown) and Pablo Pitcher DeProto (swipe across), give us information that can help everyone (kids, teachers and parents) have the best year possible. 🙌Amanda teaches reading in CT (this year in a hybrid model) and Pablo teaches second grade (this year, remotely) in CA. 🍎 Their messages about partnership, patience and more are relevant regardless of how you’re doing school this year. 👍 Both are also parents and share great practical tips like keeping a schedule-but avoiding over scheduling. 👏 Link in bio for more. ☝️
Thanks to our parent company @thelocalmomsnetwork for this helpful article! ❤️👍💯🙏👏🏼
