5 on a Friday: Things I Heart

 YOU GUYS. Ben also got Strep and Flu-A. WHAT THE WHAT? And now! He and Cooper are off to Minnesota for a dive meet (Dorothy has dance rehearsals all day Saturday, so we could not go with) and will probably get snowed in at about the exact second strep, flu, and RSV hit me. #itfigures #patriarchy


ANYWAY. Onto 5 things I love this week:

1. THIS hand sanitizer. You can also use it as a hair refresher, and I love the smell. Dorothy has the watermelon onne and also likes it a lot. I am kind of obsessed and will definitely be buying these for basically every purse.

2. THIS podcast episode. Lowered my blood pressure for a hot second anyway.

3. THIS series on audiobook. YOU GUYS. DRAGONS. AND SMUT. BUT NOT DRAGON SMUT (don't google that).

4. Annabel's really really awkward groom



5. MINNIE'S TAP COSTUME.



Bonus: Cows who have been blown dry. (Their feet and legs don't NOT look like Annabel's)

  1. Ugh that sucks about Ben! Somehow the adults have never gotten strep from the kids. They've probably had it 7-8 times, likely more. I hope he is feeling better and that you stay healthy. My friend's husband and son got influenza A and she was able to get Tamiflu as a prophylactic so you could consider that as well?

    I love Ezra Klein!

  2. Sixteen dollars for one ounce of hand sanitizer?!?! It better DO my hair and cure cancer for that price. (I am obviously too frugal for this world.)

  4. So what's the difference between the Glow Mist hand sanitizer and the moisturizing hand sanitizer, besides $6? Do your hands really glow and look more youthful? And yay, FSA eligible. I mean, I know it's still my money when I pay with FSA, but it FEELS free.

    That podcast episode helped me breathe a bit too.

  6. Minnie’s costume- SO cute. What’s wrong with Annabelle’s groom? I think she looks cute. The blown dried cows? I have never heard of such a thing. They are so fluffy looking. It’s a me thing, but I cannot tolerate perfume-ie smells. My kids have come home with scented hand sanitizer and I about lose my mind.
