See :: Anne with an “E”. A fan of the books and the 1980’s movies, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this retelling. It’s darker, for sure…diving deep into Anne’s abusive childhood with flashbacks and sending Gilbert on adventures most adults wouldn’t brave…but two seasons in, I’m addicted. Devastated there is only one more season to go, which won’t nearly cover the romance between Anne and Gilbert. I’m in the “depths of despair” over this.

Do :: Update your LinkedIn profile. If you haven’t updated the content of your profile in some time, you’re doing yourself a disservice. Your skill sets may have expanded, you may have spoken on an emerging topic or you may just not look like that headshot you had taken straight out of college anymore. The new year is a great time to revisit how to differentiate yourself from the crowd.

Read :: The Official DC Super Hero Cookbook: 60+ Simple, Tasty Recipes for Growing Super Heroes. My son is an INSANELY picky eater. Seriously, thank goodness for breakfast foods, chicken nuggets, yogurt and vitamins, because it has been the only thing keeping him alive for years now. He originally found this book at the library and loved it so much that we purchased it from Amazon. He actually wants to make — AND TRY — food from this book. Even if it’s only a taste, we’re trending in the right direction. So far, he loves the Superman smoothie — which is the first bit of spinach to hit his body in about five years.

Learn :: All of the travel hacks for our upcoming cruise vacation. Facebook groups, forums, Pinterest — I’m am hitting them all for the best ideas as to what we should bring with us on our upcoming cruise. While the hubs and I were avid cruisers BC (before child), this is our first time back on the high seas with our wee man in tow. And we’re taking him on a cruise, where literally all there is to do is eat. Here’s hoping that superhero cookbook works miracles.

Amazing on Amazon

March 27, 2018 by playworkrepeat 1 Comment

Not sure I truly realized the value and glory of all things Amazon until I had my son…less than two months before Christmas with ZERO shopping done.  Queue AMAZON PRIME!

My obsession with Amazon has not waned over the years, either – especially when free time is at a minimum and a trip to Target seems like a vacation.  A few amazing finds on that site recently include:

Tuxedo Teeth Whitening Activated Charcoal Powder :: I wish I had taken a before photo, because the after has been incredible.  I use this in the shower each morning, then brush my teeth normally once I get out.  I’m still in awe that this actually worked!

Panda Planner :: No joke, I read about this on an article dedicated to Amazon cult favorites. I was in the midst of too many work projects — all with the same level of “priority” — and was having difficulty focusing. No focus, no progress. Enter, the Panda Planner. This has really helped me focus on what needs to be done that day, and what I can do without. It also helps me recognize the things I feel good or excited about in my life, which is something I take for granted too often.

Glass Foaming Soap Dispensers :: Okay, I’ll admit that in the midst of my “OMG I NEED A NEW DISPENSER B/C THESE PLASTIC METHOD CONTAINERS AREN’T DOING IT ANYMORE,” I didn’t realize that one was clear and one was blue.  I had spaces in my house where that worked, so not a full blown crisis, but I was surprised. But hey, it’s better than when I wasn’t paying attention and bought my husband child size t-shirts…and opened the package…and washed them…and still didn’t notice, even when he tried to put it on.  Yeah…

Cell Phone Stand :: Like everyone else on Earth, I struggle to ignore my phone while at work. I have a computer (sometimes two) and at least two screens in front of me at all times — WHY CAN’T I PUT THE PHONE DOWN?! I realized it was because I was always worried I would miss something.  Did my son’s preschool call? Did I get a text reminder of a doctor appointment I would have otherwise forgotten about? What is Rue La La selling today?!?!?! And yes, I have an Apple Watch, so I really have no excuse for checking my phone. This stand helped me keep an eye on my phone without holding it in my hand should an issue arise, with a handy dandy cord slot so you can still charge. Plus, it gets my phone off the desk — and we all know how many germs end up on those.  Oh, and it’s $10. Genius.
