5 Things We Love Right Now

Summer Moon Coffee

My older and I went out for coffee recently and decided to venture off our beaten path and try someplace new. I’m so glad we did! Summer Moon opened recently in Overland Park, and it is well worth the time to make a visit. The company, based in Texas, recently expanded to outside the Lone Star State, and I’m glad they chose Kansas! I don’t have a clue what’s in their secret moon milk, but I do know that it’s creamy and delicious! It’s only been a week since our first visit, and we’re already planning our next!

Flower Planters

I don’t have a green thumb, and I don’t really enjoy gardening, yard work or anything along those lines. What I do like is pretty plants and flowers and having a yard that looks nice. Enter Family Tree Nursery. For the past few years, I’ve gotten the loveliest pots filled with beautiful flowers for the front of our house from Family Tree Nursery. The arrangements are spectacular, and I receive many compliments. And although I don’t love working in the yard, I do manage to keep them alive all season. FamilyTreeNursery.com

Nail Polish Strips

Let me say off the bat, I don’t sell Color Street nail polish strips. Now you know this is unsolicited and something I just really love right now! I got invited to an online party and decided to give them a try. Well, I am hooked. I love a nice manicured nail, but both dip and gel manicures just wreck my nails (and I’m not good about making appointments to get them done regularly). The Color Street strips are easy to apply, and I get a full week of nicely painted nails. I take them off after a week to give my nails a few days’ break before applying the next set. So many fun colors and designs to choose from! ColorStreet.com

Document Scanner

With a child in high school and another traveling hither and yon on her gap year, I find myself almost weekly having to scan and send a document. My scanner recently stopped working, so it was kind of getting to be a pain to scan and email or text something. Enter the “Notes” app on your iPhone. A friend shared that it has a scanner feature and it has made things so much easier! Open notes, choose to write a new note and in the new note choose the camera icon and voila! You’ll see an option to scan. You’re welcome!

Fuzzy Slides

I’d wear flip flops or sandals all year if I could. I love being able to slip on a shoe before heading out. A few years back, my older daughter found these fuzzy slides by Qupid, and they are totes cute and totes comfortable. Perfect for when I need to run out to the store or when I’m heading to the pool! Side note: Naturally, a pedicure is needed before slide and flip flop season. Currently sporting Japanese Rose Garden. Side, side note: Who gets to name nail polish? I think that would be a fun job!
