5 Things We Love Right Now
What’s the most annoying thing about Super Glue? If you said the fact that you use just a little and then the next time you need it, it’s all dried up, then you and I are on the same page. My husband recently found mini one-time use Super Glue tubes, and it was one of those “why didn’t I think of that?” moments. Each tube is the perfect size to take care of one job, and then you toss it and don’t have to worry about it clogging or drying up. Brilliant! Amazon.com
Hot Chocolate Bombs
I didn’t know about hot chocolate bombs until recently, but once I made the amazing discovery, I was on a mission to locate and try them for myself. My phone knows my every thought, so I had ample ads and info pop up about these treats and was able to find a local source through Facebook. These are so fun! You place one in a mug, pour hot milk over and, voila! The “bomb” melts and pops open to reveal marshmallows or some other goodie inside. Not only are they fun, they are yummy!
As I’ve mentioned in the past, I still use a paper planner and calendar. And I’m a big fan of Page-A-Day calendars for my desk. If you aren’t familiar with them, they are the daily calendars that contain a puzzle or trivia or fun fact for each day. I often find one that’s just perfect for someone and I end up giving several as Christmas gifts. This year, as I looked through all the offerings, I had a hard time not ordering every one! Check them out and cross several people off your gift list! Workman.com
Podcast
My cousin recommended Mike Rowe’s (from the TV show Dirty Jobs) The Way I Heard It podcast to me a while back, and I’m sorry I waited so long to start listening to it! Each episode is short, and Rowe reads a story he’s written about a familiar subject—but with a bit of a twist or different take. You don’t find out what he’s talking about until the end of the podcast. It’s fun to try to guess (I’m typically wrong). In addition, Rowe has the perfect speaking voice. Check it out!

I love to find a good pen to write with and I recently purchased a pack of Bic Cristal Xtra Bold pens—my new faves! They have the perfect feel when I put pen to paper and come in a lot of fun colors, which makes writing lists, notes, journal entries and more extra fun! And because they are ball point and not gel, they are cheap, which works out well for me because I love to stock up on office supplies. Try them; I think you’ll like them! Available at area retailers.
