5 Things We Love Right Now
Crafts and Milkshakes
As a treat after an afternoon of running errands, my younger and I headed to Westport to visit the recently opened Creative Culture. It’s a craft space that offers drop-in DIY projects and a milkshake bar. Let me tell you, those milkshakes are something to behold. Not only do they arrive looking just like the photo, but they are so yummy and the perfect fun treat to enjoy after errands—or any time! We’re looking forward to returning to complete a craft and get another milkshake! CreativeCultureKC.com
Cooling Towels
Even though we’re edging toward the end of summer, we may still have some hot days here in Kansas City. I purchased some cooling towels before an outdoor event, and they were perfect for keeping us from getting too overheated on a hot day. I’m not exactly sure of the science behind how they work, but all you need to do is wet, fling out, wrap around your neck and voila, you’ll keep cool! They are small, so easy to take on the go.

Shower Head
Several years back we did a remodel on the girls’ bathroom. The plan was to do our bathroom a bit later, but I’m sure you know how this goes. Time, money and lots of other things have gotten in the way. In the meantime, I’m keeping a running list of ideas and products for when the time comes for our bathroom remodel. A friend recently had the HydroRain shower head installed in her bathroom, and she highly recommends. It’s been added to my list and I’m hopeful I can get it sooner rather than later!
Sparkly Stationery
I used to keep a fair amount of stationery on hand, but as digital communication has supplanted physical letter-writing more and more, I recently found myself out of nice paper and envelopes. I had some letters to write and I found Peter Pauper Press. They have many lovely designs from which to choose, all on nice quality paper—perfect for a quick note or a longer letter. The stationery sets come with envelopes, and I was also impressed with their quality. PeterPauper.com
Small Treat
After a meal, I like to have just a small taste of something sweet. Well, in actuality, I’d take a big taste of something sweet, but for the sake of my waistline I need to keep it small. Enter Godiva with new signature mini bars and chocolate domes. Although I’m partial to dark chocolate, I won’t turn down any chocolate offered. If you’d like to indulge in a sweet something, give them a try. You won’t be disappointed. Available at Target, CVS and Walgreens.
