5 Things We Love Right Now

Balloon Babes

I have always thought balloons are a fun addition to any celebration. Fun fact: In college I worked in a gift shop and often put together balloon bouquets. These days, balloon décor has gotten a lot more elaborate and fun than my simple balloon bouquets. KC Balloon Babes to the rescue! I recently had to help with an event and went to these gals for ideas for table decorations, and their balloon table toppers were perfect! For table decorations, archways and more, check them out to help make your next event a success! P.S., they have the best business name! Facebook.com/KCBalloonBabes

Prayer Book

As a child, our bedtime routine included a story and then always ended with prayers. We continued the tradition with our girls. A new book by local parents Jimmy and Sally Dodd combines the bedtime story with a nightly prayer in their recently released gem, The Magnificent Names of Jesus. Each short chapter spotlights one name and offers a modern-day explanation, Scripture, and name-focused prayer. A perfect addition to your nightly routine! Available at local retailers.

Just Watch

If you, like I, are a bit overwhelmed by all the streaming services, then read on, because help is on the way! I recently discovered the Just Watch app, and it has made TV viewing so much easier! Simply type in the title of the show or movie you want to watch, and you’ll get a list of where it can be viewed for free, for a fee, with a subscription, etc. No more scrolling through each service to see if the movie is available on that particular platform—hallelujah! apps.Apple.com/us/app/justwatch-movies-tv-shows/id979227482

Phone Charger

My younger has a knack for having her phone run out of battery when she’s out for the evening and supposed to check in. I often get a text from an unknown number that starts, “Hi Mom! It’s Ally from Grace’s phone … ” To solve this problem, I got her a two-pack of the Miady Portable Chargers, and they work very well for keeping her phone charged—provided she remembers to uses them. If you have kids who often find themselves with a dead phone, check out the Miady chargers to keep their phones juiced!

Gnome Hunt

Looking for a fun activity that the entire family can enjoy? Look no further than Ceramic Café’s Gnome Hunt. It was a success last year and is back bigger and better for this year. Gnomes will be hidden at parks around the city. Once you hunt for and find a gnome, bring it to Ceramic Café to paint and personalize. Have fun with your family hunting and then decorating the gnomes! The date for the hunt will be sometime in March—you’ll have to watch their social media for the exact date!
