a few of my favorite things...

the box girls.

What ever happened to the art of conversation?  Now whenever I go out with friends or other couples I feel like everything turns to celebrity gossip or work.  Once upon a time I am sure we had something meaningful to say, things that sparked ideas and generated thoughts other than the latest style or beauty product.  Not to mention that dinner time isn't always the easiest or stress free event at our house.  Most of the time dinner conversation consists of meltdowns and me praying for silence.  The solution??

Enter The Box Girls, moms and long time friends who were searching for that exact solution and just so happened to stumble upon it one night.  Spontaneous questions that included everyone and boom...The Box of Questions was born.

"The questions didn't rely on trivia like the latest on ESPN, Brangelina or American Idol. They delved into serious, thought-provoking issues including ethics and morality, charity and history as well as a strong appreciation for the bonds that tie together family and society."

Although my two little guys are a bit young to participate, it doesn't take much effort to manipulate a few questions here and there to get my three year old in on the action.  The Family Dinner Box of Questions if my favorite.  It is not every night we get to enjoy dinner as a complete family.  But when we do, it is nice to know we can create lasting memories around the conversations that take place.

 

stork magnets.

Baby announcements was usually something I always thought would be fun to send out but only actually did with one of my sons.  I could never find the "perfect" one.  Easy + unique.  Although there are many sites and designs to choose from, I have never seen a magnet birth announcement until now.

Enter, Stork Magnets.  After realizing that her save-the-date magnets were still lingering on the refrigerators of family and friends, she knew that she had hit on something special.  During that same time, a coworker announced her pregnancy and boom!  Stork Magnets was born.

The magnets measure 6x4 inches and are printed on a satin/glossy material.  Completely customizable, so you will be sure to get the look you want.  Hey, you can even create your own design and upload it to the website!  The only downside there may be is that they do run a bit high in price.  But the turn around time is awesome.  Your order will ship out in just four short days and they also host a "money back guarantee".  I will most definitely be bookmarking Stork Magnets for when I finally decide on number 3.

Extra goodness: Enter MollysFavThings in the comment box when placing your order and receive TEN free bonus magnets with any purchase.

Thanks Stork Magnets!

clear nail polish.

I hate when I get a rust ring in my sparkling shower from the shaving cream can.  Simple solution!  Swipe clear nail polish on all the metal parts of the can and presto, no more rust! Oh and just in case you were wondering, I love the aveeno therapeutic shave gel.  It is fragrance-free, which means hubby will use it too!
