1. Crock-Pots. I have to say this week I am grateful for these. We have 2 different kinds of slow cookers and it is so nice to be able to come home to the house smelling yummy and food waiting to be eaten.
2. Planned Leftovers. I love the idea of cooking something once, but making it stretch into two meals. In my case, it was the chicken from the crock-pot.
3. Sprinklers. Summer times makes sprinklers all the more fun when it’s hot. They are also great for watering grass seed, for what will hopefully be more lawn.
4. Colored Pencils. I love these so much that even when I get the kids some for school, I have some of my own. Plus, what else can I use to keep my kids so busy for so long?
5. Cups. They aren’t just for holding beverages. I have learned that you can use them to catch honey bees and then release them outside. You can also capture small cars under them I’m learning.
