Family Favorites
Oh, how I loooove a good friend taking the work out of me trying to find the most amazing things to help my family. When someone I love tells me what to get, it literally feels like I just saved 12 hours of reading reviews (And let’s be real, that was a 90 minute job, but 1000 “hey, moms!” later and it became 12 hours.)
I am so excited to be able to leave this page right here for you. It may seem like a crazy list of things, but that’s how our family rolls and I’m just being an open book for you.
So from our favorite car potty, to the best recipe, to my favorite podcasts — enjoy, friend!!
HOUSEHOLD
The Car Potty
If you don’t have one, you should really, really consider. Believe me when I say it works for kids of almost all ages. My children use it soccer fields, at parks, on road trips, before we go into the grocery. Most used product by four children in our house.
The Balance Bike
Grab any one you can. Any one that gets handed down to you. Doesn’t matter, but just save yourself the headache and outsource teaching two-wheeler riding to the genius who created the bike for toddlers to just learn to balance first!! Brilliant in our opinion as all four of our children were legit riding real two-wheelers at age 4. Probably the most disconnected we ever were with teaching our children something. (“Hey, just push your feet. Now pick them up. Yay! Good job!” It’s that simple.)
EDUCATION
Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons
Best way to teach your children to read! I taught for a homeschool co-op group when my kids were much younger. A few of the moms told me to get this and wow!!! My children were all reading before they began kindergarten. Teaching with this is SO simple. You literally just read word for word the directions to your children and each lesson only takes 10-15 minutes daily.
BUSINESS
Christy Wright’s Business Boutique Podcast
Podcast for starting a business! I always say Christy Wright’s “Business Boutique Podcast” put me through entrepreneurial school. When Togather™ was just a dream, I Googled “start-a-business-easily-Christian-women-entrepreneurs” or, you know, something crazy and really too long for a search bar, but Business Boutique popped up and I was hooked! I felt so confident that I could actually make this dream happen. And I think it worked :)
FOOD
Gnocchi With Spinach & Gorgonzola
The date on this recipe says 2007 and pretty sure I’ve been feeding it to my children for almost that long. It may be the ONE meal that everyone in my family will eat (besides breakfast-for-dinner night). Even my pickiest eaters have always loved this one! We omit the walnuts and sub blue cheese or just shredded Italian cheese.
