I thought it would be fun to talk about what we're currently obsessed with. Lately for me it's been essential oil candles. A lot of candles give me headaches but soy-based essential oil blend candles don't. DH loves having candles too, so I'm basically buying 3 or 4 candles every time I'm at Target, I can't stop!

I'm binge watching the Great British Baking Show on Netflix and pinning new recipes to try.
-
@jhd: I LOVE that show.
-
@jhd: same! I've been looking up pregnancy-friendly tiramisu recipes all morning!
Besides this show I've been crocheting up a storm. Since I moved in February I've procrastinated on unpacking and decorating and instead have just kept starting project after project.
So far I've made a blanket for my LO due in June, a unicorn hat for my niece, some booties/slippers for my toddler,, I've started a hydrangea, a sunflower, and a Sophie's Universe mandala in embroidery floss. So just a few things!

Looking at lighting. We are getting a new chandelier for the foyer, new pendant over the kitchen table, then updating the flush mounts from boring builder grade ones in the near future. So I've been obsessively looking at lights online. Of course our favorite is not available to see in person in our entire state. Thanks, Pinterest.

@Mrs. Sunshine: watches...probably only because I am interviewing at a cool new watching company tomorrow but I cant help but stare at the website and dream about the ones I'll buy with my employee discount!
-
Entertainment - I'm binging Friends from the beginning and following the Best of Friends podcast during my commute
Food (though I'm trying to limit them for wallet and weight reasons!) smoked butterscotch lattes from Starbucks
-
Spring/summer clothes! Thank goodness for Nordstrom and free shipping & returns.
-
@mrskansas: I got a killer utility Jacket from there (BP brand) for $40 the other day...I was basically like "for $40 I'll just buy it and return it if I dont like it"...love that store...esp now with free shipping and returns!
-
@Mrs D: was it the hunter green one?
My favs are BP, Halogen, Caslon & Bobeau! I can always find something I love. -
@mrskansas: yup!!!
-
Fitness Blender workouts. Been doing them consistently for 6 months and I'm starting to really see results but more importantly I feel SO STRONG.
-
@LulaBee:
That's SO awesome! When I'm serious about my workouts and feel strong I'll catch myself in the mirror carrying a laundry basket or whatever and be like "yeah! Look at those arms!" lol good job! It's such a good feeling!
-
@Mrs. Sunshine:
the best feeling!!
-
Umm LLR. Started buying them during pregnancy and looove the leggings for post partum too. While I'm not a crazy prints/colors person, I realize these direct sales kinda thing are so convenient for me esp during maternity leave! I like that I can ask questions and ask for outfit ideas, etc. And pass time when I'm nursing DD2 to sleep
-
I'm learning Polish and my entire house/office are covered in labels showing the Polish words for everything, my phone is currently in Polish and I'm trying to use as much Polish as I can day to day.
-
@Cherrybee: that's pretty cool! Are you learning just for fun or is there another reason?
-
Just for fun. I was inspired by a post on here about multi-lingual families...... and I thought that I wanted to have a useful second language (I speak German but there's no use for it, really, in my day to day life - but there is a large Polish community here in the UK).
-
Swing sets. My parents said they'd buy one for the boys and I'm googling like it's my job. Why can't I find what I want for under $2000?!?!
-
Baby sleep. LO2 is a little over 3 months and is such a better sleeper than LO1 (he only wakes once per night, which LO1 didn't get to until she was 8 or 9 months old). I'm terrified about the upcoming 4 month sleep regression and I've been reading up everything I can find to try to prepare/prevent it.
-
Last week it was (Berkey) water filters and this week it is learning more about short term investing for future car savings.
-
A blanket I just got from Seek & Swoon. It's so cozy and machine washable. Love. I'm going to get another
-
Staging/selling house tips and browsing house inventory.
-
@erinbaderin: that should be easy?!?
-
@Cherrybee: I just bought my kids the first polish word book from Usborne
-
Researching tents and beginner camping tips! I'd really like to start taking the kids camping this summer.
-
@HappyBaker: wall me if you need any help. We tent camped with my 1 year old several times last summer.
-
@youboots: we're redecorating, so along with candles, I'm all about blankets and pillows right now. I'm going to look them up!
-
Very crisp and cold celery dipped in two dressings that I mix together, lemons, and Harry Potter & the Sacred Text podcast
-
@Mrs. Pickle: I am always obsessed with lemons. Why are they SO good? I'll put like 3 wedges in my water. I dress my salads in olive oil and lemon juice with salt and pepper and if I'm alone I will literally drink whatever is left at the bottom. I love lemons!
-
@Mrs. Sunshine: citrus, vinegar, and anything sour or tangy is my favorite flavor! I've been eating lemon slices to help with morning sickness. It's the only thing that's worked for me this pregnancy. I had a checkup at the dentist yesterday and asked her if I was messing up my teeth. So far, so good.
-
@catlady: I had a sleeper like that and the four month sleep regression didn't touch him. Fingers crossed!
-
@T.H.O.U.: Right? I thought so too. The problem is I don't really want swings, I want a tower with a slide and a climbing wall. Everything I can find is either super pricey or only available in the US or U.K.
-
Finding dairy free foods and snacks. I miss cheese and real ice cream!
-
@jhd: this past summer while my husband was away for 9 days, I watched series 1-6 obsessively. Then in the fall I watched series 7
-
i am currently obsessed with ghiradelli cookie mixes, particularly the salted caramel chocolate thumbprint cookies
-
@Mrs. Sunshine: These sound awesome! Do you have a link??
-
My Favorite Murder podcast. We've had really nice weather the past few days here so I'm driving with my windows down while listening to it and I'm so embarrassed I put my windows up at red lights. Can't get enough though.
-
On a MSPI diet but have been craving cheese so Daiya is my new obsession! Not perfect but it helps with the craving. Oh and I can't remember the brand but cold brewed mocha made with almond milk. So yummy!
-
@youboots: That is so nice of you! Walling you now.
the best feeling!!
