I’ve decided to start a little roundup of things I have been into each month. It might be food, kitchen gear, home decor, other blogs, whatever! I just like to tell everyone when I find little gems, whatever they may be. So here’s the first month of goodies: March Favorites!
1. Dog Bone Organizer
Since moving into a new place, I’ve been trying to give it a little more character. One thing I loved about Chicago was how much character my apartment (and all my friends’ apartments) had. I miss brick walls, real hardwood floors, exposed pipes and everything else. My apartment now is.. cozy I suppose, but it’s so bland. My latest find is this Dog Bone Organizer from Target. We put Molly’s leash, harness, poopy bags and our keys on it. It’s functional and cute!
2. The Silver Palate Thick & Rough Oats
I mentioned this oatmeal in my Chocolate Coconut Granola recipe and cannot say enough good things! The texture is so much better than instant or even some other stove-top brands. I’m fully obsessed. If you’re an oatmeal person, try this!
3. No Smart Phone Zone
I had to mention this because it is by far my favorite thing about March! I’ve been trying to unplug more frequently lately. When I sit down to dinner or to watch TV with my boyfriend, I leave my phone in the other room or even at home if we go out. It’s a strange feeling and sometimes I am a little stressed if I can’t Google something I “need” at that moment, but it’s also really freeing. It’s insane how rude you can be without even realizing it. I’m not trying to preach, and I know my parents are probably like, “DUH, you idiot” right now, but let’s just be grateful I realized this at all. Even if it is ridiculous that it took me this long!
4. Sam’s Club
I AM A PROUD SAM’S CLUB MEMBER! We spent 2 hours walking around on the day we finally decided to commit to a bulk store. We ended up with a stainless trash can, a huge bag of almonds, bulk size Stacy’s Pita Chips, $6 wine, and a bunch of other stuff that one would buy on their first, miraculous trip to Sam’s Club as a member. Have you seen the spices at Sam’s Club? No joke, McCormick spices in a huge container for the same price as those little dinky ones that make you think, “I’d rather die than spend $4 on this.” NO JOKE.

OMG I want a Sam’s Club membership so bad! Kyle’s mom has one that we can use, but I want my own and I too have been trying to cut back on the phone use..I feel like I’m a little too addicted to it. And I love that dog bone organizer!
