Apparently, I was very into history for this month’s book reviews and recommendations. From reading about Alexander Hamilton as told through the viewpoint of his wife to the Armenian genocide to a fun book by a Wisconsin author, I really enjoyed reading each story this month. I hope you find a book or two you might enjoy yourself!
You probably thought this post was going to be sentimental and that I was going to have an answer such as my children or my husband (which are both true) but that’s not the response I’m going to give.
The best material gift I have ever received is my Kindle – hands down!
I don’t enjoy playing the typical baby shower games. Smelling “dirty” diapers to guess the candy bar – no thank you. Drinking apple juice out of a baby bottle, I’ll pass. But I am a competitive person and when hosting a baby shower you need activities to fill the time so my favorite go-to shower game is Jeopardy. I like that you play the game in teams allowing various groups at the party to interact and with a set number of questions you know the game won’t go on forever.
Do babies really need all this stuff? No, not exactly but a lot of these items can definitely make a parent’s life easier and a baby much happier! Make sure to add these gear (travel, play, development, etc) items to your baby registry because they tend to be on the more expensive side and you’ll be surprised at what your generous family and friends are willing to buy you.
I love oatmeal desserts. Ben & Jerry’s Oat of This Swirled ice cream flavor has been my favorite since it came out. I often make oatmeal cream pie sandwich cookies but you have to make a ton of cookies and then end up with half when you sandwich them together.
I decided to invent the oatmeal cream pie cookie cup and I am very happy with the results. This recipe is super easy to make and the cookies are very filling. I promise to type up the mini version soon!
