It’s time to share all the fun things from the month that I’ve been obsessing over.
Monogram App
So we’re here—I’m getting app recommendations from my kids’ friends. I saw Emma’s friend use the Monogram App to create background and lock screen images for her iPhone and fell in love. The combinations are endless. I’m very sure there’s something better I could have spent $1.99 on but I did it anyway.
South Hill Designs Locket
I’ll be honest, I wasn’t sure these lockets would really be my thing. But listen, after I picked out all these charms, I was, well, charmed. In my locket I have a coffee cup, a sparrow (his eye is on the sparrow), a typewriter, a camera and a little girl with my girls’ mutual birthstone. I’m sure my rep (and friend) JoAnn would love to hook you up with a locket of your own.
FlightTrack App
It’s not new to me, but earlier in the month when I was flying, I was into my FlightTrack app. You can check times of the flights, status, and even maps to watch the flight path as it travels. While you can totally travel without it, I liked being able to check my connecting flight as we taxied in from the first. (That doesn’t sound pretentious at all).
Man Woman Wild
Man Woman Wild is our latest Netflix find. An ex-Green Beret and his British wife get stranded in different locations each week and have to survive for three days on their own. It’s totally staged but still fascinating.
Good Natured Potato Chips
These are really fantastic potato chips. They’re not thin and greasy but thick, crunchy and tasty. The kids don’t care for them and that just means MORE FOR ME. The Cheddar Cheese flavor is my favorite.
HootSuite
I’m a self-professed social media addict and I just now started to use HootSuite this month. Honestly. I’m a little embarrassed to admit it.
I’m able to pull in my Twitter and Facebook accounts and monitor them all from one screen. More importantly, I can post to all of them—and schedule the posts—all from one location.
Sandals
So, 34 is the age I bought my first pair of shoes for the sole purpose of comfort <—see what I did there. And it turns out all those ladies were the smart ones. These sandals are SO comfy. If you’ve been paying attention in my WIWW posts, you’ll see I wear them ALL THE TIME. I can wear them all day and no pain whatsoever. And wow, Aerosoles has all kinds of cute shoes. I think I’ll just take my cardigans and Aerosoles and retire now, thankyouverymuch.
Tangle Teezer
Now, for one of my favorite finds. This is a brush called the Tangle Teezer. Lexi used one at a sleepover and just raved over it. The family had gotten it on a trip to England. We were in luck, though. The same family made a trip back there this summer and bought one for us to save us shipping. It is fantastic. Lexi has such a sensitive scalp but this Tangle Teezer somehow makes it easier to brush. Score! You can get it online here.
Alrighty, those are some highlights from the month. What has captured your attention lately?

What a fun post idea! I’m gonna grab the monogram and flight tracker apps, I too love Hootsuite {having a new blog, I’m working my way to being good with scheduled posts :-)}….. and I’m definitely going to look up the tangle teeter! My daughter has long hair and a very low pain tolerance for dealing with knots. Happy Long weekend!!!

Glad you found a few things to try out! Let me know how it goes.
Monogram app? I’m in! And I simply must look into the Tangle Teezer…that’s a constant battle with my girl. (Oh, check the link for that…I think something’s missing.)

Thanks! Definitely check out the brush. It’s great!
It’s kind of nice admitting that comfy shoes are the BOMB, eh?
It IS. But they have to be CUTE comfy shoes 🙂
The detangling brush sounds like such a great idea.
It’s really great!
Those sandals are adorable! I have kind of bad feet so I have to wear comfort shoes all the time, and they’re rarely that stylish! Somehow I’ve never tried on a pair of Aerosoles – I’ll have to check them out! And I really should try out HootSuite, Tweetdeck quit working on my computer so I’ve relegated Twitter to phone-only status, which isn’t very good!

Definitely try both Aerosoles and Hootsuite and let me know how it goes!
I feel like I have learned so much from this post! And Amy, let’s see if we can positively reframe that comfy (and super cute!) shoe purchase because you’re definitely not that old. No way, no how.
