I’ve seen these kinds of posts around quite a bit, and thought… hey, I want to share some of my recent obsessions, too! My focus is less on products though, and more on things that are just making my life easier or better. So here we go — the things I’ve been loving lately!
❤️ MoviePass
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… I am obsessed with MoviePass. I wrote an in depth review of it here, but the basic premise is you pay $9.95 a month and can see unlimited movies in theater. I’ve had it since September and have seen more than 30 movies in theaters since then. I probably went once or twice a year previously. I really love going to the movies now. It’s one way for me to get some “me” time in and just not have to deal with people for a bit since I do that all day at work. HA!
❤️ Spotify
For years, I used an old iPod classic (one of the ones with the spin wheel) and I was devastated a few years ago when it went missing (we believe it was stolen from my car). There went THOUSANDS of songs and years of building up my music library! I felt kind of lost. I mean… I ran all of my races and half-marathon with that thing. How could I work out without music?! A few months ago, my friend Angela added me to her Spotify account and WOW, is this thing cool! I’ve got it on my phone, so now my music goes everywhere with me. Whenever I hear or remember a song I like, I can add it instantly. I only have a couple hundred songs so far, but I’m sure I’ll slowly continue to build it up. I still think I want an iPod again, but I may be able to live without one now! What do you all use for music?
❤️ Google Docs
Um, where have I been? I just started using Google Docs and it’s a game changer. I’ve been keeping a notebook with various lists (OCD much?) for things like my Halloween village, Hallmark Christmas movies I’ve watched, TV shows I want to watch, a wishlist, etc. I transferred it all over to Docs and threw out the notebook. It’s awesome being able to access it from any computer, and yay for throwing more junk out! Who else uses Docs?
❤️ Child Watch at the Y
I just love it! This was the biggest reason we decided to switch from our old gym to the YMCA. It makes going to the gym SO much easier because instead of having to drop Caleb off somewhere before I hit the gym, he can just come with me and it saves time. Best of all, he LOVES it. The ladies in there are so sweet, and I love that he’s getting the chance to socialize with other kids before starting preschool in the fall.
❤️ American Idol
I just love this show, guys. I honestly hadn’t watched it for years, and then remember when they had the “farewell” season a couple of years back and made a big fuss about it being the final season? Well, since it was “ending,” I decided I might as well watch it again. I got hooked and was sad that it was over. Then, they brought it back this year and I’m pretty pumped about it. It’s just so fun and I honestly don’t think any of the other singing or competition shows can compare. I think it’s a classic. Anyone else watching this year?
❤️ Chicken French
This is kind of a regional dish. The chicken is coated in an egg batter and cooked in a lemon wine sauce, then served over pasta. This has been my big pregnancy craving lately, and we’ve gone to eat at Bella Pasta the last three Saturday nights so I could get some. HA!
That’s what I’ve been loving lately — now it’s your turn. What little things are making you smile right now?
