I started last month with this Ukraine-inspired hat… I have plans for some socks and mittens…
2. Succulents
I started last year with many in the bay window of my living room
but now they are everywhere including my kitchen…
3. Live Flowers
It’s great that the ones at Trader Joe’s are affordable and last a long time…
4. IZZE
I just got back into buying them again. You can find them at Target.
Mango and Blackberry are my favorite flavors…
If you wondering about its nutritional value: IZZE Sparkling Juices are made with 70% fruit juice and a dash of sparkling water, with no sugar or preservatives added. IZZE sparkling blackberry juice beverage has 90 calories per eight-ounce can. It contains no fat and 0.3 grams of protein, and it also contains 18 grams of sugar. It also has 0.3 g of dietary fiber and low sodium. It is sweetened with fructose, a naturally occurring sugar.
I just think they taste good.
5. KODIAK CAKES OATMEAL
If you’ve read my blog, you know that oatmeal is my go to pre-race meal. Well, I actually eat oatmeal EVERYDAY!!
I’m sure that most of you make your own oatmeal. I admit that I’m lazy. I eat TWO packages (400 calories, yup!!) every morning.
I vary the flavors and sometimes add raisins but chocolate chip is my favorite.
They even travel well.
and one more for good measure:
6. Alexa
I know I’m late to the party (any my hubby HATES it). I have one in the kitchen and one in the bedroom.
I love being able to have a candle or lamp automatically go on and off a certain times….

My First 5K and More... 
Obviously we’ve had the dots for a very long time. And they get lots of use! I use the one in my bedroom to turn the lights out at night. That way I don’t have to get out of bed after I’m finished reading.

I don’t have the lamp connected in my bedroom. But the lamp is next to my bed so I can read every night.

You do have great race photos! I always look like it was my first time running lol. I buy the kodiak protein oats and make my own baked oatmeal each week. That way I can control the sugar content. The premade packets I take for race days and traveling.

They are great for travel. I do have the oats. But as I said I am lazy.
My race photos are not all great. You should see the ones that I don’t share. Lol

I like the Kodiak protein waffles for a quick breakfast – I’ll have to try their oatmeal.
I love your succulents collection! And you’ve reminded me that I should treat myself to fresh flowers more often – such a nice pick me up!

I love those flowers. I discovered that they are cheap at Trader Joe’s and last for a few weeks.
I have the waffles too. Quick post run snack.

The succulents are taking over your house!
I love oatmeal but always make my own. If I did eat packaged oatmeal, I would eat two packages as well- they never make the serving sizes big enough!
I’m impressed with your hat- I don’t know how to knit.

I’m not a great knitter. I only do simple things.
Yes. One package is nothing.
I used to make my own. But this is faster obviously. And not as healthy of course.

Whoa! You have a green thumb! I love my succulents, too, but they’re not flourishing like yours. I stopped knitting about 10 years ago but I may try crochet or pick up knitting again soon!

I stopped knitting and then started back… nothing complicated, though.

We have an Alexa too but mostly use it for music. My sister asks her for the temperature. 🙂 Is the candle hooked up to Alexa too?

It’s electric so yes.
I use it for music news and the weather too.

I don’t have Alexa, but I have a smart plug and it’s so nice to turn on the living room light before I walk in the door.
Love oatmeal, but didn’t like kodiak pancakes so not sure I’d love that one. I also do not DIY, although I have before. Oaymeal is convenience food for me

Yes. The pancakes were awful.

I hate our Alexa LOL! She’s always butting in when no one is speaking to her.
Your knitting is so beautiful. You have so much talent.

Lol. On Alexa.
No talent. I only knit easy things.
