AMAZON PURCHASES...COVID-19 EDITION

I’m going to continue as normal with monthly Amazon posts but now with a twist, calling this the COVID-19 edition…things you may need or want during this time. And I do want you to know my feelings on deliveries. Of course I don’t want anything coming from overseas, but if it’s from a warehouse here, AND PRIME, I let the box sit on my porch for 24 hours, then I bring it in with gloves, open it up and take out the contents, then discard the cardboard and disinfect where it was sitting and wash my hands. While I’m not ordering even a fraction of what I normally do, I do think deliveries can be safe if you do your part and it keeps these people in business!

Disposable Gloves

If you buy anything at all during this pandemic, these are the best things you can get if you’re planning on going to the grocery store. I also put them on to bring in packages, go and get the mail, etc..just pull them off inside out and throw them out.

Metatarsal Foot Pad Sleeves

If you see my walk and talk on Instagram Stories , you may have seen that I was having some trouble with my left foot metatarsal area, these foot pad sleeves, put on under my socks and my tennis shoes are a lifesaver! Highly recommended!

Old Wisconsin Turkey Snack Sticks

My boys absolutely love these turkey snack sticks and so do I, low cal and no carbs but high protein! Our local grocery stopped carrying them so now I’m so excited I can get a huge box of them on Amazon which is so much cheaper anyway!

HighKey Snacks

I have shared my love of HighKey snacks with you before, especially the mini cookies but since then I’ve also tried the cinnamon and almond granola and the Blueberry muffins, and they are both just as yummy! I especially love making a strawberry and yogurt parfaits with the granola!

Ruffle skirt

This adorable red and leopard print SKIRT was one I got to take on my Florida trip that got canceled. But I didn’t return it, I kept it so I can wear it all summer long! And even in quarantine, I may just wear it around the house as it is so comfortable with a little tank top or T-shirt.

FRIDAY FAVORITES..THE DAY THAT KEPT ME SANE

Happy Friday my friends! I know it might not seem happy but promise me you’ll try and find some small joys today and this weekend! It’s hard to even put into words what this time in our world is right now isn’t it? I want to say a big thank you for all your prayers and comments regarding my skin cancer removal yesterday, I felt your love and positive vibes. I also want to thank you for supporting my Instagram stories walk and talk, while I may not be walking as much because of my left foot metatarsal issues, I ordered some foot pads that should help and my mouth isn’t hurt, so I can still talk, LOL!

1. SUNDAY WITH MR. NINE
After a week of quarantine, my husband knew I was going a little bit crazy and he suggested we go for a drive last Sunday so that’s exactly what we did before all these lockdowns went into place. It was cold, but we drove an hour up to beautiful lake Michigan, he got some pictures I needed of the jacket outfit below and we just enjoyed a day singing Kenny Rogers in the car and making pitstops at beaches along Lake Michigan! It was serene and peaceful!

I truly felt like it helped my sanity, so I encourage you to do whatever it takes to keep your sanity and maybe it’s just that joint car ride to the grocery store together where you all sing to the top of your lungs! Or maybe have a picnic in the backyard! Or plan a romantic night by candlelight where you both get dressed up at home! Jam even if you are alone!

I hope to be back to you this
Summer Silver Beach!

The beach below is where Mr. Nine used to party
at in High School, lol

That's a wrap. Cheers to a sweet car date and
It's only water in my Yeti, I promise!!

2. THIS CABI JEAN JACKET

I have wanted some pieces of Cabi clothing from the first time I saw their cuteness! The styles, the fit, the patterns are all so gorgeous! So, I was overjoyed when Cabi gifted me with this Darling Dylan Jacket! It is the cutest denim jacket with a swing back. The removable denim belt can be tied in the back or in the front which just adds to the cuteness! Mr. Nine was so sweet to get some pictures of me at a deserted art museum before the travel bans went into effect during our car date day!
