Things I Love Thursday: Funny Stuff, Easy Dinner, and 🌈 Things

by Erin Ussery April 29, 2021

Seasonal purse change-out was overdue, and I found this cute brand online during insomnia hours. Love the colors, and the material can withstand kids who spill smoothies into purses and that awful abyss of a space between the seat and center console.

SO. MANY. OPTIONS.

The link takes you to this exact bag, but promise me you'll do some exploring.

SHORTS FOR TEEN BOYS WHO GROW OVERNIGHT

Typically once we're February-deep or later in the school year, YOYO when it comes to school uniforms.

YOYO = you're own your own. Use it in a sentence today.

Stained, tattered, and slightly too small uniforms are all grounds for me looking the other way while simultaneously hoping the school social worker doesn't call. Because Summer is close enough, amiright?

But then you have a kid who grows in his sleep and risks receiving a fair portion of crap for breaking the shorts no shorter than fingertip length.

Walmart to the rescue.

Performance fabric. Good fit for the lean bods. Only $16.

CROCKPOT BBQ CHICKEN

I'm in a season of hating dinner.

Cooking it, eating it, thinking about it, scraping it into leftover containers that will later be scraped into the trash.

My friend, Katy, gave me this recipe, and it took care of all the things I hate about dinner.

Also, 75% of our kids ate it, which is the highest percentage we have seen to date.

Only change up is that I shredded it while in the crock pot and put it on sandwiches.

PERFECT SHIRT FOR BUGGY/CHILLY NIGHTS

I was a few bucks shy of free shipping and an unexpected Clearance favorite landed in my cart.

Spoiler alert: It's this shirt right here:

Perfect weight for this time of year. Solid and stripe options available. Cropped but not belly-showing short, because if so, that would be on my other blog, "Things I Hate and No One Wants to See"
