Back again!

Well, it's been a long time since I posted any great names from VA's job (and my former employer). As always, a very impressive list:

Adorabli
Seanteeze
Natural Natrail
Forreal
Summer Rayne
Snow Blank
Wealth

I think I've become numb to silly names because I actually thought "Summer Rayne isn't too bad". OH MAN.

Necessary Items

I had big plans to write about the necessary items for bringing home (and raising) a baby (in honor of two mamas who welcomed babies in the past week). However, I'm mourning one of my favorite (non-baby) items right now and I feel like you all need to know about it.

So here we go...item #1.



The Vidalia Chop Wizard (or as we call it "Choppy"). Good ol' Choppy broke the other day and it is killing us. We love him a lot but we're buying a replacement and tossing him in the garbage asap. Seriously, Choppy is (well, was) amazing...you can quickly cut food (including onions) in nice, evenly-sized pieces. Amazing!

2. The Brazilian Blowout. As someone who has been fighting with frizz and humidity for years, I can't believe how life-changing this process has been. I love not having to use a flat iron for straight/smooth hair.

3. The DVR. One of the moms in playgroup mentioned this the other day. SO TRUE. Do you need further explanation? I don't think so.

4. diapers.com. MJ(G) and CCBL both introduced diapers.com to me. It's seriously awesome. They arrive the next day and there is no shipping charge if I order over $50 (which is easy when you're paying for diapers/wipes). It's not the cheapest for Pampers but avoiding the chaos at the big-box stores is worth it to me.
