WFMW – These are a few of my favorite things!

For this week’s WFMW, I couldn’t think of a single thing worthy of a single post. Right now, I’m enjoying a plethora of wonderful things, so I thought, “Why not rave about all of them at once?” Thus, the WFMW “These are a few of my favorite things” edition!

In no certain order, the things I’m currently crushing over are:

~ My Flip video camera – It’s small, it’s portable, it’s super-easy to plug in and upload videos (a USB connector just pops out). And thanks to calculations from my husband’s brain, it’s so much cheaper than buying tapes for a regular camcorder. (And if you back up your videos digitally, it’s also much safer and more secure for preservation.)

~ Calcium supplements – It’s not just for bone density bulking. It’s also become more important for me because of two important things: It helps you get a better night’s rest, and it reduces the symptoms of PMS. I take a calcium-magnesium capsule, since magnesium supposedly helps with absorption.

~ Using Firefox bookmarks/folders for recipe organization – I love using bookmarks/folders within my web browser for many things, but the most time-saving use is for recipes. I find recipes online, then I just drag them into the subcategoried folder (main dishes, salads, etc.) within the top-heading “recipes to try” folder….just like you would file things in a recipe box. It’s super easy to pull up these recipe pages when planning our weekly menus….and I never forget a recipe I want to try.

~ Nutella – Nutella, the creamy, chocolate-hazelnut spread that’s original to France, has made its way into my pantry as of late. It’s delicious by itself, right off the spoon — yes — but it’s also a new favorite smeared over waffles, bagels, and even biscotti. It’s a way to add a little bit of class and elegance to an otherwise regular old weekday.

These are just a few of the newest favorites of mine, which gladly join my long list of other favorite things that I jabber on and on about daily: Etsy, Netflix, Tastebook, Worthington Wire as my new favorite news source, RetailMeNot.com, and Evernote, just to name a few.
