A Couple More

Alright, I have a couple more new loves to reveal today. First, my new toy. My loving, wonderful, fabulous husband took me to the AT&T store yesterday and bought me an iPad. I wondered how much use I would get out of it and if I would use it like my mind said I would. We all know how this works. We long for something. We have to have it. We neeeeeed it. Then we get it and use it once or twice and throw it in the corner only to never use it again (i.e. the Wii Fit I got for Christmas in 2009, the jet tub, half of my closet, my golf clubs...wow, can we say wasteful Stacia?). However, the iPad is nothing short of amazing. Nate has now been calling himself an iPad widow. Now that I have this little beauty my housework that never gets done will, well, continue to never get done and cooking dinner will be a thing of the past. I have important stuff to do my new iPad. Don't bother me.


My second new love. These slow cooker covers that have been sitting in my cabinet drawer for months but I always forget about. I love using my slow cooker during the week but I hate cleaning up the bowl after using it. We've all made slow cooker meals before and know that the mess in a slow cooker is just about the worst. Especially if you're making something that can really get crusted on. You soak it, wash it, see the crust is still on there, scrub it with steel wool, put unsightly black scratches on it, and then realize that maybe the crust was better than looking at those ugly black scratches. But now there is a solution. These wonderful slow cooker covers.

Before starting you put them over the bowl...


Then put in what you're cooking. For me, it's ribs.


Cover and cook.


When you're done, you have a wonderfully cooked meal with relatively little mess. I'm telling you, it's wonderful.

By the way, look at my two handsome boys before church today. Do you get any more handsome than this?


Seriously, don't even get me started on all the wonderful things they were saying about Cooper after services. Seriously. I would hate to be a gloating Mom.
