What I'm Loving {9}

Wow! I haven't participated in this link up since JUNE.  So what are we loving these days at the Buergler House?  So many things. In fact I've debated about breaking this into multiple weeks, but nah...I have too many other fun things to write about!

In no particular order.  I am loving....

 Berkey Water Filter.

Eric and I read about this on Kitchen Stewardship (a catholic-hippie-foodie-mama). It's a bit pricey. But our tap water smells like a swimming pool and we don't believe in bottled water, so we thought the investment was worth the money. Merry Christmas to us!

(we each get $10 if you sign up and purchase through my link!!!) - It's a baby and kids online consignment sale. Genius right? I bought Evie 6 items, some still with tags "from" Baby Gap and Gymboree, including a flannel shirt dress and a sweater dress for a total of $40 with free shipping.  They are in mint condition. Quick shipping. And they even sent me a bag (with postage paid) to mail in some of our clothes to consign.

We're big into real food and low grains around here. And we love our crockpot. And I hate doing dishes. Y'all, this cookbook has been a life saver. Batch prepared freezer meals with pre-made grocery lists. Please and thank you.  And so, so delicious!

Click! Workshops
 My dad and I took our first photography class with them. I learned all about white balance, manual mode, and prime lenses.  I practiced a bit, but it was so much information at once and I got lazy and went back to priority mode.  Well, as a birthday gift, my parents gave me the refresher course.  The course ended up being 3 students. So we met at Starbucks and we had 2 hours to work with a professional.  So much fun!

Gap shirts in tall
I just discovered this online. I am not a "tall" by height. I just have a long torso and need a lot of fabric to cover the top...if you know what I mean... so my shirts are never long enough!  Gap Tall. you are my new favorite!

Stride Rite Outlet 
Lil'miss Evie takes after her mother: super wide feet.  With the cold weather and her learning to walk I thought it was time for shoes. But $40 a pair at Stride Rite? No thank you.  Fortunately I learned there is an outlet in North Georgia.  Worth the drive. $18 a pair! Thanks, Grandma Buergler!

This pedometer tracks steps, milage, stairs (and elevation in the form of stairs), and your sleep.  I bought it on a whim with a gift card and coupon at Target and have already lost 5lbs just by being aware of my activity level each day.  Their website is so pretty with all it's charts and stuff...you should check it out and friend me if you have one! I love competition :)

Merrell Barefoot shoes

Speaking of the outlets. I scored a deal on these bad boys girls. Barefoot shoes that are creepy toe shoes (cough, cough, Eric, cough)  I bought the mulberry to wear with my boot cut jeans. They look like a regular ballet flat but feel like a glove.


Wow, I feel like I am doing a sales pitch, but I am really loving these things!!!

Linking up for What I'm Loving Wednesday over at this kind of love

Where has she been?*

It's been a while, friends. Hi! Where did we leave off?  Ah yes, the roach .  He's still alive.  It's been over 10 days.  Though, he's slowing down and looking a little skinnier than when we first found him.  Maybe I'm making it up. I've started my new job with my friends lawn maintenance company.  Most of my time has been spent learning all the new (to me) software, moving the office to it's new locations, and just learning what the company does and offers.  Chris and I have had a great time working together so far.  I'm really enjoying learning new things.  Chris has already taught me a lot about great customer service. This weekend was my last retreat with middle school kids.  It was bittersweet. We had a spirit filled weekend full of lots of laughs, low ropes, rock wall, ultimate frisbee, prayer, and learning about Jesus. Our theme was "You Never Let Go" and we discussed three parables:  The Lost Sheep, The Lost Coin, ...

Baking with Betty: Dunwoody Dip

You're probably asking yourself, what is Dunwoody Dip? And it's a great question! It's easy to make. Melty. Cheesy. Meaty. A little bit spicy. And everyone LOVES it!  The origin, though, it's a more difficult to nail down.  My grandmother, who is from Dunwoody, Ga, actually heard about this dip when she was visiting friends in Denver.  Urban legend has it that some guy brought the dip to a party in Denver and when prompted for a name he stalled and said "Dunwoody Dip." Because, apparently he was from Dunwoody.   Who really knows? All I do know, is that this dip is yummy, very easy to make, and is always the first gone at a party or family get together.  Also, Eric might have married me because of this... Dunwoody Dip Ingredients: One tube of Jimmy Dean Hot Sausage Two cans of Rotel Tomatoes - Hot Two bars of Cream Cheese Big bag of Fritos Scoops Directions: Preheat oven to 325. In a large frying pan over medium-ish heat, brown the sausage. ...
