1. My Space Heater
Fall feels like winter in Minnesota and this little heater makes my bathroom toasty while I get ready in the morning. This also works well at keeping your feet warm by placing it under the desk in your office.

2. Unkers
Do you remember Vicks Vaporub? This is the upgraded version. It’s a menthol rub for aches, pains, congestion, and more. We use this for everything – sore throat, sore muscles, and cough/congestion.
Buy this now, then when you get sore muscle, you’ll be so glad you have it in your cabinet.

3. Kohlrobi Noodles
Allow me to introduce you to the vegetable you never knew you loved. Crisp, fresh, and crunchy kohlrabi is a turnip-like cabbage rich in fiber, vitamin C, B vitamins, and potassium.
Ted and I call it our favorite “pasta.” It’s a vegetable full of flavor and makes a delicious spaghetti substitute. We sauté it with a little olive oil, add sauce and its oh. so. good.
We get our Kohlrabi (and an amazing Superfood pasta sauce) delivered through Hungry Root, a subscription-based food service.
Why we like Hungry Root:
- great tasting food
- organic
- pre-made or can be cooked in one pan
- makes eating healthy a little easier.

4. Watching my kids play ball
I’ve never been very athletic, and didn’t grow up playing or watching sports, but seeing my boys work hard and compete is pure joy.
We just finished the football season for Clark and Luke, the soccer season for George and Paul, and now all four boys are playing basketball. I love basketball because (1) it’s inside and you don’t have to worry about weather and (2) it’s so active and up close!

6. Teaching
I’ve been subbing in our school district a couple of days each week. I teach grades Kindergarten and all the way up to twelfth grade. Each day is a new adventure – but what a joy to get to love on, invest in, and encourage kids each week.
My current favorite is teaching middle school – specifically if my kids are in one of my classes.
When I was teaching 6th grade this week, a student saw “Mrs. Egly” written on the board and said:
“Are you Clark’s sister?”
That, right there, is why I LOVE teaching 6th graders, and how you earn “teacher’s pet status!”

7. Target’s Good and Gather brand
There are so many delicious Good and Gather Products, but my two current favorites are:
Jalapeño Avacado hummus and Cranberry Jalapeño dip.

8. Plugged in online
This website is a great resource for parents. When my boys ask to watch a movie and I don’t know much about it, I look it up on PluggedIn. They write comprehensive reviews of movies, TV shows, and music.
