Happy Friday! And where did this month go! I’m already in back to school mode with the kids heading back in a couple weeks. It’s always exciting to start a new routine and meet the kids’ teachers. I feel like it’s a big year with them entering 1st and 4th grade!


It’s been a week of getting organized and focusing on health and cleanliness. Here are some things I’m finding Fab on this Fab Five Friday!

1. Honest Company Shampoo and Conditioner

The kids recently ran out of their shampoo and conditioner, and I was running low, so I decided to try Honest Company brand. I am really loving it so far for all of us. The price point is great, and I like how gentle it is. I’ve even used it to remove makeup. And I have never been disappointed with an Honest Company product.

2. CarCan Trash Can

Keeping the car clean with two kids is impossible. But these CarCan trash cans really help! Brett and I both have one in our car right between the kids seats so they can throw their snack wrappers in the bin instead of on the car floor. They are super convenient and easy to empty out and clean. Definitely recommend!

3. Get Upside App

With the prices of gases soaring right now, I’ve been using Get Upside everytime I visit the pump for cash back on my purchases. It’s so easy! I didn’t believe it when I first heard about it, but it works. I saw in the app while I was writing this that you can get an extra .15 cents a gallon cash back when you sign up using my code JANE7854.


4. Best Summer Hat Ever

I am obsessed with this hat I got from Amazon. It was exactly what I was looking for to hang around the pool and beach this summer. It’s comfortable, adjustable and stylish. I was really worried about ordering a hat online and it getting ruined, but it’s packable, meaning you can roll it up and pack it in your suitcase and it keeps shape. It’s also really great in the water too. I wore it in the pool and the beach and it stayed perfectly shaped.

5. Nordic Naturals Omega 3 Vitamins

I’ve been taking these Omega 3 supplements for a while now and love them. Sometimes with Omega 3 vitamins, you can get a fishy aftertaste but I’ve never had that with these. I even got Brett into them when he read the bottle label and looked into how great Omega 3 is for you. So they are on his Fab Five list too!

Question of the day
