Prime Finds: August 2024

 

Hi Friends!  I am joining Tanya for her Prime Monthly Linkup and sharing some recent favorite Prime Purchases...here we go...

Nut Crumbs

If you like to follow a low carb diet then nut crumbs are a great substitution for bread crumbs.  You can use them when you make meatballs or meatloaf and you can "bread" meat like chicken tenders with them.  They are yummy and give you the emulsifier you may need!

or Sambas to be exact

One Friday Favorite- The Life Of A Dance Mom and Amazon Faves To The Rescue!

 

Hi Friends!  When thinking about content this year, I want to write about the things that bring me joy AND the things that keep YOU interested.  We are usually on the same page and I always like to remain authentic.  I thought it may be time to talk dance again.

I have been a Dance Mom for 13 years in one way or another!  Well we can call it 14 if I include the year I enrolled my stepdaughters in hip hop classes...ha!

 

Diana started dancing at Age 2 at a little studio here in town called "Happy Feet".  She was a wild child and often got rambunctious and wouldn't listen in class...sigh...anyway...she started with ballet class :)

 

 We met such a great group of girls and moms...they were my lifeline back then...we keep in touch somewhat but it is hard as the kids get older and get busier and busier but will always have a soft spot in my heart for this group!

Since that first year,  we have meet some wonderful people over the years....and Diana added to her skill set by also picking up jazz, tap, hip hop, contemporary, ballroom and even musical theater dance to her repertoire.

We went on to Carlene Nazarian Dance Center and then Londonderry Dance Academy where we spent several years and participated in their Nutcracker.

Eva started dancing at Carlene Nazarian at Age 2 and then moved over to LDA as well.

My duties as a Dance Mom got more and more involved over the years...especially during Nutcracker Season when I joined the Tech Crew.

I learned the best brands of leotards and tights and shoes of course....BIG Shout Out to The Dancer's Closet in Nashua  NH- LOVE Linda especially for pointe shoe fittings!

This year we moved to Elite Feet Artists Company right here in town again and this year is our first time stepping into the Dance Comp World...two weeks ago I was with Diana in Boston for the first comp and despite the training I have had over the years...and the endless episodes of Dance Moms I have watched...I don't think I was nearly prepared for how overwhelming this would all be...eek!  Not only is this pricey but demanding and emotional and stressful if I am being honest.  

Anyway, we made the most of it and I was proud of Diana and her ability to hold it all together.

 

 

One of the little things that is helping us through are the little finds on Amazon that work and keep Diana organized so I thought I would share them with you.  

I am dedicating My Friday Favorites to these gems this week and hope if you are a Dance Mom you pick up a new fave or two!  Here we go...

Perfect accessory for securing the hair AND adding a little bling

 

 

Bare Minerals Tinted Moisturizer

This one gave a nice, dark and dramatic look and really helped the eyes to pop on stage

Looking for industrial strength?  Here it is friends!

 

Will definitely have more suggestions as we go through this season...have a feeling I will be writing a comedy piece or two as well...that is when I can laugh a little more and be a little less stressed!  Happy Friday My friends!
