a tip for remembering your vitamins

vitamin handful med minder--for vitamins!
When Carrie was here she passed along this great tip for remembering your vitamins: use a "med minder"! Med minders are those plastic "days of the week" containers that old people use to organize their medications. It had never occurred to me to use one of these for vitamins, but as soon as I saw Carrie's I became obsessed with the idea. I love having things neatly organized and I love structure and routine, so this is right up my alley. Currently I'm taking a multivitamin, two fish oils, an iron, and a vitamin D. I'd love to hear your recommendations for supplements too. What are you taking that you love?? multivites
Frankly, the only reason I chose this multivite is that the tablets are smaller (you have to take two, but I prefer that to taking one giant one). Do you have a multivitamin recommendation?

new clothes from tea

new clothes (tea collection) ice cream and wearing their new outfits tuesday 8/1
I decided to try some clothes from Tea for the boys. I really like their current catalog but mostly I decided to try Tea right now because Rainer has been going through a picky phase and I wanted to try their soft knit pants for him.  He doesn't like anything with big inside pockets or  flaps to annoy him.   I am happy with everything so far. In the photos he is wearing the denim-look knit pants and he loves them. I also got him the cargo knit pants.  I love all the shirts in the catalog right now.  The boys picked the designs they liked.

I can never convince the boys to pick clothes based on my taste alone--they always have their own taste and opinions so I let them pick what they like.  How about you?
