Weekly Update
We are feeling very settled into a fall/school routine here in the Bowman household. I now have 2 teenage drivers, and I must say I REALLY like it!
I find myself with more time on my hands and much less time in my car!
I’m feeling quite proud of my girls. They all 3 seem to be thriving this year. They have been working so hard at their studies. Our home is full of textbooks and school chrome books, and most late afternoon/evening you can find my girls studying their little hearts out at the dining room table or nested on the couch.
I watched my sisters ‘littles’ this past weekend and it sure took me back to when my girls were little. It is crazy that instead of toys being strung about our home, it is now textbooks, makeup, and car keys! I’m holding on to the moments and finding this teenage season so much fun.

Chef Vantage BEST Salt & Pepper Shakers
WHO KNEW salt and pepper shakers could make me so happy? I’ve been needing and wanting new s & p shakers for awhile now.
I surprised myself with how picky I felt about what I wanted. I wanted easy to clean, easy to fill, minimal & sleek design, and as functional as possible.
I found all of these things with Chef Vantage Salt & Pepper Shakers. I LOVE that they close all the way, and have adjustable pour with 2 hole sizes, you can clearly see which is salt and which is pepper thanks to the glass bottom.he design is super sleek and blends with any decor. They are easy to fill and wash, and can close all the way, which I love…to keep the
The design is super sleek and blends with any decor. They are easy to fill and wash and can close all the way–which I think is important–to keep the dust out and for sanitary purposes. I knew with a 5-star rating on Amazon that I would love these shakers! I sure do!
