BK's Zesty Sauce with their onion rings Their onion rings alone really aren't that great, but add their zesty sauce to them and they're super! This is one of my favorite things to eat! Not healthy, I know, but MMMMMMMMMM good!
Night Light Outlet Combo Once Annabelle started crawling she started getting into everything, including pulling the nightlight off of the wall. Her nightlight was plugged into a low outlet in her bedroom, so she was able to easily get to it. One day heaven shone down upon me and revealed an LED night light outlet combo (similar to this one) at Lowe's. It's only like $12, and SO worth it! I don't have to worry about her pulling the light off of the wall and injuring herself with either the light bulb, prongs, or leaving the outlet exposed and ready for the insertion of small objects. Of course, this night light has a light sensor too, so it turns off in the light and on in the dark. It's great! I could definitely see using this in a hallway too... and probably will use a few more of them in halls, bathrooms, bedrooms, etc. when we add on to the house.
Hoover's SteamVac A little over a month ago I decided to buy a steam vac instead of continually renting them from Home Depot. This Hoover SteamVac had really good reviews, so I got it. We just now got it out of the box and used it, and it is great! It's amazing to see the dirty water that comes out after cleaning the carpet. I knew my carpets had some dirty spots, but WOW! The only complaint is that it only holds 1 gallon of water (as opposed to the 3 or so gallons that the HD one uses), but that really isn't even a big deal. Admittedly we (and by "we", I mean Nicole and I) have only used it this once, but so far, I'm very happy with it!
Belle's Bike Seat for my bike Annabelle seems to really enjoy our bike rides since she's able to see where we're going. She can barely see over the front, but in another month or so, I'm sure that won't be a problem. I have a cruiser bike, so seeing over Annabelle isn't a problem (and she'll probably outgrow it weight-wise before it is a problem), but it might be if you have a racing bike where you're leaning forward when you ride. Your knees have to go at a weird angle too, but it isn't too uncomfortable and I don't mind it. My seat is nearly the same as this one Nikki found a much cheaper one at WalMart too, so you might want to check there if you're looking for one.
Sonic's Strawberry Limeade Slush I've been a longtime fan of Sonic's Cherry Limeade Slush, but recently I accidentally drank the strawberry version and I LOVE it! I get one nearly everytime I'm in the Sonic neighborhoood now!
Oxiclean Spray This is the BEST addition to my laundry room ever! Not only does it get pretty much any stain out of Annabelle's clothing (no matter if it's food, poop, dirt, etc.), but it gets all of the smell out of Keith's stinky play clothes! The trick is that you have to spray the "stain" and let it sit for at least 10 minutes (longer if it's a tough stain) before laundering. I've had a couple of REALLY stubborn stains that I had to douse then let them sit for a couple of days, but I think every time that I've done that, the stain has disappeared! Oxiclean Spray rules!
Steak N Shake's Banana Split Milkshake (no nuts) Since I discovered these, I've been hooked! When you're craving icecream, what could be better than a banana milkshake with real strawberries, chocolate syrup, and caramel syrup?! Not much!
That's all I can think of for now, but if you have a favorite you'd like to share, post away! :)

The Keriland Blog is one of my favorite things!!
Cute post. I'll have to try to Oxiclean spray, it sounds better than Shout!! We just inherited a steam cleaner too - my parents replaced all their carpets and gave us a small bissell. I'm curious to see how it works - as we have lots of "pet" stains. Yum, that milkshake sounds good!!
I'll have to try the Oxiclean Spray. Zach is a messy little boy!
Can you believe we don't have Sonic's down here. You totally have me craving a Strawberry Limeade Slush now.
My new favorite thing is Nature's Miracle .. we've only had the puppies a week and a half and have gone through half a bottle. Its supposedly great for any organic stain on any surface (even clothes).
When I lived down south there were always saw commercials for Sonic and I was dying to try it .. now I've driven by Sonic at least 5 times since moving here, and have yet to stop. Do they have anything else good there?
Yes! Nature's Miracle! Now that you mention that, I remember that I meant to put that on my list too! Unfortunately we use it on our carpets quite often. I've had to use it on cushions and stuff too, and it works great. I have to keep telling Keith that you don't clean it back up though... let nature evaporate it and it'll work. :)
I've tried it on clothes for stains, but OxiClean works better for that.
And yes, Sonic's drinks are AWESOME! Their food isn't that great (except for their tots), but they have a crazy selection of drinks! And if you go between 2 and 5 (I think those are the right hours... it's after lunch and before work gets out), then it's "happy hour" which means all drinks are half price! Only like $.79 for a 32oz. Strawberry Limeade Slush!
