5 of my favourite things (ok, maybe 6...)

These may sound utterly ridiculous, but are some of the little things (in no particular order) I have come to love that make life SO much easier!

1. I will never wash merino wool sweaters in my sink with special soap ever again.  The handwash cycle on my washer is a miracle; nothing has yet come out the size of clothing for a 5 year old
2. Since I bought the monster bat-catching net 2 years ago, we have not had any bats in the house. Murphy's law, but I don't care since I'm no longer ducking out of the way of flying rodents. 
3. Crock pots.  If you've used one, this requires no explanation.  If you haven't, go get one.  Now.
4. Hot water, grated or minced fresh ginger, lemon juice, honey and cayenne pepper.  A miracle for a cold or flu.  Forget Neo-Citran, this is better (and cheap and 100% natural).  Leave the cayenne out if you don't do spicy.  
5. My Roots boots.  I wear them everywhere, except during the summer months.  My feet are always warm and dry and salt stains are mysteriously non-existent.  2 years of use and I don't have to spray or clean them in any way, shape or form.  Thank you Roots for making the best boots I have ever owned! 

Oh, and my newest favourite - I just bought a food processor.  Seriously, throw a few ingredients in, whiz it up for 5 minutes and ready-to-eat FOOD comes out; white bean rosemary dip and chocolate fudge protein bites are recent addictions.  

What are your faves?
