Frigidaire Test Drive Mom – Symmetry Double Ovens

We welcomed a beautiful new appliance into our home today. Say hello to “Fran”, our new Frigidaire Gallery 30″ Freestanding Electric Double Oven Range. (I named her Fran… it fits, don’t you think?)

I got an email a while back notifying me that the folks at Frigidaire wanted me to be one of the lucky bloggers to test drive their new double oven. I have wanted / needed a double oven for so long and am thrilled to have one as gorgeous as this in my house now. Holiday bread, cookie and turkey baking will be such a breeze this year!

Some of the signature features of the Frigidaire Symmetry Double Oven are:

 

  • Symmetry Double Ovens – Two large ovens, each big enough to cook a 28-pound turkey, provide the flexibility to cook multiple dishes at the same time at different temperatures.
  • Fits-More™ Cooktop – With five elements including two SpaceWise® Expandable elements and a Warming Zone so you can cook more at once.
  • Precision Set™ Controls – Adjust heat levels more precisely, providing exceptional temperature control.
  • Quick Preheat – Preheat in just four minutes. (I am most excited about this… I tend to be a little impatient waiting for my oven to preheat!)

Over the next few months I will be sharing with you my experience using my new Frigidaire oven. I think the first thing I am going to make is a batch of my favorite dinner rolls!

All of the new features are so great, but I forgot to share the feature my girls are most excited about…

The new huge box to play in! The box is keeping them entertained while Fran and I get to know each other. It’s a win-win, don’t you think?

Disclosure: This post was written to announce my participation as a Frigidaire Test Drive Mom. I was given a Frigidaire Symmetry Double Oven Range to keep to facilitate my review. All opinions expressed are my own.

    That is gorgeous! Feel free to give those good people at Frigidaire my address… My kids felt the same way when my husband and I got a giant freezer to put in our garage – the spent days in that box. One of them even took a nap in it!

    Oh, you are so lucky and I’m a little (Lot) envious. By chance, are you giving one of these away? :). It’s not good to be envious but this has been on my list for a while. Let me know how you like it!

Last year I couldn’t believe I was old enough to have an 18 year old. This year I look in the mirror and see someone old enough to have a 19 year old. This past year has been a lot and man, it has physically aged me! But one things solid and firm...I love my kids and am so proud of them! The resilience Jacob has shown this past year has impressed me...”graduating” high school, starting college, all when things have been so up in the air and unsure. And never once complaining about it. My kids haven’t lost a thing this year...instead they’ve gained so much they wouldn’t have gained without this experience. I’m so proud to be their mom. Happy 19th birthday @jacobdoyle02 We are fiercely proud of you and love you so much!

I always read so much in the last couple weeks of the year, I could never have my “best of” choices finalized. Christmas break is my favorite time to read read read!
.
I’m finishing up All About Us and The Prettiest Star, and then have this awesome stack to tackle! What should I read next? So many good ones to choose from! Will any of these make my 2020 top ten?

Feeling festive with @ella.r.doyle & @kelly_k_doyle ! 🌲

This is the recipe my sister-in-law uses and it is the BEST tasting, no fail sugar cookie recipe. It’s from a really old issue of @tasteofhome magazine with a frosting recipe she wrote down in the margin. I could eat so many of these and never get tired of them! If you want the recipe let me know and I’ll dm you the picture! Is making decorated cut out cookies one of your Christmas traditions?

It’s a book giveaway! I often get people asking me for book recommendations. Talking books is one of my favorite things to do! So when @librofm gave me the opportunity to give away three audio copies of any audiobook I wanted to, I knew immediately which book I wanted to share.
.
@roblowe book, Stories I Only Tell My Friends is the audiobook I recommend to EVERYONE. It is a book I listened to years ago, not expecting to love it, but I absolutely did. First of all, Rob Lowe narrates...so there’s that lovely bonus. But Stories I Only Tell My Friends is a funny, raw, emotional, informative, peek inside of the life of a really fascinating celebrity.
.
I wasn’t a Rob Lowe super fan before. I haven’t watched West Wing (I know, I know), Brothers & Sisters, Parks & Rec, or any of his TV shows, but I have always been a HUGE Brat Pack fan. Well, after listening to this audiobook I am a big fan (and his other audiobook, Love Life, is great too).
.
Long story short, I have three codes through @librofm to give to 3 people. To enter, leave a comment on this post by midnight CST on 12/16 telling me what your favorite audiobook is and why! Also, definitely check out Libro.fm - the best audiobook platform that also gives back to local bookstores!

“I can’t wait for my seasonal depression to meet my year 2020 depression.” 😩
.
If S.A.D is something you worry about each year, but especially this year, let me introduce you to my seasonal affective disorder game changer, the @sunrisesensations light therapy lamp. I ordered one of these lamps last year at the recommendation of my friend @leslieradams and it is the best (& most stylish) light therapy lamp I’ve ever used. I absolutely love it and highly recommend it...it’s well worth the money.
.
@sunrisesensations has a new, smaller lamp called Bright Box. The size snd functionality is perfect for a nightstand or office desk. Let me know if you have any questions about how these lamps continue to help me fight those pesky winter blues! Check out Sunrise Sensations to find the right UV free light therapy box for you!

Alright, alright, alright! It’s time to talk about how we can support our local bookstore during the holidays and beyond! As you consider buying gifts this year, make sure you shop local for all the book people on your list! One unique and super easy way you can support your favorite local bookstores is with an audiobook subscription to @librofm Yes! Audiobooks! With Libro.fm you can financially support your local bookstore AND buy audiobooks all at the same time. Each audiobook purchase supports the independent book store of your choice! Do it for yourself and buy some audiobooks for friends too!
.

If you need audiobook ideas, hit me up. I’ve listened to so many great books this year that will make it on my top favorites list, including Greenlights by @officiallymcconaughey It’s narrated by the author and is so worth the listen! Your ears will thank you!
.
PS my favorite #localbookstore @rainydaybooks is under renovation which makes it even better that I can still safely support them from the comfort of my own home!

Have you ever dreamed of being a writer? 2 of the business coaching clients I’m currently working with have dreams of being a published fiction book author and cookbook author. Each week we’ve been chipping away at their big goals, making these dreams of theirs more and more of a reality. And each week I have this little nudging feeling inside that reminds me that writing a book was once a dream of mine...and I’ve gotten so far away from that dream. I barely even write anymore. Heck - writing an instagram caption is even a challenge. As someone who used to be a really good writer, that’s so frustrating to me. Where’d my voice go?
.

William Morrow Publishers recently sent me the book Make Me Rain: Poems and Prose by the incredibly gifted writer Nikki Giovanni. This book is full of poems and prose relevant to todays world. I imagined Giovanni walking around observing life, with a notebook tucked under her arm everywhere she went, and writing. Just pulling out the notebook and writing. I used to be that way and this beautiful book makes me want to write again.
.

Are you a writer? Do you journal, write poetry, write for fun, or are you working on a book? What does your writing practice look like? I think the biggest key for me is to just get back to it. Dedicate a time each day and at the very least just write - about life, observations, and more. Writer friends or journaling experts ...I’d love to hear what your writing practice looks like. Tips, tricks, ideas to help get what’s inside out on paper.
.

Thank you @williammorrowbooks for gifting me this beautiful book. It’s inspired and awakened something inside of me and I appreciate that so much!
