1. Alarm Clocks – as much as I hate getting up in the AM… my Alarm clock really does get me up and moving. I’ve been getting up around 630am to have plenty of time to do some quiet reading and reflection in the AM. That quiet time in the morning is really helping put my whole day in perspective.
2. Fry Pan – Some of my favorite foods come from the fry pan. Like Quesadillas. Funny, but Quesadilla has become my lunch of choice. almost like a comfort food.
3. Swiss Miss – Speaking of comfort food… I just love Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate. It’s got such a smooth taste, and I get the kind with marshmellows… yum!
4. Duplos – those oversized legos are great for keeping my kids occupied for at least a few minutes! *S* honestly, the baby loves the noise they make when he throws them. But the older two get a kick out of building things. *S*
5. My Parents – I’m so grateful to have a set who not only love me, and did an awesome job raising me… but they are there for me whenever I run into questions about raising my own. And! they are sooo invovled in my kids lives. It’s gonna be hard to move next year. I hope and pray we can stay within driving distance, just so the kids will continue to have their grandparents in their lives… but I know, even if we wound up living across the country, my mom would find some reason to call at least 3 times a week, and the kids would forever want to call their grandparents to share the details of their day. *S* I’m just glad my folks are willing to be so involved.
