The little things

Happy Sunday!

All this week I have been thinking of things to blog about...and here's what I have come up with:

I have increasingly become aware of some of the "little things" that I go through life never acknowledging, but notice that they come in handy A LOT. Some significant and some so silly and crazy I'm almost embarrased to mention them (but I will). :)

1. Chapstick. With sparkles. I have recently found chapstick with a "shimmer" and find that I am addicted. Now, it's not your jar of carmex, or a fruit flavored balm, but it's fun (and by fun I mean makes me feel like I am wearing some kind of make up) AND it keeps my lips soft in the fridgid cold that is the midwest. So I'm hooked.

2. Lysol wipes. I have found that I am using these ALL of the time now that I have a child/gotten a cold/child has gotten a cold, etc. There are so many things to wipe....the counter, highchair, rattle, door knobs, tv remotes, phones, hand rails, toys, refridgerator handles, car keys, excersaucer, car seats, computer keyboards........

3. Car seat covers. Having a baby be in a car carrier in the middle of winter had been interesting until I invested $30 in a Eddie Bauer Car seat cover from Target. It's brown and pink, zips up over doodles and keeps her warm. So long to the too small blanket blowing off from the wind gusts of the plains, this little baby is MAGIC. I would highly suggest anyone with a baby in the winter have one of these.

4. A route 44 Diet Cherry Coke from Sonic. Here's the beauty of this deal. Our Sonic locations have .99 Route 44 drinks in the morning. How else would you think I could make it through my day??

5. My husband. Now, I know I said I don't normally acknowledge a lot of these things, but this one I am SO thankful for. You want to know why? Because if I ask him to please make my sandwich for lunch, he does it. And he knows exactly how many slices of turkey or knows what my "peanut butter to jelly ratio" is. That my friends, is the true meaning of love.

So there it is. Nothing fabulous, just some fun observations from the week. What are your "little things"? Let me know, I just might send you some shimmery chapstick for the best answer. :)

Have a great week!
