Good Things

1. Space heaters. Phil brought home this sweet surprise for me yesterday after a quick trip to Walmart. I had been asking for one for a long time because our bathroom is usually f-r-e-e-z-i-n-g and was so excited to see him walk in the door with this! It makes it so much easier to go into the bathroom before bed to wash my face and brush my teeth, and makes my 5:30 workout wakeups a little bit better. It even oscillates and has a remote control! I don't even have to leave it on very long to enjoy it... I just turn it on when I get to my sink and let that yummy warm air blow on my backside. Heaven.

2. Ma Chère Finery. I've been meaning to share my friend Katie's website on here for ages. She's the one who made that adorable flight suit onesie for Emmett a while back. Her site is: www.macherefinery.com and she makes the most wonderful, one-of-a-kind items. She uses the most unique fabrics and her work is just gorgeous. Katie is absolutely amazing herself. Not only is she totally beautiful (she was Miss America 2002) and one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, she has a gorgeous singing voice, AND she is an excellent speaker, AND she acts, AND she's a mom of two, AND she does lots of volunteer work and performs all over the country, AND to top it all of, she now has her own clothing and accessories line! Whew! As for me, today... I did some laundry, changed about 8 diapers, cleaned my bathroom, and watched a DVR'ed TV show. :) Um, yeah.

3. Flower buds. I'm so excited to see them working their way up through the soil! I'm just hoping they don't freeze before they grow tall and bloom. Maybe I should put my space heater out there next to them.

4. Shoes and a great deal. Almost nothing makes me as excited as finding Nine West wedges for $30 at TJ Maxx that look very similar to $165 shoes at J. Crew. Score!!

5. Bike riding. Okay, seeing my big boy expertly steer and ride his bike up and down the sidewalk and feel so proud of himself makes me just as happy as a great deal on shoes.

6. Kite flying. Is there anything better than flying a kite on a gorgeous sunny day with your Daddy and favorite dog? Not to Jackson!
