2. Clean laundry. And when I say clean laundry, I mean laundry
that has been washed, dried, folded and put away. It rarely happens all at once in my house. We’re usually picking clothes from a clean pile
on the dresser or a hamper. By the time we
put it all away, there are normally enough piles of dirty clothes to pick up
and throw in the washing machine again.
On the rare occasion that the laundry is put away on the same day that
it’s washed, it’s my favourite.
3. All things mini. Mini-ketchup, mini-Vaseline, mini-hot
sauce. Everything is just so much cuter
when it’s mini.
4. Clean sheet day. Is there anything better than climbing into
crisp, clean sheets?! The answer is
no. No, there really isn’t.
5. Sleeping in. My husband works shifts so as far as weekends
go, he’s home every other. I work Monday
to Friday, so I’m home every weekend. That means that there are two mornings every
other week with both he and I home. Sadly,
it means one sleep-in per parent every two weeks. It’s not the greatest ratio of sleep-ins to
early rises, especially when our kids normally wake up between 6-6:30am. On those glorious mornings that I do have the
luxury of sleeping, I soak it up for as long as I can. Even if I can’t sleep past 8am, I’ll stay
cozy under the covers and read for at least an hour more.
6. New Chucks. I bought my first pair of Converse All-Stars
22 years ago and have loved every new pair since. The white rubber toe looking so white and
fresh. I try to keep them clean for as
long as I can, which is way easier now than when I was a kid.
7. The Christmas season. It’s just such an amazing time of year. Making time to see everyone that we don’t get
to see as often as we’d like throughout the year is great. The smells of the season, the decorations,
the music, the magic and excitement of Santa Claus. Our family was introduced to Tiny, our Elf on
the Shelf last year. Finding his tricky
hiding spots every morning made the month of December even more fun.
8. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. I can’t be trusted with any around me. I will eat them. All of them.
9. Long baths. I saw a relaxing bath post on Pinterest not too long ago with
a ½ cup Epsom salts, a ½ cup baking soda and 10 drops off essential lavender
oil. It’s the most glorious of baths I
have ever soaked in. Not only does it
feel and smell great while I’m in it, once I get out my skin feels soft and
smooth and I’m so relaxed that I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the
pillow. You should definitely try it.
10. Raspberry fingers. My kids eat their raspberries like this EVERY
TIME and I love it.
11. Sitting on my front porch. It’s where I like to drink my coffee in the
morning and my water at night. It’s so
much better than sitting in our backyard for some reason. It’s often times where you’ll find me when I’m
looking to escape my kids for a few minutes during the day.
12. Taking my lunch to work. It’s a new thing for me and something I wish
I’d been doing all along. I find that I’m
eating way healthier than when I was buying my lunch every day and the cost savings
alone makes it so worth the trouble of fixing something the night before.
13. Videos of people falling. It’s true that I’ve been called sinister due
to my love of watching people hurt themselves but come on. I mean, really. Tell me you can watch this video and not
laugh until you cry. I can’t.
14. This:
I love that I had a problem today that I took to Twitter (fruit-flies!)
and within a couple of minutes had been offered a solution to get rid of them
naturally: apple cider vinegar in a bowl covered in saran wrap with little
fork-holes poked in it. The teensy
little buggers took to it right away.
Can’t wait to see what carnage the morning brings!
15. These nerds. They’re my most favourite things of all
time.
