Thursday Thirteen

I haven't done Thursday Thirteen in a while but I thought today was a good time to bring it back. Today's installment is 13 things that I love right now.

  1. My Camelbak water bottle: It's essential to keep hydrated when you are nursing. I love this bottle for it's size and that you don't have to unscrew a top. I love that it's spill-proof and leak-proof.
  2. Miracle blanket: Oliver loves to be swaddled and this is the only blanket where he can't get his arms out. It always seems to calm him down
  3. Brest friend nursing pillow: With Owen, I used the Boppy pillow when I nursed him. A friend of a friend suggested this pillow and said it was so much better. Oh my goodness, it is so much better! It gives more support to Oliver and to my back. I had a friend lend me hers so now I have one upstairs and downstairs.
  4. ERGO carrier with infant insert: This has been a lifesaver when Oliver just wants to be held. I can use my hands and play with Owen while keeping Oliver happy.
  5. My Baby Jogger City Select stroller: This stroller is awesome. You can arrange it 16 different ways but what I love about is that it is easy to push and it's not too long or too wide. Without this stroller, I wouldn't be able to get out anywhere. Thanks Mom and Emma for your help in buying this stroller..it's so worth it!
  6. Fireside Coffee mix: This drink mix recipe was given to me by mother-in-law. It's basically instant coffee, nesquick, creamer, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. I made a batch for Owen's teachers/therapists and us before Christmas. We drank it up so fast that I made us another huge batch. I love a huge mug of this every afternoon.
  7. Green chile chicken and lime soup: I found this recipe last week and we made it the other night when my brother and sister in law came over. It was so yummy! It made tons so I have been eating it for days.
  8. My new laminator: I got this with some birthday money. I made cute luggage tags for the boys' bags and have all kinds of ideas for future projects.
  9. My HOME club ladies: This is my mom's group that meets on Friday mornings at church. They are an awesome group of Godly women who have been so encouraging and supportive since we moved here to Charlotte.
  10. Sleep: I need more of this right now and I love what little I am getting. :)
  11. Insurance: So thankful that we have insurance after seeing what it would have cost me to deliver Oliver.
  12. Our 365 project: I love that we are conscientiously taking pictures every day. While some days have been a struggle, it has given us some fun laughs.
  13. Last but most important, My 3 guys

You are going to love that you have all your thoughts and pictures documented one day. Keep it up! I've been going thru old pictures and can't even identify the year and sadly some of the people. Wish I had been better at keeping up with what was going on. Love you!
