Friday Things 13

one. BFFs

I always hoped that Annabelle would have a little girl friend the same age as her… and I think my dream is coming true! I’ve mentioned Kim on my  blog before – here and here – and my love for her and her family continues to grow! Seeing Annabelle and Lia finally warming up to each other (you know how toddlers are) is amazing. These two are going to be trouble though…

two. family of three.

I truly love my little family of three (four if you include Muffin), but I cannot lie that I am constantly thinking about us someday being a family of four! However, after our vacation, B and I have decided that if we do have more children, we will NEVER travel alone. We will always go with our families because relaxation is impossible when you’re chasing a toddler around.

three. my favorite morning smells. 

A little Joy for happiness, a little Lemon for freshness, and Peppermint for energy. When you are going to be chasing a toddler around all morning – one needs some help! These are three of my favorite Young Living essential oils to diffuse in my kitchen (which opens up to my living room, where we spend our day!). What’s your favorite diffusing blend?

four. Garlic Expressions. 

I have to thank Kim for leaving a bottle of Garlic Expressions to our house a few months ago… we are OBSESSED. We use it for everything from salad dressing to marinades for tofu or chicken. I even like to dip my Italian bread in it!

five. Annabelle’s FAVORITE toys.

 

Yesterday  I bought Annabelle the Circo Deluxe Nursery Playset from Target and watched her play alone for over two hours! I have never seen her play this independently and intently with anything for so long. She loves taking care of her baby dolls and stuffed animals, so the nursery set is perfect. We also have a stroller and some feeding toys that she can’t get enough of. Someday she will be the perfect big sister!
