thursday 13 {link-up party}

13 things you are thankful for.

1. my husband who puts up with me unconditionally and knows when i’ve had a rough day and sends me straight out of the house to have “me” time. even though this time is usually involves grocery shopping i am not a stress case while doing so. 
2. my two adorable and healthy children. it’s funny how a few years ago i said i never wanted children and now two kids later i cannot believe that statement ever came out of my mouth. 
3. spring weather. i love how fresh everything is. i dread the summer months, but hopefully we won’t have to be in a house without a/c and then my thoughts on summer might change. 
4. my mom. i know she has to be sick of me calling her a bazillion times a day. this goes for my dad and sister too. 
5. cadbury eggs. i have all our easter candy hidden up above in brayden’s room. but today i am going to target to buy more mini cadbury eggs to make creme brulee. did you know that the center of a cadbury egg is fondant? i just learned that. 
6. for my friends and the support they given us over the past nine months. 
7. for butter. could you imagine life without it? well, maybe you can, i cannot. 
8. trader joes frozen oatmeal, paired with a teaspoon of brown sugar, toasted almonds and dried maine blueberries. it makes my mornings that much better. 
9. upholestry cleaner. it makes cleaning a leaky diaper accident off my couch so much easier. 
10. the internet. i think this is self-explanatory. 
11. life lessons that my parents instilled in my sister and i growing up. i am also thankful for my old soul. 
12. my grandma visiting me in a dream this morning. i heard her voice calling me and then woke-up. 
13. starbucks double shots with nonfat milk & chick fil a unsweetened iced tea. my day thanks you.
