Just the Best

Have you ever had something that you just love so much that you can't live without it. Even being apart for a day makes you a little bit worried and crazy and you just crave it. It's been such a long time since I have truly felt like I needed something. I sometimes feel like I am just constantly taking care of my family and doing things for everyone else (not complaining here, I love doing it, I'm just saying). Sometimes I feel guilty when I crave something for myself and I know that I just can't live without it.

I am not talking about food here (although you know how much I really love food). I am talking about the 3 Musketeers. I feel like one of the 3 Musketters when I am with my two BFF's. They are the best. Always there for you as a sounding board, there to support you when you need it, there to laugh with, cry with, have fun with, go to lunch with, make a Target run with. That kind of friend.

I love it.

I crave it.

I need it.

I just hope I am there for them when they need me as much as they are for me.

Love the 3 Musketeers and I just can't seem to get enough of them these days

In Case you Didn't Know

I thought I might share a few totally random things about me just because I am sure you were wondering.

1. I hang out in my PJ’s most days.
2. I love to have people over, love nice dinners, love to go out.
3. I am a night owl and love to sleep in (although that never happens with two kids).
4. I love Italian food. . . anything creamy. . .nothing with marinara.
5. If ever I say something stupid, I worry about it for weeks if not months.
6. I worry about my younger brothers and sisters like a mom.
7. I always throw my clothes on the bedroom floor at night.
8. I have to sleep on the right hand side of the bed
9. I dread doing the laundry and put it off as long as possible.

17. I love cuddling up with my hubby and watching a movie.

There ya go. Me in a nutshell

Olay, Olay!

I came across this body wash by accident as I was walking by some clearance at my favorite store, Target. It was a 2-pack for $3. Cheap, right. So, I thought I could take a chance and upgrade the kiddos from the baby wash to something for "big kids" because they definitely are that. I just hate changing things like that because, what if you just hate it.

Well, I don't. I love it! It has been so good. I love the smell. Although the smell is really nothing like it, it reminds me of the shampoo from our trips to Bearlake with our grandparents. And the kids think it is so great to get the loofa (I'd like to point out, NOT the wood looking loofa) all foamy with bubbles.

But the best part has been that since using it, I haven't had to lotion The Girls eczyma legs ten times a day. It keeps them from getting so dry. Of course I also love the baby lotion smell and we are not about to upgrade that just yet.
