{Thankful Thursday favorite things and etc...}

I'm thankful for so much.. everything I use everyday, especially right now with the Haiti crisis I think we all feel a little spoiled for the things we have... because we are spoiled and we have no idea what it would be like without,
that being said some of my favorite things
I'm thankful for this week...

.... ever since I found out all the million things I am allergic too I've found some pretty awesome products sometimes I have to spend a little more money, but I'm finding its totally worth it.. this is one of them K2 gets the best of the best ..this is 98% natural and I love the smell, I love everything about it and its only $6.99 at target and I've only used two in six months so worth it good for baby...... good for me...

I love this jam from Costco blueberry & cherry on 12 grain toast it tastes so good!!

I love when these three munchkins are laughing and playing {and not fighting } my favorite time is when I'm cooking dinner I usually have had my done point for the day by then, so I tell them to get ready for bed, and play together sometimes they watch a movie, sometimes they slide down the stairs and laugh and laugh, then we all feel better and have a nice dinner together !! I'm so thankful for the break and the laughter I hope they always remember these fun times together!

I love this mini mama she loves to help with K2 and he loves it too {when the kids help feed him} he laughs, kicks, pulls their hair,{or he started grabbing her glasses uh oh here we go eh!!} or pinches them I'm thinking he's growing up..I'm also thinking its going by way to fast!!

okay i'm thankful for new recipes that taste so good. We tried this one the other night and its SO GOOD the kids had bowl after bowl of it. Next I'm trying the bread bowls with it! It tastes just like when you get it at the restaurant so many great food recipes on this site...

I'm loving the getting up early routine its working!!, showered, prayers said, scriptures read, music playing, breakfast cooking mornings!! They are going SO much better so much calmer and I know its all me..... Feeling ACCOMPLISHED before 7 am is an awesome feeling~!
My kids' favorite muffins are banana chocolate chip muffins they are so good don't you love having certain foods where your kids are so excited you made it that you feel like such a great mom... I have days like that.... they make me happy!

{i did bran muffins for me at the same time..}

Okay I love these little individual baby food containers they are awesome, with K2 its all natural foods... make my own and freeze I never did that with my other kids not sure why its not hard at all! K2 has had {rice cereal, barley, and oatmeal,} and peas, applesauce, potatoes, beans, carrots, peaches all from what we eat or have for dinner just extras pureed and put into containers its not hard at all. Not sure why I never did it with my other kids!
He loves his food and eats so much.... ....but I may need one of these soon for when he thinks its funny to spit that means done! But sometimes I'm not quick enough! Yuck! feeding and potty training are my least favorite duties!!

What state are you in.
