Mama B and Lil B's favorites things

The past few months I have come to realize some of our favorite things around here and figured I'd share. Just in case any of you were wondering. =)  

First up Lil B's favorites. The B Ball from Rhino Toys. It bends and is flexible, he gnaws at it all day. It was the first thing he could actually hold in his grasp and he seems to favor it over all of his toys.

Next up Aquaphor
 
This stuff is amazing. Lil B used to get very dry cheeks because he is so fair and it's a dry winter. I put this on it one day and poof they were healed almost immediately. It's great for when he some how scratches his face. Which, I have no idea how, since his nails are constantly cut and filed? So weird ! But this clears up and scratch with in an hour.
 
 

Then we have our Motorola 3.5 video monitor with two cameras. We haven't used the second camera yet, but I think it will come in handy when he gets older and starts to play in his room. So many great features, like zoom, pan around to different spots of crib and music ! Lil B love to fall asleep to music. It's awesome !

 
Now for Mama B's favorites. Since Lil B is still, well little, there are some nights we get 8-9 hours straight aof him sleeping and then sometimes we get some breaks in between for feedings. So coffee is one of my best friends. My favorites are Folgers Vanilla Biscotti and Eight O Clock Original. Love them and my Kuerig !

And since a girl needs to look pretty, best place to start is her hands. I love Sally Hansen Hard as Nails nail hardener. Not only does it make them grow, but they are strong and my tips are super white.

And of course being a mama, my hands are always doing something. Be it washing, laundry, changing, bathing or working, it's hard to have an actual nail color on. But my go to polish is Allure by Essie. It's a nude color that works with everything and makes my nails look amazing ! And you can hardly tell when it chips !

Some plans come undone...

This seems to be the theme of our lives lately but it also fit in to the semi decorating reno I wanted to do in our downstairs bathroom/laundry room. And see that was the question, is it a bathroom or is it a laundry room or heck, is it both? I decided to embrace it and decorate around it being a laundry room. I planned on painting the walls gray and one day I will get around to it. But for now I just used the decorations I had come up with to change it up a bit. Here is the before. And the after... We removed the verticals and hung a valance that we had, we had changed the light fixture months ago to make it flow better with the one above the sink. We also changed the hardware on all the cabinets to silver instead of bronze. We also added a shelf to go above the washer and dryer. This way all the soap, fabric softener and bounce sheets had a new home. I then added decorations that went with the theme of a laundry room. Believe it or not this old washboard was in our shed. Looks like ...

Tea bag magic

Don't mind this super old picture of our home. This was when we first moved in but I needed to show the coloring of the chair when it was first purchased. We bought this chair from Ikea when we first purchased our home. It was just okay to me but it fit where I wanted so I worked with it for a while. I played around with different pillows and blankets for the chair but nothing ever really felt right. Until recently, when I decided to take off the bottom cushion cover and dye it with tea bags. I have done the application twice and I think I have finally gotten it to the desired coloring. Take a look. Original 1st application 2nd application Another view So maybe now it will feel a bit better in the room. Not sure if I will go for a third application or change up the New York pillow.

Family

I began to write a posting on July 17, before we knew what God had planned for our sweet Kim.... Kim was taken home that evening to heaven. My entire family is in shock. As I am writing this, tears are running down my face.... Please sweet Jesus watch over Kim, she is safe now with you and is in no pain. Please watch over our family, heal our hearts as we keep Kim alive within ourselves.: "I don't have a very large extended family. Some may think it is, but in reality, it's truly not. I have a few aunts, a few uncles and a few cousins. Most live in different states and many times, communication is sparse. But we are all bonded, in an unspoken way. When one of us is in need, we all speak up and rally. My cousin Kim lives in North Carolina. I have not seen her in "real life" in many years. Maybe the last time was my wedding ? ! But we keep up on each others lives via Facebook. When she recently visited my mom, I was able to see her via Facetime.... Love techno...
