Daily Thanks Day 5

Today I am thankful for cuddle time, all 45 seconds of it.

My son is a very active two-year old boy.  He typically doesn’t sit down very long.  So when I get a chance to hold him I take it!

Daily Thanks Day 4

Today I am thankful for toaster waffles.

Toddlers, infants and dogs do not understand the concept of adding an hour to our day and sleep.  So everyone started to wake up at 6:30 on a Sunday!  I have not gone to the store yet, and didn’t have the ingredients for pancakes.  Luckily in our freezer were some toaster waffles for our toddler to have for breakfast while I wake up with a cup of coffee.

Daily Thanks Day 3

Today I am thankful for my Keurig Platinum Brewer.

I love my coffee, I always have.  Typically I brew a pot of coffee daily, which my husband and I consume in its entirety.  While pregnant I couldn’t drink coffee on a regular basis, and this pregnancy I really missed it.  I have really been enjoying my coffee since my son was born.

I have been a member of a website called House Party.  It is a company that helps promote products through the public.  They send you items to help you have a party to promote a specific product.  Recently I was picked to host a party to promote the Keurig Platinum Brewer.

They sent me a brewer and a variety of coffee and tea to sample with my guests.  The party was a success and my guests received rebates to purchase their own brewers.

I have since set up my brewer in my home and use it on a daily basis.  We have packed up our old coffee pot and put it in the attic.  I purchased a My K-Cup which allows me to brew coffee with a reusable system.

Last night my infant had some stomach problems and I didn’t get much sleep.  So this morning I was very thankful for the quick cup of fresh coffee I got from my Keurig brewer in about a minute.

I was in no way asked to write or compensated for this post by either Keurig or House Party.  The opinions are all my own.

Daily Thanks Day 2

Today I am thankful for nap time.

nap time is the best time

With a two and a half-year old and a six-week old baby there is not a lot of time in my day to sit down.  Nap time for my toddler allows me to relax on the couch, sometimes watching the shows I have recorded or sometimes closing my eyes.  Mostly nap time allows me alone time with my infant.  Time when I can relax and hold him without having to feed, change or burp him.

Today my toddler slept for about 2 and a half hours allowing me to watch a couple shows holding my baby.  I didn’t have any responsibility other than holding him, it was wonderful.
