5 Things I Couldn't Live Without in January

I know, I know. It's been waaay too long since my last post. Miss Maggie is 10 months old (when did THAT happen?) now and the last time I posted, I was had modified a pair of baby sunglasses for our trip to Kelowna...in AUGUST!  Sorry.

The inspiration for this post is a recent post from GnomeAngel.  Read her post here.

So, here are the 5 things I couldn't live without this past January.

1.  Black leather mitts
It has been cold this month. I mean, it's January in Ontario, of course it is cold. Without a doubt, my black leather mitts have helped me keep warm.  Nice soft leather on the outside, toasty polar fleece on the inside. Quick to warm up my fingers, even if I left them in the car overnight.

2.  Bath time
My little one LOVES the bath. Without fail, putting Maggie into a nice warm tub of water brings out her smiles and giggles. Splashing and chasing toys around the tub are common sights. This time of day makes me thankful that I am a mum.
Bath time! Happy baby!

3. Calendar app
I have been leaning on this app all month. I am not able to remember events in the same way as when I was younger. Pile on pregnancy brain, followed by baby brain  (these are real afflictions, people!) and I will not be anywhere unless it is in my calendar.

4. My photographer
Who knew that one day I would be able to say that I have a preferred photographer? I am so glad that I found Photography & Design by Jennifer Hall. She takes fantastic photos. Below are a sample of the pics I have from my maternity, newborn and 6 month photo shoots. We just did a Valentine's Day mini shoot, as well. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!

5. Nap time
This one is a no brainer! Maggie has been teething so there are days when she is whiney and clingy and I can't get anything done. On one hand, I try to treasure these times because soon enough she won't want anything to do with me. But, on the other, nap time gives me a well deserved break.

I'm hoping that this is the start of a blogging renewal. Thanks for the inspiration, GnomeAngel!

More to come,
