The following is my list:
5. This book has made training my kids a whole lot easier. Well, in a sense easier. Maybe I should just say it has made it very clear what I am supposed to do. At first it was a little offensive by the comparisons of kids to a mule, but after the author made their point I relaxed and read the rest of the book. Also, this couple has successfully raised five children who now have their own children, which gives it more credibility.
4. I have already mentioned the vitamins. They are still great, and now Andrew takes the kids version, SuperKids.
3. I am currently out of this item, but I love it! My sister Sarah gave it to me for my birthday earlier this year. It is an herbal bath sachet from the UK. Makes taking a bath feel like being on a muscle relaxer and it makes my skin look great. Sometimes I can find it on ebay, but I would really like to go to England and pick up a case.
2. Anothe
r book, and both on my list were recommended by my friend Rosemary. I can't say enough about it because it has helped me understand men a lot more. Really. And understand how women interact with men. I will try not to go into great detail, but it is the most practical and biblically sound marriage book I have ever read. Gary Chapman's "The 5 Love Languages" used to be my favorite marriage book, but this one has taken its place.1. My new favorite thing! My insightful husband thought we might need some help with the kids on our 55+ hour road trip over the next co
uple ofweeks. He ordered this and a few DVDs to go with it. We tested it out on a trip to the grocery store and the kids looked like we had given them a mind-altering drug. I was against putting TV in the car for them to be absorbed with, but I think I have changed my mind. Maybe absorbed is not a bad thing.
I highly recommend my list as these things have helped me immensely in the last couple of years, or will help me. I enjoy reading or hearing what has helped others as well. Feel free to share your list of favorite things!

2. Good thinking with the dvd player. I wish SB was old enough to be absorbed by TV like that.

O'Griffin,
We are very pumped about our trip, but I think some of us are in denial about cleaning out and packing the car before we leave tomorrow at 6 am. (: Wish you guys were going to be there!
