Some of My Favorite Things
I just finished Grateful: The Subversive Practice of Giving Thanks it is a great book to read if you are having trouble being grateful. I found these adorable little books that make fantastic gratitude journals or stocking stuffers to use for anything from grocery lists to assignment notebooks.
This is one of my favorite ways to “read books”. There are so many books I want to read and just not enough time to read them all.
Some of my favorite discoveries from other single moms
Fire Pit
My kids had so much fun roasting marshmallows and hot dogs over fires in the backyard. This is perfect if you don’t have a place to dig your own fire pit.
Matching Family PJs
We still do this even now that the kids are married. Well, we didn’t do matching PJs when they were teens that only started the first time a girlfriend joined us for Christmas and she loved it so much that for the last few years I’ve gotten coordinating PJs. Oh, the girlfriend was upgraded to wife almost 2 years ago and she still loves to get matching PJs. Besides they make the cutest pictures.
Espresso Maker
This initially seemed like a huge splurge to me. If you like to buy coffee by the cup from a coffee shop you can pay for this in less than a month even if you buy coffee a few times a week.
Apple AirPods with Wireless Charging Case (Latest Model)
I got a similar foot massager. I wouldn’t have thought of it until I saw someone in the community order one. It is a great way to give myself a little pampering.
