10 things that would make my life sweeter

My sister-in-law Erin made a list of 10 things that would make her life sweeter for her 30th birthday. She tagged her readers to come up with their own lists even if it wasn’t their birthdays, so here goes mine.

In no particular order

I love to cook. Not that I am claiming to be a good cook, but cooking is something that I enjoy very much. I love cooking dinner for my hubby and kids, and enjoy cooking with my extended family any chance I get. Often when my family is getting together and I am in charge of a meal I borrow this from my mother-in-law. She is always so kind to let me borrow it but I am sure she would appreciate if I just got my own.

I have wanted one or two of these for quite a few years but have never broke down and bought them. Instead I store baked goodies in whatever odd shaped container they will fit in and sometimes several containers. It is one of those things that I would love but every time I pick them up at the store I think, “I better wait.”

One last thing in the kitchen department and then I promise to move on. Over the years with small children these have been disappearing. We are down to just a few of each. It would be a little less embarrassing when people come over if my drawer was stocked.

Speaking of my little kiddos. This was one of the favorite things we did last year. We have missed it soo much and would all love to have one again. I think it is definitely worth every penny.

When my birthday rolls around in April on the top of my list will be for my husband to transform my windows from boring to this. Although this picture is not exactly the way I want them you get the idea.

I have the perfect spot in my house picked out for this but they no longer make it. I can’t seem to find one used or even find one that looks a lot like it. I can’t even find another one that I like at all.

Since mine is getting snug and I don’t know what I was thinking getting one that was all fitted to by teenage body almost a decade ago. I would like a new one of these.

As for an item that is not going to happen because the one we have does the job and who cares anyway that it is 15 plus years old. I would love to have a brand new one of these if money was no issue.

Next year my babies will be going to kindergarten so I have been doing a lot of thinking about what I would like to do when all my kids are in school. This subject is all together very bittersweet for me. I am so sad that I am moving out of the baby stages but looking forward to being able to also do something for me. I have always wished that I had gone here and am excited to go in the next year or two. So I will add the tuition to my list.

And the last item on my list I would love for Jason to build me. I think this would look great in my upstairs hallway. It is the perfect spot for a kids computer a place for all the kid's books and coloring stuff.

So that’s my list. I do agree with Erin that if I never get any of these things I won't be any less happy. I couldn't really ask for anything more. I have a GREAT husband, Beautiful Happy Healthy kids, and am most blessed to know that I Am A Daughter of God. But sometimes it is fun to dream.
