Good morning and happy Monday! I am *so very thankful* for your love, prayers and support during the last two weeks. It’s been hard. Grief stinks big time. It’s been harder for me than I anticipated.

I’m working on getting my blogging mojo back, so I thought I would share a few of my favorite things today. This could potentially be an ongoing theme sprinkled throughout what I share here. Yay!

I bought these Anthropologie latte bowls for myself for Christmas last year. I love them so much. I use them every day and they make me smile…big :)

On my quest for eating healthfully, I use herbs and spices liberally. These two are my go-to seasonings – Herbamare and Real Salt. I use them every day on meat and vegetables. They are delicious, nourishing, healthy seasonings. Yum!

Several months ago, I bought these Adidas cushioned socks from Academy. There’s actually a third pair with aqua accents, but it was in the laundry basket and I didn’t think you wanted to see a picture of dirty socks. Ha! I never dreamed the difference that these socks would make when I walk, run or bike. They are like magic energy on my feet. ;)

Our faithful Kitchen Aid blender {a wedding gift 7 years ago} died a few months ago. It was a sad day. We bought this Ninja Pulse system on sale at Kohl’s and it was love at first use. I use this machine every single day for smoothies or baby food. I also use the pitcher attachment for making homemade salsa. It is perfect.

You might think it’s a little funny, but these items are my go-to sanity aids. With the emotional roller coaster of the last few weeks, I have kept them very close by. ;) Rescue Remedy, Sublingual Bs {which are also great for morning sickness}, Joy and Valor Essential Oil Blends really help with stress, anxiety, grief etc.

Those are a few of my favorite things today! I would love to hear…do you use any of these items?

xoxo
