As a part of taking care of myself this year I have been more aware of simple things I like. I have always known I liked some of them but there are a few that I have discovered. Here is a list of things I like:
Pizza, I LOVE pizza. The problem is... I cant stop eating it. We dont get pizza very often because I have no self control when it comes to pizza. I think my favorite pizza would be a tie between the Roasted Garlic Chicken Pizza from CPK or the Margarita Pizza from Bucca Di Bepo. Yum!!!
Peanut Butter, Who doesnt love peanut butter? And paired with chocolate it is hard to resist. When I was younger I used to eat oreos with peanut butter! My alternative now (because I cant just eat what I want these days) is Quaker dipped granola bars, peanut butter (only 130 calories)
Water, I used to drink water and lemonade all the time. I havent ever been a big soda drinker but lemonade was the go to drink. But my second pregnancy changed my tastebuds and lemonade is too sweet now. But crave water and I love drinking water.
Sleeping, I took a nap in the middle of the day a couple weeks ago, and it felt soooo good! It has been a long long time since I took a nap in the middle of the day. As a kid bedtime is horrible but as an adult I think we look forward to it all day.
Jogging, this is a recent discovery. Growing up playing softball I did alot of running but I never liked it. Recently I started jogging to loose weight and have found that I look forward to it everyday! I get the runners high.
Family, I am glad I get to see and be around my family everyday. I enjoy hanging out with them and we are blessed to have extended family close by as well. What would we do without them?
Music, I have never been a big music person. I enjoy listening to it but I am one of those people that doesnt really hear the words (I make up my own) but likes listening to the music part of the song. It wasnt until recently that I really started listening to the words and I have been uplifted by a few songs. some of my favorite songs right now are 'If I die Young' (The Band Perry), 'Colder Weather' (Zac Brown band), 'Mama's song' (Carrie Underwood) and my favorite this week is the new Rascall Flatts song 'I wont let go'. I heard this song for the first time the other day while getting ready and it reminded me of Christ. It is a great song and everyone should listen to it. Click here to watch it on youtube and let me know what you think!
I just got really tired and my brain shut down so thats all for today but these are a few of my favorite things. Let me know what your favorite things are.

Ilove all of these things, too (except pizza). Especially peanut butter. Delicious! Happy I got to see you last week. Mallory is in heaven wearing her new stuff. I may need to buy another cape from you. Mallory's cousin Ayana is in love with the one Mallory has been wearing. I will call.....
