little happy things

Kool-Aid. It's pretty much amazing. I've never made it with as much sugar as it calls for so my kids don't know the difference and I usually put more water than is required also. Basically, when I make it for them, it's more like flavored water. Cruel? Maybe, but they love it. I have to admit, I'm a pretty big fan myself. :) I'm not a huge fan of "sweet" so it suits my purposes just fine.


Dry erase boards & markers. I'm a list making mama. If I can have a list to check things off of, I'm 1000% more productive. There's just something wonderful about dry erase. They're colorful and catch your attention. They are also more my style because plans can change SO fast around here. I need to be able to change the game plan without an act of congress... or white out.



Bibs with pockets at the bottom to catch dropped food. Really, what good is a bib if their lap is full of macaroni and cheese when they finish? They're easy to clean and cute to boot. The kids love them almost as much as I do.


Straws. I have sensitive teeth and tilting a glass to where the ice is pressed against my teeth while I get a drink is no fun. Straws are amazing. The bendy ones are even better.
