This week's Ventage Tuesday topic is brought to you by Angie! Five things daily MUST-HAVES! I'm sure there are more than just five, but here are some that pop into my mind...
1. My iPhone. I'm a little embarrassed to admit how much I "need" my iPhone. I think when I forget it at home I get the cold shakes and start worrying about my future! ;) But really, it keeps me connected to everything - probably TOO much. Email, Instagram, Feedly. How did I ever manage without it?! ;)
2. My Converse sneakers. If you have ever met me, you know that I wear Converse sneakers about 97.85 percent of the time. My old standbys are some nasty gray laceless ones that I wear almost every day. But I also have a plaid pair, a plum pair, a seafoam pair, and most recently a brand spankin' new gray pair with laces sent to my by my awesome sneaker sister Mandy!
3. Caffeine. I am not a coffee drinker, but it has become very apparent to me that I need some kind of caffeine on a daily basis. It's usually in the form of chai tea or my long-time vice Dr. Pepper (yes, I am a disgrace to greenie moms everywhere). ;) I know, I know...pregnant ladies are supposed to cut back on the caffeine, and I definitely only drink what is the "acceptable" range - but I will never be one of those pregnant people who gives up caffeine completely!
4. A phone call with mom. My mom lives seven hours away from me, and I don't get to see her very often, but inevitably EVERY time I'm in the car I call her. Even if we can only talk for five minutes, it's worth it. Sometimes I feel bad because I call and vent or whine or complain for the entire time and she can barely get a word in edgewise...but she always does what a mom is supposed to...she supports me and make me feel better. :)
5. Snuggles. I feel like this one is obvious - but I can't make it through the day without them. Even on the days where I want to pull my hair out and lock myself in the bathroom my mood is instantly turned around by hugs and kisses and little voices telling me they love me. My kids are far from perfect, but at the end of the day, I'm the luckiest mom in the world. :)
So how about you? What are five things you need every day?? Be sure to check out my other Ventage girls: Angie, Barb, Katrina, and Stephanie to find out what they need to get throughout the day! I promise I'll be back soon with some scrappy stuff, I know that most people coming to my scrapbooking probably couldn't care less about these things, ha! This is my slow time of the month, but I'll be back soon in full force! Happy Tuesday! :)
