10 things I'm Thankful For

-
Yes, this post is probably going to get a little sappy. Be prepared. Number one thing I'm thankful for is my hubby and my marriage, which counts as one. He's a wonderful husband and daddy and I wouldn't trade him for anything! (Some days I swear I'd trade him for a dog, but those aren't very often!)
Second, I'm thankful for my children. They can be trying sometimes, but I love them to pieces and couldn't imagine life without them.
I am extremely thankful for my faith in God. I'm not a faithful church goer, but without my faith, I can tell you honestly, I would not be here today.
Our extended family. On both sides, we have a great family!
Our home. It's not huge, but we love it!
My animals. I don't think a home is really a home without pets. They bring a special kind of love to the family. (No, not including Icky Thing. I still don't like him)


Silly things that are my favorites, like chocolate, coffee and wine. These are not vital to life, but they sure do make it better!


Our freedom and the troops that fight for it. We found out a friend of ours' son is being deployed next month to Afghanistan and we are already praying for him and all the troops who are all around the world fighting to keep our country safe.
I am extremely thankful that we are all healthy. I thank God every morning that all my kids and my hubby are healthy and happy. It's a wonderful blessing.
You! I am thankful for each and every reader who keeps coming back to read my ramblings here on the Chaos! This blog has been getting bigger every day and I am having so much fun with it. Thank you so much!

DIY Body Wrap

OK, this started as another one of those "Pinterest Experiments" to see if it would really work, and it actually did! I had read on Pinterest that you can do a body wrap at home wayyyy cheaper than at spas. All you need is lotion, plastic wrap and whatever body part you want to lose about .5 in on. Seriously. I did it on my stomach, because after 3 children, I have the "pooch". I hate the "pooch". I figured that this wouldn't hurt, so while Hubby was in Washington, I tried it. All you do is put lotion on the body part you are working on. It's preferable to have a lotion with something from the sea in it, like seaweed, kelp, etc, but not absolutely necessary. Put A LOT on. I mean to where it's not soaking in anymore. Then you wrap the body part in plastic wrap. You can either secure it with an ace bandage or do what I did and just tape it. Since I did it around my belly, I just taped it to itself and it stayed in place. Then you go to bed. Whe...
