Here is my list of ten (material) things that I can't live without.
1. My iphone. I am addicted!
2. Coffee. Our Keurig makes it tasty and easy.
3. I love Trish McEvoy's mascara. I like how it looks and I like how it flakes off when I wash my face. Now I can't imagine using any other kind of mascara.
4. XM radio. My favorite station is The Message, chanel 32 (Contemporary Christian music) but Wesley's favorite station is channel 77, XM Pops. He loves classical music. I like being able to see the name of the artist and the title of the song.
5. My facial cleanser and lotion. I have had acne since I was 11 years old and this is the only thing that really keeps it under control. Hopefully it is also fighting off wrinkles.
6. Water. We have stopped buying bottled water! I used to take bottled water in the car with me, Chris and I both kept bottled water on our nightstands (the cats drink out of cups if we leave them out), and we used them for working out. Now we use re-usable water bottles! The kids even use these water bottles.
7. Reusuable shopping bags. These really help me cut down on the clutter of the plastic bags. I use the reusuable grocery bags at the grocery store. I really can't believe how much I love these things.My friend Michelle gave me two Envirosax for my birthday and I think they are one of the best gifts I have ever received. I keep them in my purse and use them every time I go to a store. They have a little strap with a snap to keep them securely rolled up in my purse.
8. TIVO. After 9 1/2 years, I can't imagine not having TIVO. There are four tv shows that Chris and I love to watch together. I also record stuff like What Not to Wear and John and Kate Plus 8 to watch while working out. We don't let the kids watch a lot of tv but when we do let them, their shows are on the TIVO waiting for them. We have recently started using the watch instantly feature on Netflicks for movies and workout videos.
9. My camera. I love the digital SLR that Chris gave me for Christmas. I also love my little point and shoot. I keep it in my purse so I never miss a photo opportunity (well, sometimes I can't get it out fast enough.) Without the cameras I wouldn't be able to blog about all the fun things the kids do.
10. Recipes. I love to cook but I have to have a recipe, especially at first. Last night one of my friends was telling me how she watches the food network and then makes the same dish but without the recipe. I can't wing it like that so I have to have written direction.

Hi! Happy FMM!
I enjoyed your list! Yes, I know I loved EVOO before I found that out. It's still okay to cook with just low temps...don't let it smoke! However the coconut oil (which doesn't taste like coconut) can be at a high temp...and doesn't do that! It is also a healthy fat.
Where did you buy your water bottle? Where did your friend buy those shopping bags. Two things I've been wanting to do!
I love recipes too. I'm like you...I want a recipe especially at first.
Have a great day!
We got the water bottles from LL Bean. I am not sure where my friend bought those bags but they are on Amazon (as are the bottles). I love how you get almost everything on Amazon. Maybe I should have put Amazon on my list!
Hey, Sweet Girl, I love your list. As often as we talk and as long as I have known you, I love that I'm always learning new things about you!!
You have a great list!
I have a lot of the same favorites! :) I love Trish make-up, especially her mascara! :) Coffee, TIVO, XM, and reusable bags are so good too! :)Thanks for sharing.
Hey there- you & I have the same coffee maker- I love my Keurig. Have had one for 2 years now. Unfortunately, I couldn't stand the smell of coffee in my first trimester, so it only gets used when we have company. :((
On another note, I enjoyed looking at your pictures from Disney World! How fun to go without kiddos!!
Have a great week.

Hi Renee! I'm so glad you joined in the FMM fun! What a great list -- you know I'm crazy about the Keurig and also can't imagine life without Trish McEvoy (though I use everything except the mascara -- I will definitely check it out next time I need to replenish). Love the envirosax -- what a great gift idea!
So fun to learn all about you! Have a great night!
Hello there! I love FMM, it's so fun to get to know other bloggers out there!
Great list, I have to use a recipe always, I am not the best of cooks! But wish I was!
Have a great night!

I am a big user of reusable bags too. Most of mine I picked up at various grocery stores around here but a few of them I had laying around the house already. I made some pretty cool ones for my parents for Christmas and I might eventually do that for me too.
We don't have Tivo but our DVR is a lifesaver around here.
Hi there! Great list! I love reusable grocery sacks too! I need one of those ones that folds up really small so I can carry it in my purse. What a great idea!
And great job on the water bottles!
XOXOX
