Things I Love Thursday

It has been too long since I have posted at all, much less a TILT post, so here goes...

Sleep:  I love sleep.  I know it is a not very productive way to spend one's time, but darnit I have always loved sleep.  As the mother of a 15-month-old one would think sleep is the most elusive of pursuits, but I'm blessed that she seems to like sleep almost as much as I do.  And since she sleeps with me, I barely need to wake up if she needs anything during the night.  I still don't sleep well, and haven't for a long time, which is probably one of the reasons I love it so much, but yesterday there were multiple naps after a late morning, and it was delightful.

Herbal tea:  I drink most beverages, but when I need comforting, I will reach for a cup of Organic Mother's Milk Tea or Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime Tea.  Either can make me feel immensily better almost immediately.  There is something so nurturing about the soothing herbs and light flavours, without the harshness of caffeine or sugar that just makes everything better.  Recently V and I had a terrible cold and I lived on tea while we were recovering.

I wish I had more to write today, but I'm tired and need to get a baby ready for the day.  More next time.
