So much to be thankful for!! #tommeemommee

So much to be thankful for…….

Thanksgiving 2014 just passed and we were blessed to spend the day with our family in St Paul, MN.  What did you do, I hope you were able to have a relaxing fun day with family and friends.  tommee tippee asked me to post about what exactly it is I am thankful for and at first I thought this post would be really easy to complete, but when it came down to picking just a few things I am thankful for it became more challenging 😉  I am blessed to have so much to be thankful for, so I will do my best to pick out a few to share with you.

Of course I am thankful for tommee tippee products in our lives.  Ever since we welcomed Gradie into our lives tommee tippee has been a staple in our daily lives.  From their line of Closer to Nature Bottles, and their 360° sealer™ Diaper Disposal System, to their limited edition product releases, most recently the Gingerbread Collection of bottles and pacifiers, they really have had a product we have used continuously since Gradie was born.
The product I am MOST THANKFUL for lately is the tommee tippee Explora Easi-Mat.  Why you ask?  The answer is simple, toddlers can be messy, extremely messy, they love throwing things, and if your little one is like Gradie, you know what it is like to have to clean up after them when they throw their bowl/plate on the floor.  That was until I received the Explora Easi-Mat, it honestly saved my sanity 😉

The easi-mat grips bowls and plates firmly where they should stay, on the high chair tray, no more flying plates or bowls, no more allowing the dog to eat all of Gradie’s food, and most importantly no more mess on the floor.  Let me tell you, at first Gradie was mad with her easi-mat, she tried with all her might to pull the bowl off of it, but she couldn’t get it off and after a while of trying she gave up and just ate her dinner, I call that a hugely successful product!!

Besides for extremely useful products that make our daily lives easier, I am also extremely thankful for the following;

Health – mine and my family’s health.  We might have some aches and pains along the way but I know that we are very blessed to be healthy, to be able to run around after Gradie, and for me to be able to skate either reffing or playing ice hockey games.  There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t thank my lucky stars for this.

Parents – We are blessed with two sets of amazing parents.  Jeanna and I could never ask for better grandparents for Gradie.  Of course that means we were lucky enough to be raised by absolutely amazing parents.  I will never be able to fully repay my mom and dad for what they’ve given me in my life.  I am thankful that I am able to call them my mom and dad.

My little Family – I am beyond blessed to be married to the love of my life, Jeanna and a mother to our beautiful little girl, Gradie.  Everything I have wanted in life is under the same roof I am every single morning when we wake up and at night before we go to sleep.  Below is a photo of our little family taken on Thanksgiving.
