i've been tagged by my friend juliana. i am supposed to say 7 random things about myself:

1. i am in a supper swapping group. each week, 4 of my friends and i each make 4 meals (for 4 families), get together at the beginning of the week, swap the meals, then have 4 different meals (including the one i made). all of my cooking and grocery shopping is done for the week at the beginning of the week. with two little kiddos, this has been a lifesaver!

2. i would much rather have chewy candy over chocolate.

3. i love taking a nap on a dreary, rainy day (like i did today).

4. i have an obsession with shoes. currently they are piled on the closet floor in kate's room since we haven't finished the closet in our room.

5. tim and i love running with the girls in the double jogger. we see what we can do more of: actual running or fixing blankies, getting books, getting snacks, giving a water cup, taking the water cup away, stopping to look at the ducks, picking up the toy that fell on the ground, etc.

6. i love to bake and cook. this is something i didn't realize i enjoyed so much until i didn't have time to do it. every chance i get i do it, but those chances seem few and very far between.

7.i love the quiet that nap time brings. it's the only quiet in our house from 7am-8pm. it's when i get most things done- cleaning, blogging, cooking, phone calls, showering (i know it's gross, but it's the truth:). anyway, sometimes it seems too quiet, but most days it's a nice sound.
