Favorite Things, June Edition

Garmin Forerunner 305 w/heart rate monitor
Of course I always loved my Garmin. However, now monitoring my heart rate allows me to be sure Baby V is not being stressed with my running. Luckily Chris had this model, so we switched it to my size and I use it religiously. Definitely a great addition to training and perfect way to monitor heart rate.
Husqvarna Viking Sewing Machine
Now, this is my second machine....so no particular brand bias as I use both. However, currently this one is out and easily accessible and I have been using her a lot. Between making hair bows for Baby V, some throw pillows and curtains for Baby V's room, the gold 'ole sewing machine came in very handy last month.
PINK
I would not say it is an obsession...but close ;) Lately we are buying (and receiving) a lot of PINK. These baby booties were spotted on an online retailers shop and I decided I must get them. However, refer to the next favorite to see how I plan to make them on my own!
Swarovski Flatback Crystals
For years I have been working on jeweling things....shirts, cell phone covers, frames, you name it...I've probably put sparkle on it! A friend told me about a rhinestone wholesaler she goes to in LA. Realizing I couldn't do take a trip to LA just for rhinestones....I found one online. Now that I started using Swarovski I may never go back to acrylic rhinestones. These babies SPARKLE!
Sony Headphones
Chris bought these for each of us last year for our Boston trip. We haven't used them a ton other than travel. However, lately they are the medium we use to pump music into my belly for Baby V. Most websites and research articles suggest a direct 'in' to the babies environment with the headphones nestled on your belly...so these are perfect for that!
Goldfish Crackers
Ok, obviously these do not fit the Paleo lifestyle....however that kinda went out the window in the first trimester as my tastes changed completely. I have been hooked on these now for weeks and have decided to try and wean myself. However, it was GREAT while it lasted :)
