I struggled with this.
Do I share the best 8 doughnuts? They all are.
My favorite 8 pastimes/hobbies? Ummm, I have a 7 year old I don't have pastimes or hobbies.
Eight authors I love to read? Just too many to try to list and it made my eye twitch trying to narrow down the list.
Or maybe 8 things that I refuse to gain the bandwagon on??? I don't watch Game of Thrones. Have never seen one episode.
It stressed me. I had to pause...I researched things...Like little known facts...by the way the dwarf shark is the smallest shark at 8 inches.
Traditional gifts for 8th anniversary - not a lot to blog about on bronze or pottery - just saying.
See the struggle is real!!
Then I decide you know what makes a relationship strong? Sharing the everyday things. And we - the bloggers and the readers - are in a relationship. So here are 8 random things from the last forty-eight hours of my life.
1. Day #4 of temp over 100 with fever reducer. Super sore throat ... dr said he had pus dripping from his tonsils (yup gross) and his ears are inflamed... this has been his normal pose for the last 48 hours...do we know how to have fun or what???

2. We just returned from an overnight adventure into Daniel Boone's habitat - a cabin with large gaps between the wood, no electric, no heat, and no running water (which is probably why #1 is happening).
3. My son gave me an air fryer for Mother's day and I have made these amazing things in it :-)
