My Favorite Things

I have been tagged to do a "my favorite things post" like Oprah. So, here is a few of the things that I consider "My Favorite!"


1. Every morning when I shower I have 2 things that get me started in my day. If you have thick hair then Frederick Fekkai hair products are great. I prefer the olive oil glossing line. It leaves my hair soft and shiny. While I let the conditioner sit in my hair then washing off with Philosophy wash/shampoo/conditioner is a must. They have great scents and are great for travel because they are everything you need in one bottle! My favorite scents seem to be the one's centered around food (cinnamon buns, strawberry milkshake, etc.), bet that suprised you, huh?

2. Once that shower is finished, many of you know that I have a love affair with my CHI flat iron! It has saved me from many a bad hair day. I look back at pics of life before the flat iron and am thankful everyday that this product is mine!

3. I love Ann Taylor LOFT. I like how their clothes are trendy, but more for people my age. They are also my favorite because their clothes tend to run big on me... any place that I can wear a size smaller is always going to top my list!!

4. I know that this is absolutely the dumbest thing, but I really do love my minivan (shoot me now!) I never would have guessed that I would ever be a mini van momma, but it does make life with kids much easier. Now, it definitely isn't my dream car, but it is my practical car!

5. Since I am talking about the car, I have told ya'll about "mandy", my new best friend!! She is my GPS guide and saved my marriage during our trip. Love this!!!

6. One more thing, I need to thank the man who came up with portable DVD players and SONY for their awesome headphones. ANOTHER MUST WITH KIDDOS!

7. I have been asked by Len at times to end my love affair with Target. It is an addiction that I just can't break.

8. I really enjoy reading. A great time for me is to go to Barnes and Noble and look around. Ever notice how peaceful and relaxing it is in there? I love light and easy books to read and currently like Jennifer Weiner books. I recommend her if you enjoy girly books. Another great author is Emily Giffin.

9. While I am out, I must tell you that a really great place to eat is The Puffy Muffin. They have great salads and tortilla soup.

10. Old Navy pajama pants are my uniform when I am at home. I could never be a stay-at-home mom because I don't think that I would EVER have any reason to get dressed in anything other that comfy pajamas!! I have been known to take the kids to school in them on my days off, which Mason hates. I hear this "Mommmm, just get your real clothes on...plllleeeaase."

11. Yankee Candles. My favorite scent is clean cotton because it makes my house smell like a spring day and a clean house (ha ha). Around Fall, I love Harvest (think pumpkin pie baking in your oven!)

12. My jacuzzi bathtub, bath beads, and a great candle....enough said!

13. Miraclesuit swimwear! This is embarrassing, but if you have children you know that things are always as firm as they should be AND if you have big boobs then you really know how hard finding cute swimsuits is. I love anything the sucks me in and love that according to their motto whenever I slip into my slimsuit I "instantly look 10 pounds thinner in 10 seconds!" Anything that can do that is worth my $$$. Along that same line is my favorite slimming secret for under my clothes...SPANX. So now you all know my secrets!

14. I am running out of my favorite things. I have to include my family. I love my hubby and think he is sexy when he is dressed up for church and work.(something about business attire gets me!) I have my favorite boy and girl and dog and that is all I really need.

So, Tag You"re It!!!!
