My favorite things!

One of my very favorite bloggers, Melissa is having a favorite things party. I got a ton of ideas at last year's party, so this year I thought I'd join in on the fun!




I have super sensitive lips (read: I haven't been able to wear lipstick in about 5 years) and have the original ChapStick in the diaper bag at all times. I've tried everything else out there and this works best for me.


This goodness runs through my veins. Sweet nectar of heaven.



My face has the same texture as sand paper when I get out of the shower. Slather some of this stuff on, and I'm slick as snot. 




Best Christmas album ever. Period. We used to listen to this growing up while we decorated the house for Christmas. A few Christmas' ago, I decided to buy my sisters and my parents the cd (we had the cassette tape and nobody could find it). I looked all. over. the internet for it, but apparently they re-released the cd with a couple of the original songs missing and added a new one. I ended up ordering the original cd's from somewhere in England and paid around $25 for each one. Crazy, yes, but completely and totally worth it to have my children and nieces and nephew grow up listening to "I Believe in Santa Clause".



Sarah at Memories on Clover Lane. Such a practical, funny, smart blog. She makes me be a better mom. I want to be best friends with her. This is one of my favorite posts of hers.



Naptime. What mother doesn't love it?



Unfortunately for me, it's over. :)

What a great list! And I have to say that CD is the best! We listened to it growing up and singing our hearts out. We still play it every year while making cookies! :) Great memories!

Based on your list, we could possibly be long lost sisters. I also love chapstick, diet dr, sarah at cloverlane, cetaphil and naptime! Never checked out that odd looking CD, but since you have such good taste in other things - I might just have to go for it. :) Have a great weekend!

Definitely checking out Clover Lane. And love the naptime pic of your daughter. I have so many of these of my own kiddos. They just seem so angelic and innocent while sleeping.

BTW.. I get the Rosebud Salve at drugstore.com or bath & body works

Stop it now... you did not say slick as snot. Let me pull myself together... okay.

Kenny & Dolly, we listened to this also and watched their TV special. Kills me, at the time I thought my parents were hillbillies, the only people on earth that would buy this record! Too funny... thanks for the nostalgia!

Melissa said...

LOL at sweet nectar of heaven! I love Sarah too, and love your precious girl asleep so sweetly. Thanks for partying with us!

Kenny And Dolly!!! My sisters and I used to race home from the bus after school in December to put on this cd and "trim the tree and wrap the presents, turn the christmas music on!"

Love it!
