My Favorite Things



I haven't ever done this before, but I've decided to link in with Melissa at 320 Sycamore for her Favorite Things party. Every year I read her list of Favorite Things and wonder if I could come up with a list of my favorites. Here goes:

My feet get so dry, especially in the winter. I love this foot cream from Bath and Body. It saves me from feeling like my heels are going to put a hole in my socks.



I love pumpkin! I love pumpkin ice cream, cookies,bread, waffles, pie, you name it and I love it! The last couple of years it has been harder to come by so I have learned to stock up on it during the fall so we don't have to be pumpkin deprived ever!
I love color! I recently painted my daughter's room and love how it turned out. We still have some more decorating to do, but it's much better than the boring wall color that was in there when we moved in! I also need to add here how much I love the people at Sherwin Williams. We moved into a new house in July. I was actually excited when I realized Sherwin Williams was only a couple of miles from our house. Those people are so helpful!

With six kids in our house, you can image that we have an occasional spill on the carpet. I love this carpet cleaner. All you do is spray, wait a few seconds, rub it in, and spills disappear. It's a true lifesaver!
These have to be my two favorite items I use in the kitchen. This spreader has made more peanut butter and jelly sandwiches than you can imagine and I cut apples everyday with this slicer for lunches. I don't even put either of them in the dishwasher unless it's almost full because I know I will need to use them again.
I love my Asics! I've been wearing this brand of running shoes for probably the past 6 or 7 years. I have to replace them every year - these ones are about due. You can't see it here, but the side is ripping out on one of them. I love running. It clears my mind to be able to exercise and think about life and then feel good after. It also helps me to feel less guilty when I eat all of my favorite things!
I won't be holding anymore of my own little babies anymore, but this is definitely one of my favorite times. I love being in the hospital and holding my little newborn babies. For those couple of days after I have had a baby, it almost feels like the rest of the world doesn't exist. I look a little drugged up here, but you get the idea. There is nothing sweeter than cuddling a newborn! Now I will just have to settle for snuggling other people's babies!

Hi Nancy! I'm stopping over from Melissa's party. I have 6 kids, too, and I love that world-melts-away feeling of a new little one. Maybe that's why we both have six kids, eh ;)? I also really love Sherwin Williams. They give service that the big box stores just don't. Hope you are having a great holiday season!

I am a pumpkin lover too! Love the picture with the baby. Those first few days are so sweet.

There isn't anything that compares to holding a newborn is there?? I love pumpkin too and anything that helps my dry cracking feet :) Merry Christmas!

HI Nancy! I like your post... it makes me think of many things I have and love that I don't value enough. I love holding babies too, I'd like to try pumpkin ice cream (never seen in Spain) and I love your daughter's room!

Happy new year to all of you!
