These are a Few of My Favorite Things....

Girly Stuff wanted to know all of her friends' favorite things. You know, favorite products, favorite stuff, or the little things that just make life worth living. Here is my list.


1.) Arm and Hammer Sensitive Laundry detergent-Free of Perfumes and Dyes-My youngest had a bad case of eczema when he was a baby and still has very senstive skin. Also, I hate perfumes and floral scents. I love this detergent because it has no smell but gets the clothes clean.


2.) author Lisa Jewell-Her books are the best chick-lit around. I have never read one where I can stand to put the book down from the half-way point on.


3.) Phineas and Ferb-My boys and I LOVE this cartoon. We are constantly asking each other, "Whatcha doin'?" and reciting other favorite quotes. The soundtrack comes out Sept. 22nd and I can't wait to add it to my iPod.


4.) http://www.mommyjewelry.com/- I bought myself a silhouette charm necklace from this site for Mother's Day one year, and I get tons of compliments on it. It's so cute yet so simple.



5.) iPod Shuffle-Whoever thought back when we would lug our casssette walkmans or portable C.D. players to the gym, that there would ever be such a small, convenient way to listen to tunes while you work out? I love mine.


6.) Chick-fil-A lemonade-Best. Lemonade. Ever. I don't drink coffee, so while others are stoppimg at Starbucks in the morning, I'm at Chick-fil-A getting a large lemonade. And on the weekends when the boys are with their grandparents, I've been known to bring a spiked version along to get-togethers.


7.) The Big Bang Theory-I haven't really been into sit-coms since Friends ended, but I really like this show. I've always been into "nerds" (ask Crush), and I totally dig this world of hanging out, eating take-out, and talking Star Wars. Jim Parsons totally deserves an Emmy.


8.) 200 Cigarettes-I absolutely love this movie. It's partially the 80's nostalgia. And it's partially the fun soundtrack. And the cast is great (Kate Hudson, the Affleck brothers, Christina Ricci, Courtney Love, Paul Rudd, etc.). But it's the fun New Year's Eve party storyline that has me watching this one again and again.


9.) Crave cupcake shop-It's in Uptown Park, and trust me, it's worth the drive. They have some flavors daily (vanilla, chocolate, strawberry), and different special flavors each day (Pumpkin, Banana, etc.) Their white-chocolate macadamia nut cupcakes are to die for!!


10.) Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center-O.K. Shameless plug, but I really do believe in my work's mission. If you are able, please give the gift of life.

  1. So I think you have the best list ever! I will have to watch said movies and shows. And now that I know the secret of the lemonade, everything is falling into place!

    I will also be visiting the cupcake place.

  2. Absolutely agree...great list!! How did I miss Big Bang Theory until now?

    Let's work the cup cake place into our next book club meeting. (I'm too lame to make it to Uptown park without a reason.)
