My Favorite Things....

Join Melissa @ 320 Sycamore for her My Favorite Things party. Here are my favorite things:
David Cook. The CD. Still lovin' it. Listen to it a lot. It's good. Very good.


Philosophy Lip Gloss. I have the melon daiquiri flavor and love it. It's shiny AND stays on. Tastes good, too. About $12.


Electric Pepper Mill. How did I live without this? Really. You can find one like this at Crate & Barrel for about $40 or so.



Peets Coffee. I talk about Starbucks a lot because we don't have a Peets here. It's really the best in my opinion. Luckily you can find it in the grocery store for about $14/lb -or less when it's on sale. You know that's when I buy it! :)



Measuring cups. I have these from Williams-Sonoma. I love them. I think it's my favorite thing in my kitchen. At least one of them. And one I use almost daily. It took a while for me to break down and buy them but I have to admit that it's the best $30 I have ever spent. When Little Miss moves us out of this house at a very old age I am sure those measuring cups will still be around.

Caldrea Basil Sage hand lotion & hand soap. Great smell. Not too strong but nice. And I love the little caddy it comes in.
Now, if I were Oprah I would say that everyone in the audience would get one of these products. But I'm not Oprah. Sorry...

Lip gloss and mascara seem to be among favorites here today, sugar! I forgot to mention mine but it's right up there with favorite things. Hah...

Nice to meet you, sweet chick.

Getting so many great Christmas gift ideas today :-) Not sure if some of the things I've seen are available in Canada but the melon daiquiri lip gloss looks like a wonderful stocking stuffer.

I was just in Williams-Sonoma last week and was thinking of buying something but didn't, sweetpea. Now, I wish I had studied those a little measuring cups a little longer. What makes them so special? I truly would love to know.

There are lots of coffee drinkers at this party. ;-) Love it, too. And I'm hearing a lot about lip gloss. I'm going to have to pick some Philosphy up; many of you love it.

Great list. I love the hand soap and lotion set. The coffee sounds great, too. I need some new measuring cups and spoons for sure.

Monday, Monday...

Image
Monday's are usually my favorite days. Everyone is back to work and school and I have the morning to gather my thoughts and eat a leisurely breakfast before starting my day. My friend, E, who I carpool with has her husband take the kids to school since he is off on Mondays. Today, however, has been a bit odd. We had a new dishwasher delivered this morning and my husband uninstalled the old one last night. This morning I wake up to a leak in one of the dishwasher hoses - thankfully just a slow leak but still an inconvenience. My husband had to come home and semi-install the new dishwasher to stop the leak. I have been washing the dishes in the wet bar sink instead of the kitchen sink since something is turned off there and the hubby said not to use it until the new dishwasher is totally installed. I am thankful to have a wet bar sink and not have to resort to washing the dishes in the bathroom - something I am sure we've all had to do at one time. I have some things in t...

31 Days of Home Organization -Organized vs. Clean

Image
organized Arranged in a systematic way, esp. on a large scale. Having one's affairs in order so as to deal with them efficiently. clean Free from dirt, marks, or stains. Although there is some overlap, being organized and being clean are not the same.  Your home can be clean but not organized and vice versa.  Which is most important? It can be argued that they are equally important but it's probably more of a case of personal opinion.  I am in the clean is more important camp.  No matter how much is sitting on my island (one of my hot spots), my kitchen sink and counters are clean.  My bathrooms are cleaned weekly, as are my floors.  But my junk drawer may be filled with a little more than usual. Of course, if your home is too disorganized it is likely impossible for your home to be clean (we've all seen one too many episodes of 'Hoarders' to know this is true). If you have missed any of my 31 Days series you can find ...

Lunch Box Granola...

Image
LM's teacher gave her class an extra credit assignment for math last week.  It was a cooking assignment which helps the kids with fractions.  They had two recipe choices and she picked the lunch box granola.   I have been wanting to make granola for a while so I was happy she chose this one.   She made a list of everything I would need to buy and I headed to the store while she was at school on Friday.   $16 later , I had the missing ingredients.  I was a bit shocked that some of these items cost so much.  I felt like we just bought a grade! All the ingredients ready to go. Recipe Fresh out of the oven. The finished product. LM did everything herself except put the cookie sheet in the oven and take it out. She emailed a picture of it to the teacher and turned in a paragraph about it on Monday.  It turned out delicious and I know I'll be making it again, using up the ingredients I bought.  I don't think I'll ever buy granola again ...
