The Alphabet Lives Under My Refrigerator

The alphabet magnets should live on the refrigerator...But no...

They live under it.

Caught in the act! She looked pretty guilty when she saw me.

(If you ever wondered what real-life mornings were like, well, let's just say she and I were both in our PJ's.)

Books don't fit under the refrigerator, so they stay clean and well-read.

I love how intense and expressive she gets while reading a book. The sounds and voice fluctuations she has are incredible!

Pre-nap, she'll lay down on the floor, just to be cute and silly.

I love how my mornings are spent, and I love my 14-month old sweetheart!

Favorite Things

I've been seeing these posts about Favorite Things cropping up in blogland. (Melissa at 320 Sycamore and Emily at Jones Design Company are my favorites.) To echo another blogger, the first thing that pops into my head when you'd ask what my favorite things are would be, "raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens...(something something something)...brown paper packages tied up with string; these are a few of my favorite things..."

Sorry. I got little lost singing in my head. Back to business:
Here is my own list of favorite things. If you make one, please let me know in your comments. I would love to hear what you love!

1. My family
The Best Husband Ever, The Darlingest Daughter Ever, and the Most Loved Baby Ever.

2. Hoop Earrings
These have become my dressing up staple. I feel almost glamorous wearing them. :) My sister didn't wear these, and was kind enough to give them to me.

3. Blistex Silk and Shine
I have an obsession with my lips. Weird, I know, but I always have this on or near me.

4. Cinnamon Sticks
Anything that smells of cinnamon. Spiced cider, cinnamon in candles, I really like the smell of cinnamon.

5. Candles
Speaking of cinnamon scents, it's almost time to pull out my very favorite candles and celebrate the chilly weather with warm smells.

6. Hobby Lobby
This should be self-explanatory. It's on an even favorites list with Target.

7. Eggnog
My favorite drink ever. I wish it was made year round. Perhaps I do appreciate it more because of its limited availability.

8. Lysol Kitchen Cleaner
My kitchen's best friend. Counters, under the cabinets, around the sink, the fronts of my appliances.

9. Netflix
This has been our biggest money saver, believe it or not. $9 a month, and we get as many movies as we like. Love it!

10. Swiffer
And last but not least, this is my top cleaner. My floors smell amazing. I love the lavender wet Swiffer wipes. Mops are SO yesterday!

On a side note, here is how my daughter plays. All the time, with everything wherever she can get it. It's recently been found out that alphabet magnets fit perfectly under our refrigerator. Yay! (groan)
