Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens

These are a few of my favorite things...
Sometimes it's the little things that can "make" our day, dontcha think? I'm not talking about the big, obvious things like family, marriage, children, love, etc. I'm talking material, even silly things that can seem superficial and meaningless to others -- but just make us smile. Each of us has that certain list of favorite things that is unique and personal to just you. I've decided to share my, Jaime's, and Abby's personal lists. They are each very different, and reflect just the current favorite things of the day; they are not all-encompassing of our lifetime of favorite things and they are not in any particular order. Take a look and smile with us:

And now the question is, will you please share a few of YOUR favorite things? We'd love to know!
I LOVED this blog post!
ReplyDeleteOdd that Dustin and Jaime have some shared faves: BBQ chips, ESPN, Grandma Kay's pie, pictures of Abby :)
Have you read everything by Jane Green? If not, commence immediately!
By "everything", I mean every book she's every written!
ReplyDeleteKelly, I've not read Jane Green at all! And now I'm excited to start! Thanks for the tip =)
ReplyDeleteJeanne, this blog is so neat! I love your writing style and enjoyed reading this post very much. I agree with you on #s 6,7,9, and 19 =), and I add Mint and Chip Ice cream, birthdays (mine or anyone else's), the smell of the ocean, and listening to Mike's voicemails.
