Favorite Things (Part 1)

"Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things"

Here are a few of my favorite things from this year. I am listing them in no particular order:



Library- books, books, and more books. Shhhh. The quiet , the smell, the comfortable chairs, the kids section the books, books and more books..LOL. Yea, its weird and I know it, there is only one other person I know who likes books and libraries other than me (shout out to kish). I love to read , I mean I love the whole reading experience! Here are few pics of a couple of home libraries that I would love to have in my home.

Favorite Blog- The Pioneer Woman. Just take a look around this blog and you will soon see why i loove this blog. Netflix - ahhhh what a wonderful invention, I know this has been around for a long time but we have been overseas for a loooong time and didnt have access to this wonderful ammenity. PS3 finally has a purpose besides taking husband and sons hostage for hours at at time. Now I can watch old and new movies at the punch of a button. I have found my self vegged out on more than one occasion watching old 80s movies and hosting my own individual marathons with the names like , The Best of Molly Ringwald, Steel Magnolia Mondays..LOL...anyway , You get my drift...I heart Netflix!


Le Creuset Dutch Oven (Kiwi) - For as long as I have been able to cook, I have had a love affair with dishes. Pots, pans, plates, servers, you name it. I have sooo many dishes but next to my Pampered Chef Cookware this pot is on my "cant cook without" list. I have made wonderful soups, stews, neckbones, ox tails, LOL.. peas, beans, and even fried and smothered some chicken in it...oh..and I have even did a roast in it in the oven. This is such a versatile pot and I highly recommend you make this part of your kitchen collection.

Favorite Drama - For Colored Girls.I saw it twice and it was just as compelling. I didn’t know what to expect when going to see this movie, I had heard that it was a play but I had never read or saw anything about this until this movie came out. I loved it.

Favorite Comedy- Date Night...Hillarious!! This was sooooooo funny. I love both Steve Carell and Tina Fey. For all of us parents out there who look forward to date nights can certainly appreciate the spirit of this movie. The funny thing is , we went on a date night last week to Olive Garden and it was soooooo packed that we had to get a number and give the hostess our name so I said, "Tripplehorns" and she died laughing...LOL..so for the rest of the night we were known as the Tripplehorns.

What are a few of your favorite things????
