mY fAvOrItE tHiNgS...

As promised, here are my current faves. I think I have lost all my readers though...anyone out there??? I have only myself to blame...uninteresting and infrequent posts attract no one. Please come back though, you have all been missed! I promise to be full of wit and post lots...pinky swear.

Movin on... all of these fabulous things are inspired by Spring of course!

1. DOUBLEMINT GUM...delish! My favorite gum of ALL time. My Grandma always had this gum in her purse while I was growing up...still does. Reminds me of her. She is the most generous, amazing, energetic, stylish little lady I have ever met...love her! This gum is fresh, minty and fabulous. However, my dentist doesn't agree. Therefore...

2. I CHEW EXTRA GUM INSTEAD! Sugar-free and still minty-fresh.
3. I am many moons behind the 'Aquaphor' trend, but alas...I am hooked! I don't know how, but this ointment starts out appearing greasy but rubs silky smooth on Krew's dry skin and doesn't absorb into his clothes. Ahhhhhhhhh...

4. CASCADIAN FARM 'ORGANIC' VANILLA CHIP GRANOLA BARS... These are amazing! Soft and chewy and soooo yummy. I know the Co-Op in Moscow, ID (for all my Moscow peeps!) has this brand and also any Fred Meyer. Seriously, pick these up...a perfect healthy snack, my kids LOVE them! (They have other flavors too).
5. SEBASTIAN SHAPER PLUS HAIRSPRAY... I am the fortunate benefactor of THREE Cosmetologists. Ba ha ha ha...my Sisters and SIL are great. Always picking up stuff for me at the Beauty Supply. I can't go without this stuff...not too sticky and just enough hold. Let me know if you would like my lovely discount too...$7.00 a bottle ain't too shabby :)
6. BIGGEST LOSER...Darn this show! Bawled my eyes out tonight. Debated on helping myself to a pretty good-sized bowl of Double Chocolate Brownie ice cream that was calling my name from the freezer. BUT I withstood temptation. Thank you Brett, Cara, Bob and Jillian.
7. AMERICAN IDOL...I wasn't sure about this season without Simon, however...I'm digging the new faces. Love Casey Abrams.

8. THE MIDDLE...Have you seen this show? Hilarious! Totally normal (somewhat) things happening to normal (somewhat) people. I would HATE to live it their house though. C-L-U-T-T-E-R!

9. Crap! Not the best (feeling afterwards) show, but another hilarious one. Can I just tell you how much I LOVE Gloria! Her accent kills me...so over-the-top but awesome.

10. KNIGHT AND DAY...I actually thought this show was pretty darn entertaining. I am skeptical when it comes to Mr. Tom Cruise...not my fave guy, but I really thought these two did a good job together.

11. JUST GO WITH IT...This show was so entertaining! Again, skeptical with these two...especially Jennifer Aniston (can't shake that she's not RACHEL anymore), but it was so funny. I LOL many times :) The little girl was the BEST, I hope she goes far...her English accent killed me!

12. www.eighteen25.blogspot.com This blog is darling. So many fun, creative ideas...especially this one. I MUST HAVE THESE! To help my parenting skills of course...leaving my kids daily love notes is a MUST if I want to be a good Mom...duh! The bank account will shrink, but our love will grow...it's a sacrifice I am willing to make. Ahem...

***You can buy these here *** You're welcome.

13. CLINIQUE LIP GLOSS...AIR KISS IS MY FAVORITE COLOR! I have loved makeup...ever since I was a little girl. It was kind of my Grandma and I's thing...school clothes shopping in SLC, always stopping at the MAC counter to get my fill (along with all the other makeup counters of course). My obsession passed on to Kennedy. The lady's at our local MAC (bless their hearts) know Kennedy by name. Now I know some of you are shaking your heads, but don't worry...we aren't extravagant, I swear! Oh and check this out! Kennedy and I went to Macy's tonight and stopped at the MAC counter because I happened to run out of almost everything at the same time. Dang, hate that. They gave her some brushes to use and let her do her thing...yes, she puts everything on by herself at this point. She is 7 1/2 after all. She was in heaven. I stopped at the Clinique counter to pick up my clothes they were holding and Kennedy grabbed a few cotton balls. I told her to put them back (she likes to hoard random things she thinks are useful!)...the Clinique lady (a darling 20-25 year-old) said, "hold on, I'll be right back" she came back with a cute makeup bag that she stuffed with three eye shadows, mascara, lip gloss, a mirror, lip stick and another cute little bag. Oh...and a HUGE handful of cotton balls! ba ha ha. Kennedy was ecstatic! She thanked her over and over and smiled all the way to the car. I was a little jealous...aren't YOU?!?! :)

14. CRYSTAL RAIN WINDEX... Have you had the opportunity to smell this?

15. MAC MINERALIZE FOUNDATION WITH SPF 15... I bought this stuff tonight and I love it! My skin is soft and not caked with makeup.

16. NETI POT... This thing has been a LIFESAVER in our home! Lots of colds and congestion this winter and this helped us fight through. Actually, I have a confession. I have never used it...just everyone in my family. I am scared! I don't know why, but I am. I can't bring myself to use it. I will power through one day though and let you know how it goes.

17. HEATH BAR... This one has NOT helped my weight loss one bit. I don't eat them often, but when I do...they are heaven in a bar.

18. POWER C GUMMY VITAMINS... We have been consuming copious amounts of these in our house. They taste great and are mounds better than those big 'ol chalky things. We buy ours at Costco.

19. LIME TWIST SALT CITY CANDLE... I know I've had this one in my previous FT posts, but I just love it to pieces. It is the epitome of Spring to me.

20. OLD NAVY RUFFLY PURSE... Isn't this darling? I love it because it's so simple yet so pretty!

21. VICTORIA'S SECRET AMBER ROMANCE BODY LOTION... I have used this scent since High School and I can't get enough. It's such a subtle smell but so invigorating. I will keep buying until they stop making.

22. BARNES AND NOBLE...My kids love to come here. They could read books for hours! Plus, Krew couldn't be happier with their Thomas the Train table setup. I like to relax and enjoy a book of my own. Its a win for everyone.
23. GLADE SPARKLE OF SPRING ROOM SPRAY... Spring in a can! A must have for houses that absorb smells from kids, husbands, poopy diapers, last night's dinner...you get my drift.

24. SUBWAY ART...I just picked THIS one up from Costco. All I did was upload it and printed an 8x10. I am going to frame and hang tomorrow. Simple and adorable...my kind of decoration.

25. SCATTERGORIES... This is our new family-favorite game to play together. Kaiden is a wiz and Kennedy is starting to get better...she has some pretty amusing answers. Krew just tries to hide the letter dice.

26. THIS BIG, DUMB PURPLE DINOSAUR...BARNEY. You're intolerable sometimes, that's for sure...but you provide entertainment for my rambunctious toddler. Bless you and that ANNOYING voice of yours.
