A Few Favorites

In addition to the obvious things like Christmas lights, Christmas music, Christmas decorations, and Christmas movies, these are a few of my favorite things right now (some would make excellent Christmas gifts!) ...

"I Will Hold You 'Til You Sleep" by Linda Zuckerman

Some of my mom's friends gave me this book when Sara was born, and I recently had the pleasure of giving a copy to a friend.  The story and the illustrations are beautiful, and I get the cry-ball every time I read it.

the holiday Starbucks cup

It's shallow, but this cup just makes me smile when I'm needing a morning pick-me-up with an extra shot.  'Tis the season to be well-caffeinated. 

"I Won't Let Go" by Rascal Flatts
I just love this song.  It makes the short list of songs that I feel are my anthems for my children.

my new Cyclones Scentsy warmer

Thanks, Jody!  Now even when the Cyclones stink, my house will smell good (ha, ha).

Sophie the Giraffe

This sweet teether is apparently all the rage right now.  When I first saw Sophie, I swore I had seen her before ... a long time ago in a movie.  After wracking my brain, I correctly identified "Three Men and a Baby" as the movie featuring Sophie.  I'm not sure how or why she's made a comeback now, but I can be sure that Santa has been told that Emma wants one of these for Christmas.

Oh, yeah.  And online shopping.
It's saving my you-know-what this year.  I highly recommend zulily.com and etsy.com.  Happy shopping!
