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
Perhaps it’s the holiday season or perhaps it was the recent Live version of the Sound of Music… who doesn’t LOVE that movie (although we all know Carrie Underwood paled in comparison to Julie Andrews but that’s not the point), Either way it got me thinking about My Favorite Things.
Last year I devoted 12 consecutive days to listing items that any new Mom could use (check it out here – Mommy McBlog 12 Days of Giftmas). It was fun to work on every day, but since I’m not on maternity leave anymore, this year’s post will be the abridged version. And go!!
Mommy McBlog – My Favorite Things
(in no particular order)

Binkies on a String
If Denny and I were Hansel & Gretel, we could trace our last 14 months by finding binkies along the way. They’ve been tossed/dropped over balconies, down toilets, in pools, around beds, the list goes on and on. Then about 12 months into being parents we gained some common sense and purchased a few of these bad boys.
Hello Binkies on a String, I think I love you!!!

Mary Kay Peach Satin Hands Pampering Set
Perfect for those busy moms who need a spa trip but don’t have time. Renew, smooth and pamper those hands! You’ll be glad you did and your hands won’t feel a day over 25.

Snapfish.com
I love everything Snapfish… photo books, ornaments, calendars, you name it! They also have rockin’ 60% off promo codes. Heck yeah!!
~~~~~~~
Roomba…
Wowza, Amazing, Fabulous!!
The. Best. Purchase. Ever! I can never say “I don’t have time to sweep/vacuum the floors” again! It takes a few minutes to pick up loose toys and items but then I hit Go and the Roomba sweeps up the entire downstairs. It’s awesome!! Go get one if you don’t have one yet. Your life will be changed forever.

Tim Hortons K-Cups …
This is even better than sliced bread because the last time I checked you couldn’t put Schwebel’s in your Keurig every morning to make your day amazing!

= 
(I swear I look this happy every morning after I get my Tim Ho’s coffee)

And last but certainly not least…
Friday Night Date Nights
Well, sort of a date night. Every Friday night Denny and I put Makenzie to bed, and then we get a little crazy… We order up a hot Picasso’s pizza for the two of us to share and we hang out on the couch, we catch up with each other, we catch up on some DVR and we get a little bit food drunk. Talk about hot and steamy nights! I highly recommend it.

Those are some of my favorite things. Hopefully they inspired some ideas for those of you with last-minute shopping (I’m part of this group)! May your days leading up to Christmas be merry and bright (and if they aren’t all perfectly merry, bright and stress-free, then Congratulations, you’re normal!)
Thanks for stopping by!
Love,
Erin the blog elf
