A Julie Andrews Song Comes To Mind... {Cue Music}

These are a few of my FAVORITE THINGS!

I'm not a collector.  I don't follow fads [on purpose].  My favorite places to shop are Target & Costco...but I've been known to enjoy a trip to Nordstrom every now & again.  I'm a simple Country Girl and these are some of the things I like! 

This is one of my family's FAVORITE WORDS this year.  SIMPLIFY.  Stuff, activities, busyness, whatever...just SIMPLIFY. 

This sign is on top of my kitchen cabinet as a daily reminder to do a "What's truly important?" check often.

Does it get more Simple than sitting on a PORCH SWING drinking Sweet Tea

(Ok, I'm not that Southern ~ A Diet Coke for me, please!).  This swing came with the house and I love it. 

I know I risk ridicule and being stereo-typed with this next Favorite Thing!  But don't knock it till you printed your first LABEL!  I use my LABEL MAKER often and I'm more organized because of it!

A new SIGN I got from Hobby Lobby.  I won't really charge my kids $5 for Whining...

but I'm not going to tell them that!  Sssshhhh...

Love these new plastic SERVING PIECES from Target. 

I use the small plates for appetizers ~ too cute!

                                                           

MEASURING CUPS from Pier 1.  So cute, practical and definitely help keep me happy while cooking. 

 It's the little things, really!

This NECKLACE is a favorite.  Not because it has Jewels on it - it doesn't.  Not because the Pearl is real - it's not.  Not because it was expensive - it wasn't.  This necklace is a favorite for what it says.  "Raising Generations".  Isn't that what we're doing as Mother's?  We are raising the next generation of people. 

 I have lots of FAVORITE THINGS!  But they are just that..Things!  My Salvation, The Word of God, My Family & Friends...that's what is truly in my Heart and for which I am most GRATEFUL!

P.S.  If you have any FAVORITE THINGS, I'd love to hear about them!  :)
