These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things


My mom loved that song! She loved The Sound Of Music movie it comes from too. While driving a few days ago it came on the radio (not sure why it is considered a Christmas song) and made me smile and tear up a bit, remembering mom. It inspired me to write a post about my favorite things. Here are some of mine:

  • My kids and their families!
  • Baby feet. I just think they are the cutest things!
  • Scented candles
  • A good, mushy love story novel
  • Hallmark sappy Christmas movies
  • Long stretches and snuggling back up when you first wake up without the help of the alarm clock.
  • The color pink
  • Popcorn – without all the butter and yuck on it, just straight up popcorn. The best is cooked on the stove top in canola oil then very lightly salted.
  • Yarn – the yarn aisle at Hobby Lobby and Michael’s calls to me.
  • Coffee. Usually just black but during the holidays I like flavored creamers.
  • Brach’s candy corn. It is the best brand. Probably one of my all time favorite candies.
  • Social media – even though I have to wade through so much stuff I still love it.
  • Pinterest on which I pin hundreds of great ideas that I will likely never get to try.
  • Fuzzy socks
  • Hello Kitty anything
  • Black cats
  • Naps
  • Christmas time
  • Summer
  • Amazon Prime – because I hate to shop
  • Crocheting things
  • Getting mail that isn’t a bill!

These are just scratching the surface and in no particular order. Just a few things on my favorites list!
