Who just loves, “The Sound of Music”? I have a friend who recently got to go to Austria and take the Sound of Music tour. That would be amazing. I am really hoping my girls will like it too…and it’s a secret, but the Mister likes that movie too. (His mom was a nun!)<\/p>\n

I thought I would share with you today a “few of my favorite things” (In no particular order)<\/p>\n

1. My Keurig Machine<\/p>\n

I really don’t know how I used to start my day…probably with a bad cup of coffee:)<\/p>\n

2. Dry Shampoo<\/p>\n

I have quite the collection of ones I’ve tried. But this one is my favorite. It’s a bit expensive but I think it’s worth it, as you don’t have to use as much as drugstore brands (although I use those too for days when I don’t have to go anywhere important).<\/p>\n

Life saver in the terms of keeping the cheerios in the right spot-not on my floor and inbetween my toes (no one in my house wears socks at home:) I have tried a few other brands and while they don’t let the contents out in your bags, once a toddler gets the cup, it’s all over. These snack traps are great! I get mine at\u00a0Wee Love Baby Boutique<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Petunia Pickle Bottom<\/p>\n

Oh…what can I say? I really love these bags. Being a momma of three (ok, that might have been the first time I’ve used the phrase!), I carry around a lot of other people’s things. I considered just carrying a purse and diaper bag to make more room in my diaper bag…but that is one more thing to lose. So I got all this birthday money and thought I was going to actually use it on myself this time. So I bought this:<\/p>\n

I don’t have it yet…Canadians are so behind in getting things to their customers I find. PPB doesn’t ship to Canada from their website. Boo! Apparently they are working on it. I hope so-because I really am excited to maybe pick up some of their smaller accessories in their new Outlet sale. Otherwise, my American friends may have some of my purchases coming their way \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

5. A summer’s eve<\/p>\n

I truly enjoy sitting on our back deck and just watching the sunset. While I wish I was looking out to a big field of wild flowers (I’m a country girl at heart I think), we have a very, very nice backyard. All landscaped. I am so glad\u00a0I found it. (<\/em>Yes, that’s right, I should have been paid some commission!)<\/p>\n

6. My Ribbon Collection<\/p>\n

I use ribbon all the time. For pretty much something every day. Hair, presents, hairbows, trim on skirts. The list is endless. I have a whole wall and a few small bins of ribbon. I try to buy it only on sale (because you can get some very good sales at Michael’s. They have to-who is going to pay their regular prices?). My newest sources online though, are:\u00a0The Ribbon Retreat<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Canada Tulle<\/a>\u00a0(Look at these sites and you know there is a markup! And a very large markup!)<\/p>\n

7. Ruffles<\/p>\n

I surf pinterest way too much! I am addicted. I may need to start a support group….oh wait…I already have-it’s my fellow Pinterest Followers! And I usually pin everything with Ruffles. Here are some of the things around my house that I have made with Ruffles:<\/p>\n

8. Anne of Green Gables<\/p>\n

Seriously? Do I need to explain this one? I first watched this movie in 1987 I believe. I was 5. My mom taped it using the VCR (yes, Lil’ A asked me what that was!) and I wore out those tapes. CBC Family Hour…nothing good and wholesome ever comes on TV anymore. It’s rare. But I still have my tapes…actually someone bought me the real VHS ones when I was in high school for Christmas because they hated watching the recorded versions (hey-my mom had actually paused the recording at every commercial, so for the record, it was commercial free!) But now I have the DVD version, thanks to the Mister. (Who has watched it only once…with one eye opened:)<\/p>\n

9. Vintage Lace<\/p>\n

Again, I have sourced a good place to find “vintage-like” lace online<\/a>. I decorated with it this past fall and at Christmas. I need to use up what I have now. I just like to look at it. Although, I need a good way to display it all.<\/p>\n

10. A Good Book<\/p>\n

I recently just finished “Safe Haven” by Nicholas Sparks (first book I read on my new iPad mini!), but my favorite author is\u00a0Karen Kingsbury<\/a>. I have now read almost all her books, so I need to find another good Christian author to read between her books. Any suggestions? (I am not into mysteries though).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I really enjoyed this book…It had a very unpredictable ending (in my opinion.)<\/p>\n

I will admit, I find it really hard to read non-fiction. It takes me forever to finish a non-fiction book unless I skim over parts. I think it has to do with reading 10-15 non-fiction books every 12 weeks during bible school.<\/p>\n

OK, that was more than a few. Oops.<\/p>\n

What are your favorite things?<\/p>\n
