My Favorite Things for 2007

I love Oprah's favorite thing show, so when Holly had the great idea of doing her own favorite things, I just knew I had to copy.

1. First and fore most...my new ring. I still love that bad boy and still find myself gazing down at it. Scott's comment " we should have done that a loooong time ago". Smart man.


2. My nice new LG fridge. That sucker is coming with me to Washington. If the people that buy this house want it...they can buy it. I'd get another one just like it. Even if that new house already HAS a fridge, that one would go in the garage, and my LG gets center stage in the kitchen.




3. My Dansco Maryjane clogs. How have I survived without them for so long???? I could wear them everyday with just about every (casual) outfit. Sometimes, when I wear a nasty uncomfortable pair of shoes (like to church) my feet just can't hardly wait to put these lovelies on.


4. My Gap boot cut jeans. My most favorite pair are the boot cut with the patch pocket. They fit perfectly and they are oh so comfy. Also, the regular boot cuts are good too. They are cut a little more generous and looser than the ones with the pocket. This Momma liked the price tag too. $49.50 for the flap jeans. These are the jeans I had to look high and low for when they first came out. I finally got them in Las Vegas with my sistas.


5. My new IPOD nano. I got the green one, and it makes me happy. I went running yesterday, and had that thingy cranked up and could have run forever...well maybe not forever, but it does add a little spice to my life. Much better having your own that sharing with your husband...ewww yuck, right? Funny thing was, Scott got me a fancy smancy one last year when Hope was born...but I took it back!!! What a crazy.

6. The Venus Breeze razor. Sounds kind of silly, but it has revolutionized the way I shave. The little shaver head has this little soapy thing on either side of the razor that moisturizes so you don't have to add soap or shaving cream. You just wet your let and shave!!! Love it. I find that I shave WAY more. You know, because the cream and the soap can be SUCH a pain ;)

7. Nedi Pot. Now, I don't recommend using one when your sister (Hayley) is standing right there making you laugh and choke. That was not so good, and the pot almost got cut off my list. But it's not the Nedi pots fault that my sister Hayley is a spaz. I would recommend doing the Nedi pot "cleanse" at night too. You might have some excess drainage (d0n't worry it's just water). Okay, now I have probably totally turned you off to it, but still, it's one of my favorite things. Gross things, yes, but still a fav.


8. My Willow Tree nativity. I know I just got it, but I do love it so. I'm just glad I finally got it! I remember the first time I saw it, we were at Scott's cousins house, and I saw it and fell in love.

9. My Cosmo Cricket paper that I got several months ago. I have only done a couple of scrapbook pages with it, but I love love love it.

10. On-line math facts. Oh my gosh how I love these! There are so many sites out there, but a favorite of mine, is this one. Just to make sure, you know these are for my kids not me. But it really is for me because now, I can be a good Mom and have them know their math facts like pro's but also a lazy good Mom cuz I don't have to do it!!

11. Okay so this next one is a package deal. There are several favorites all mixed together. First of all, I love the food network website. I love the recipe box thing on there. I discovered Giada De Laurentiss this year. So, that leads me to favorite recipes for this year. Amaretto Chocolate Chip Cookie Sandwiches and Linguine with Chicken Ragu. I wouldn't say either recipe is hard, in fact both are easy, but they are time consuming. Just don't make them both on the same day like I have. Oh my gosh though, good stuff.

I'm getting Kevin a Nedi for Christmas! He'll love it as much as you do.

Hayley said...

for the record, i didn't start spazing until you started gagging. you were doing the nedi pot thing wrong from the get go. but it did make me wanna puke, i also love your danskos. they're adorable. and your flap pocket - boot cuts, you're so cute. i love you heather & miss you so much already!!!

oh yeah - as for "might" have some drainage. you need to move so you can shop at target with some self respect now. you had at least two drainage attacks in there!!!

Heather said...

Well Hayley, I was laughing with you there anyway. You got me off my groove :) And just for the record I had a drainage attack in MY CAR at Target, and yes then again in the store. hehe

fun list! i need to get my act together and do a list.

Jori said...

I love everything on your list. Sorry to be like your copy cat neighbor but I must have your mary janes, very cute!

Jori said...

Heather do you think those mary janes run small? That is what I am reading in reviews.

Mom said...

Good stuff. I especially like the ring. Those shoes are mighty cute, too. Hayley has a cold and I suggested she get a nedi pot. You can imagine her response.

Heather said...

Jori, I'm not sure. I tried them on in a store, so...go find them in Vegas, that's where I bought mine after all.

Kristi said...

I Love your list, Heather! It makes me want to go out and buy everything you've listed (shh, don't tell Nolan!)
