Few of My Favorite Things

10 of my favorite things:

1.)  Clean spaces.

2.)  Spending time in the baby's nursery (decorating, reading and feeling close to her).

3.)  The beach.

Why was I born in the midwest?

4.)  Waking up with songs in my head.  Often I wake up in the middle of the night or morning singing a song I haven't heard for years.  The lyrics tend to carry meaning and application for my life, so I am convinced God hits the play button on any given song to communicate messages to me.

5.)  Les Enfants Terribles -  An eclectic home and garden store with a wine n' coffee bar.  Live music most Thursday nights.  The cool trailer in the background is their office.

6.)  Our new herb garden which includes basil, sage, rosemary, thyme, mint, oregano and tomatoes.  

7.)  The laughter of babies and children.  No music can compare.  

8.)  Having a cheerful heart.  "A cheerful heart is good medicine".  I am convinced the only way to have a cheerful heart is to have a grateful heart.

9.)  Fashion (especially from J. Crew and Anthropology). 

10.)  Leaving soon for a Western European cruise with my husband which includes day trips to these locations...

Bon voyage!
