20 of my Favorite things!
1. My Family- I obviously love my little family but I also love my extended family so much. I am so glad I have such a big, close family. It's the best!
2. My Friends- my friends all have a special place in my heart, I love having girls nights out, meeting up with girlfriends to have play dates with our kids, exercising with them, scrapbooking with them, going out for coffee, shopping, and couples nights!
3. Being a Mom- The best thing, and I love being a stay-at-home Mom. Wouldn't want to change it for the world!
4. The Beach- I love the beach. I love the smell of it, I love the sand in my toes (and only in my toes), I absolutely love it at about 4:00 in the summer, it is still warm and the sun is a little less hot, people are starting to leave, it is my favorite. I love the ocean when it is warm enough for me to handle! I love watching the boys playing in the sand. I love that Brianna wants to spend every day at he beach because I was the same way at her age! And I love my in-laws live there and it makes going to the beach SO much easier with the boys!
5. Pictures- I love taking pictures and I love looking at pictures. I love looking at old pictures. Every so often I will get out old photo albums at my Mom's and look at them. Or our wedding album! Which leads me to...
6. Scrapbooking- I love DIGITAL scrapbooking. I am SO glad my friend Lindsay got me into this. I love it and it really is my hobby. The books are so great and so much better than old scrapbooking! We have started scrapbooking nights and I LOVE those too!
7. Sweets- I have a sweet tooth. Every day/night I have to have something. Ice-cream, cookies, or chocolate candy of some sort!
8. Pedicures- My favorite thing to do for myself, by myself! I love reading People magazine while I have one, my guilty pleasure. I used to get one every 2 weeks before I was married and had kids. Now MAYBE once a month!
9. Vacation- Love traveling, seeing new places or going back to old favorites!
10. Shopping- For clothes. Who doesn't love shopping?? I don't even care if it isn't for myself! One of my jobs I would have wanted...personal shopper/stylist!
11. Living close to Family- I love that all my family lives so close. I love that my Mom lives 7 minutes from us and one of my brothers lives 4 minutes from us. And Craig's family, minus one sister lives only 30 minutes from us. I couldn't ever imagine being far away from them!
12. Coffee- I have two cups every morning and wish I could drink it all the time. I can't start my day without it!
13. Good Restaurants- I love to go out to eat. To "nice" restaurants where we wouldn't take the kids. I would much rather go to a nice restaurant than do something else for date night or my Birthday. We also love to find "the best of", we are always looking online for the best pizza, hamburger, or just last weekend fried chicken!
14. The Crock-pot- I love to cook, but I love the crock pot. I was just introduced to it last year and so enjoy it. I love throwing it all in, having everything cleaned up and it has really helped me since I have to pick up Brianna half the year at 5:00 from track practice at Servite. We don't get home till 5:30 and dinner is all ready!
15. Family Outings- I love getting out of the house and doing something fun on the weekends. And I love when Brianna joins us, which isn't very often since she is so busy with her teenage life!
16. Disneyland passes- I am so happy we have Disneyland passes. I never thought I would say I love going to Disneyland but I do! It is so much fun with the kids. I love seeing them get so excited and I love being to go for a few hours and not feel guilty because the tickets are so expensive!
17. Tennis- I love playing tennis and miss playing it with my Mom. I can't wait till the boys are both in school and I can have some time to do it again! I want to join a Woman's league.
18. A clean house- I love when my house is clean, which is not very often with three kids and a not so neat husband.
19. DVR- One of the best inventions. I don't know how parents ever watched TV before. We watch everything on DVR and if we didn't we would probably not watch anything. I love not having to watch commercials. It let's me record my favorite shows and my number one show I am obsessed with is Real Housewives. I watch EVERY city!!
20. Blogging-I love that I have my blog. Even if no one reads it it is such a great thing to have. I print out my whole blog for the year and I love that it is like a little yearbook of our family. I also love reading other peoples' blogs and designing new headers for my blog!
