Just a Few of My Favorite Things..

It is always nice to identify a few things that make your daily life easier, more comfortable or just make you smile. I tend to become a die-hard to products I love.

I always enjoy hearing what other women can't live without so I've decided to share some of my favorite things..

Barleans makes giving my kids their Omegas super easy. It tastes just like a smoothie and they look forward to getting it every morning. It has been awarded "Best of Supplements" three years running. Great for adults and kids a like.

I've been obsessed with Converse shoes since I was a kid and now that I have my own babes it's only grown deeper. I own four pair myself, my husband has several and my boys rock them in every color and pattern. I find them on-line, at thrift stores, consignment stores, yard sales and at Target. I give them away for birthday presents all the time. I think they look good on everyone and can usually be worn by the guys when dressing up or down.

I got this glorious lip balm in my Christmas stocking this year from my Mother-in-law. The shape is cool and makes it easy for me to find it when rooting through my purse past the diapers, snack crumbs, lollipop sticks and random sock. It's organic, 100% natural and the summer fruit makes me feel like I'm poolside during the season of blizzards here in the Midwest.

I'm a coffee addict, this you know. I've had lots of coffee from lots of places. Starbucks especially. I still prefer Trader Joes every single time. I buy 3 at a time and smile because it's $3.99 for the above container. I feel like I'm ripping them off.


These are in my purse at all times. Who knew instant coffee could be this crazy good? No one could ever tell this is instant! If I'm out and about I just get a cup of hot water, add cream and some sugar and I've got Starbucks in my hand. I gave these out to my girlfriends this year for Christmas. I take full responsibility for their now addiction. Cafe Via comes flavored also and they have an iced version. Occasionally I've seen these buy a pack-get one free, making a cup of Starbucks coffee around $.50.


My Uggs were luckily a gift as I may have never splurged to buy a pair for myself. I'm in total love! They are like big giant hugs for your feet. I don't wear socks with them and have worn them in the snow sled riding with my boys. They are made so well. I make them go with most everything and have decided I need more pairs. On sale of course.

What are some of your favorite things?
