A Few of my Favorite Things.....

For today's "Day in the Life" bog link up with the Busy Budgeting Mama I thought 

I'd share a few of my favorite things : )

Get your Read on

Outlander Series

Seriously THE BEST story telling EVER.  There are 8 hefty books in the series.... 

not for the faint of heart but totally worth it!

God Crazy

A wonderful instruction manual on how to surrender.  An excellent book that I read over and over.

The Shack

True or not it makes you think and helped me strengthen my relationship with God.

Twilight Series

I know I know, these are for teenagers right?  Come on, who can't relate to a teenage girl who's totally smitten!  I know I can.  And the classic Romeo and Juliet theme never gets old.

Get your Music on

Jason Aldean - A good ol' country boy rocking in out!

Need to Breathe - "Something Beautiful" is a must hear.  Check it out on YouTube!

Brandon Heath - mellow christian grooves

BNL (Barenaked Ladies) - an all-time favorite.  These guys can sing anything.  If I was stuck on a deserted Island and could only have 1 band to listen to, they would be it.

Dave Matthews Band/Counting Crows/Live - Musical geniuses!

Get your Grocery On

ALDI - I can feed a family of 4 for $75 per week!  Need I say more?

Aldi's carries their own brand of foods at awesome prices.   There are several items that I prefer the Aldi brand over the big name brands!


Get your Style On

My favorite clothing store is New York & Co.

Stylish and sleek, reasonably priced.  Sign up for a NY&CO credit card and receive promotional offers like $25 off of $75 purchase.  I wait until I get one of these coupons to make my move.  Shop the sales and use this coupon and you can walk out with some major deals!

Get your Mama On

I See Me Personalized Books

Both of my boys have these and LOVE them.  Makes them feel really special and helps them learn to spell their names.  A great gift for a new baby!

Fisher Price Booster Chair

Goes from babyhood to toddlerhood.  Easy to carry anywhere....restaurant, relative's, even a picnic.

Don't leave the house without


iPhone 4

I love it....probably a little too much!
Best part is using facetime to see my boys when they wake up if I have already gone to work.
Not to mention all those nifty apps!

Granola Bars

Not going anywhere for a while?
Don't grab a Snickers, grab a Quaker Chewy Granola Bar (90 calorie variety).
Much more nutritious and for a gal that gets hungry in the blink of an eye,
they are perfect.  Great for the kids too!

What are some of your favs?
