1. Guittard Chocolate chips. Can I just say yum? These chocolate chips are not only really good, but they are really big, and since chocolate is my favorite part of any cookie, this is a must-have for a cookie-phile like myself. In fact, just posting this makes me want to go open a bag . . .
2. "Matched", by Allie Condie, is my new favorite book. For those of you who love Uptopia/dystopia books like Hunger Games, this is the book for you! The only downside to this book is that it is the first book in a series, so I am, once again, stuck waiting to see what happens. Oh well, I guess half the fun is looking forward to these type of things, right?
3. Ticket to Ride is my favorite game. If you love board games, you will love this one! If you don't love board games, I'm willing to bet you will still enjoy this one. 'Nuff said.
4. I hated winter until I bought these boots from R.E.I. But ever since I bought these little babies, winter and I get along fabulously. I can tromp through the snow or just a wet slushy parking lot, and my little toes stay toasty warm!
5. Petunia Pickle Bottom diaper bags are wooonnnndddeerrrffffull! They are not cheap, but I am willing to skimp in other areas for this bag. Considering that I lug the thing everywhere, there are worse places to sink your dollar. My favorite thing about this bag, besides being cute, is that they have back pack straps so that you don't injure one of your shoulders and a built in changing pad.
6. I had to give a shout-out to my favorite cooking blog, simplysogood.blogspot.com. Looove this blog. It has some fabulous recipes and the author, Janet Barton, gives you the step-by-step instructions so even a dummy in the kitchen (like me) cannot possibly go wrong. I also like that her recipes contain mostly basic household ingredients. You may have to go buy one thing, but not six.
So there you have it folks. These are some of my favorite things. . . I had so much fun writing about these things, I will probably have to do this every couple of months. Let me know what your favorite things are, I love learning what makes others happy . . . and usually I want to try/see/know about them too!
