favorite things

Forget the Sound of Music - these are a few of my favorite things. (By the way - who really like raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens - please.)

Burt's Bees lipgloss
Smartwool socks
Heidi's recipe for homemade pumpkin bread
Mackenzie River pizza (available in Montana only, alas)
Norwex cleaning cloths - still amazed at how well they clean
Arnica montana homeopathic remedy for bruises - it really works
Trader Joe's lavender salt scrub
Nad's hair removal paste (be prepared though...)
smell of sheets hung on the line (wonder if anyone's managed to bottle that)
pretty much anything written by John Ortberg, Kevin Leman or Mark Buchanan
Ipod - jamming to ABBA had got my through many a miserable day
Air One or even better the Refuge Radio (but I can't get it in out here)
Miriam's Massage
Knitpicks.com - best yarn prices I've found
Facebook - but it's a time sucker
Sudoku
Malarky - great family game, especially when you spend more time arguing about the rules than playing the game
Kohl's clearance racks
Duluth, MN - one of my favorite places to visit
Caribou Daybreak coffee - mmmmmm!
Costco - I find deals and the kids like the free samples
Dove chocolates (need I say more - it's chocolate!)
Ghirardelli chocolate chips - they make all the difference in the world
Macintosh computers
Mercer Mayer books - love looking for the little spider or mouse on each page
Dr. Suess - Bartholomew and the Oobleck is still one of the best
Behr and Benjamin Moore paint - still prefer this to just about anything else - I don't care what Consumer Reports says
Wooster's little purple brush - the best angled brush for a woman's hand
Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece yarn - best for baby hats
Aveda Replenishing Body Lotion - works great for dry skin and I love the smell
Tea tree oil - works great on canker/cold sores (if you can get past the taste/smell) and on cuts to disinfect
