love free samples at trader joe's!!
Thanks for the link to Susannah Tucker's photo blocks! I ordered 3 and they just arrived. They are reminders of my 3 favorite places to be with my husband and 2 boys ... home, Jackson Hole, WY, and Hilton Head, SC.
I read your bio - congratulations on your twins on the way! I can guarantee motherhood will be your ultimate favorite thing!! And you should add Mo Willems children's books to your list of favorites once your children are preschoolers. Knufflebunny is our favorite.
Thanks again for the recommendation!
its a lot harder than it seems! :) i got to 'a'.. 'aaaa... hmmm... oh whatever, it's late! :P' i might do it some day.. in future.. :)
I totally agree on the C.O. Bigelow mentha lip gloss! I love it too!
What a great little exercise! I love it. :)
...and what are vanilla steamers? I'm so curious!
Thanks for the Mo Williams recommendation, Elizabeth! I'm heading over to Amazon now to read more about it...
Oh Mary, vanilla steamers are one of my favorite cold weather treats. Just steamed milk with vanilla syrup. I'm not a coffee drinker so this is my go-to drink when we go to cafes. It's like warm melty vanilla ice cream. YUM!
Elizabeth! I just realized we did get a Mo Willems book for one of our showers, "I Got A New Toy!" I read it already and LOVED it. I'm definitely adding more of these books to my Amazon wishlist.

Sarah - thanks for sharing some of your faves, too! I can't believe I forgot about cashmere sweaters. (Cashmere anything, actually!) And just seeing the words 'salt water' reminded me just how much I love salt water taffy... especially when it's nice and fresh.
So, loved reading your list too. Thanks!
