A Few of My Favorite Things

One day when I was listening to The Sound of Music Soundtrack on XM Radio's "Broadway" station, I took the time to really listen to the lyrics in "My Favorite Things."

And it made me realize, ya know, some of the things in Maria's "favorites list" are definitely NOT my favorite things. (Cream colored ponies? Uh, no, they wouldn't make my list.)

So since that time, I've tried to stop and write down a few of my own favorite things every now and then (and post them here).

I haven't put my list to music yet, but one day. You wait.

Question of the Day: What are YOUR "Favorite Things?"




My new Jane Austen Action Figure--a bday gift from a friend. Is that the coolest thing ever?
Take that, GI Joe and Spiderman!


The GLEE, volume 3, CD. (I LOVE IT!) (And I love it even more because our kids pooled their own money and bought it as a surprise for me for my bday. THANK YOU!)


Thyme. I love the feel and smell of this plant. (Is it a plant, Janae? Can I call it that?)


Eclipse, the movie. (And how excited our kids were to see it. And yes, I let our older kids see it. I'll probably get a few cranky emails about that. But the way I see it, I'm teaching them to stay away from vampires and werewolves, supporting Mormon artists/Stephanie Meyer, AND buying myself 2:05 hours of ME-TIME.)



I'm nervous everytime someone slips or slides, but I love the slip 'n slide.

Sparklers and June weddings.
(PS: Can't wait for the 4th of July!)
