These are a few of my favorite things...

I had so much fun creating "my favorite things" list last time, that I just had to do another. Really, it is a perfect excuse to sit, relax, enjoy a cup of tea and create on Mr. Mac.

For baby, I love:

• Sophie the Giraffe - if you haven't met Sophie yet, you must. She is made from all natural rubber and natural food paint, which is really cool. Perfect for teething wee ones. Sophie keeps my wee man company in his crib and I hear her happy squeaks often throughout the night, which makes me smile.
• Swimmi Pants - Considering the high price of disposable swim diapers, these seem like a no-brainer to me! Wee man and I have swimming lessons each week and I just love these handy, affordable and reusable swimmi pants. And, they are completely adjustable, so will fit him for as long as he is in diapers probably.
• Joe Fresh - LOVE, love, LOVE these baby clothes and accessories. I use ONLY this brand for all my designed baby clothes. Thick, soft and durable 100% cotton can't be beat!

For Momma, I love:

• Vichy Thermal Spa Water - My Mr. often laughs it up when he sees me spray this light mist on my face, but it feels amazing! It really does improve your skin tone and makes it feel soft and tighter. I love it.
• Kirby Vacuums - OK, so I know it may seem weird to list this here, but really, the best vacuum in the world. I have the Diamond G series and bought it on Ebay. Since you can only buy new Kirby's through a "door-to-door salesman", I decided to go the used route, which is a good idea, since they last forever and are super expensive. But, if you are anything like me, you buy a new (shitty) vacuum every year hoping it will actually WORK. I have 4 indoor cats and needed something that worked before wee man came along. This vacuum was the answer...carpet AND hardwood....perfect!
• Modern Family - the new sitcom on ABC on Wednesday nights. Finally, a show that is so hilarious I can't wait to watch it. Please watch it - so it stays on TV!
• Chili Oil - My new most favorite thing. I add it to everything. You don't need very much to add a whole lotta spice, but it is great to use when you are frying up meat of any sort. I bought mine at a cool little asian grocery store "Living Delight" here in Brandon.
• Cherry Blossom trees - they're just beautiful. I have an abstract painting of one for sale in my Etsy store, if you are interested.
• Nexcare bandages - Truly, the only bandage that stays put through water, hardcore playing and for days...not that you'd want to use the same bandage for days...but if you did! Wee man had his 1st real owie (blood and all), so Mommy had to put the 1st bandage on his finger - and it stayed on - through tubby time, play time and sleep time! Way to go 3M!!
• Blurb - I have yet to use their really cool site, but plan to in the future. When I get time to design the book I want.

And, there you have it.

Cheers!
