Gratitude: Day 12

To day I wanted to share a few of my favorite things. They're nothing fancy. They just seem to make me happy and for that I am grateful...

I love the Barefoot Contessa. She is one of my favorite chefs. I love her cooking show. I would love to think that if I had the time and the money, I could cook just like her. Of all her cook books, I love the Barefoot Contessa Family Style. My favorite recipe - Chicken stew with dumplings. If you know me well then you'll know the perfect snack for me is a coke and jelly bellys. I buy a big bag (from Costco) and hide it in the kitchen. (If Ryan reads our blog, I've spilled the beans and I'm sure they'll be gone soon) Every day, sometimes twice a day, I grab a small handful and savor each one. My favorite flavor - buttered popcorn. Really, it's kind of gross, but I can't seem to stop eating them.


There is nothing worse than dry chapped hands. My favorite aunt Rosie introduced me to the best handcream - L 'Occitane. It's thick and buttery and makes my hands ever so happy! I keep one by the kitchen sink (so I don't get dish pan hands) and one in my purse. It's a little pricey, but I highly recommend it!
last but not least, I am in love with my day planner! I am OCD, I'll admit it. I have to schedule everything. I love to schedule everything - from my cleaning schedule to Christmas lists. It keeps me on task. If I don't get anything done in the day it's because I didn't write it in my planner. Thank you Mr Franklin Covey!
