34 Things I Love

Now that I'm older (mid-thirties, yo!) I thought I might

tell you about some of the things I have loved over

the last year.  Some of them are silly things, some of them

are life changing things, and some of them are concepts.  

Stick with me. 

1.) Letterpress - love the look of this print making process!

2.) Growing my own Zinnias.  I can peer over 

my deck and look at these beauties all summer long. 

Seriously, they are the easiest flower to grow. 

2.) Brooklyn 99 - Thanks to Auntie Stacy for introducing

me to this hilarious show.  And thanks for letting

me have your hulu login so I could catch up on

the first two seasons. 

4.) Keeping in touch with friends. 

This is so much harder than it might seem...

but always worth it in the end. 

5.) Polka Dots - forever and ever and ever. 

6.) Growing my own sugar snap peas. 

It continues to amaze me that we 

can grow some of our own produce. 

7.) Made Local Marketplace - a super fun arts 

and crafts type show that happens once a quarter

here in Columbus.  They have such unique 

and fun gifts...I can always find something I want to buy.

8.) Water Coloring with Max - it started

in the summer time with this Eric Carle pad that

Candice sent - and the love continues still today!

8.) Be Fit Cafe - the gluten free pepperoni pizza!

Soooooo good!  I want to go there all the time

to get this pizza. I couldn't even tell it was

gluten free. 

9) 4th of July Parade - this parade makes me ridiculously happy. 

10.) The Zella line at Nordstroms - this is work out gear

and I've recently fallen in love with it! I love all the fun 

patterns of their pants. 

11,) Eating outside on the deck. 

12.) Chai Tea Lattes from Starbucks

13.) Popsicles and Sunglasses with Max. 

14.) Anything from Ann Taylor Loft - can't go wrong

shopping here!

15.) The Blow Out Bar - LIFE CHANGING!

I use them all the time (see pic below) when I want

my hair to be looking tamed and pretty. 

16.) Califia Farms Cold Brew Coffee - for when you

don't have the time or money to make your won. 

17.) Finding a great Alterations lady. 

The dress below was on super clearance at Loft. 

I LOVED IT. It was totally worth the money to have

it fitted for me.  

18.) Stella and Dot - I love everything in their

catalog.  Earrings, necklaces, bracelets, purses.....you name it!

19.) Vintage Quilts - So beautiful! 

20.) Booties - I used to not think I could pull this

fashion trend off.  But, as I slowly gave into this 

footwear...I ended up really liking them. 

21.) Jenny Barnes Photography - she nails it every time. 

Even when you think your kid was not cooperating. Golden. 

She is worth every damn penny.

22.) Supper Club - this little once a month gathering 

of some of my best gal pals is the best. I love catching 

up with them and eating yummy food in the process. 

23.) Trader Joes - where else can you get tiny wine

samples on a Sunday afternoon with your sister? 

24.) The ice cream boat on Captiva Island. 

This idea is totally genius. And yes I did 

run down the beach like a crazy person to track it down. 

25.) Woven Pear Socks - come on, they had

narwhals...of course they made the list. 

26.).  You can't really tell - but I'm wearing a romper

in the below picture.  It was so comfy and cool

and I can't believe I waited so long to buy one. 

27.) Snap Chat - all the young kids at work forced

me to download this app...and I have to admit, it's pretty fun. 

28.) Franklin Park Conservatory - this place

is the best!  We love going here to look at the plants, 

drop coins in the water, find the train, and generally

just run around. 

29.) Garth Brooks in Concert - i still can't 

believe this happened!  The best show EVER!

30.)  Completing my "week in the life" album. 

This was a true labor of love and one I'm so happy

to have done. This will be a great time capsule

of our life!

31.)  Essential Oils.

Young Living Essential Oils are the BEST!

We use them for everything....respitory...sleeping...

skin...pain relief...basically there is an oil for everything!

32.) Fit Bit.  

Lately I've fallen off the band wagon...but 

I still love my Fit Bit.  It holds me accountable

for those days when I'm feeling sluggish. 

33.) Advocare.  Loved this program 

for getting me back into a healthy mind set. 

Can't wait to see what my 34th year brings

in terms of my favorite things....

and also, if you're super into something now

or have recommendations...let me know!!
