Enjoying The Process: …a few of my favorite things…

These are a few of my favorite things…can’t you just hear Julie Andrews singing that???

I decided to join JoLynne over at Musings of a Housewife for a post about my favorite things.

My favorite new song – You Are More by Tenth Avenue North. This plays and it’s stuck in my head for hours…really. Here it is.

My favorite new toy – that would have to be my iPhone! Got it a couple of months ago when the camera on my Blackberry drove me just a little too crazy. I love love love it!! It has been a bit of a challenge learning it, but I’m doing ok.

My favorite new app – I’d like to agree with JoLynne and say InstaGram, but honestly, it drives me a bit crazy…I’m still trying to get it... I really LOVE the Calendar app that actually came on the phone! I’ll tell you what, that there app is worth the whole phone! Literally, everything in one place! Literally!!!!

My favorite (old) Christmas story – Gotta go with The Nativity Story in the book of Luke. I like lots of the Christmas stories, but this tops them all for me!

My favorite new snack – Caramel Corn! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

My favorite new recipe – Tough one. Most recipes are new to me at this point, since Dollie and Hubs are now gluten-free and I have to alter so many of the old stand-by recipes. Some work better than others, but it’s usually edible. Cannot wait to try the bread JoLynne shared!

My favorite new TV show – Last Man Standing with Tim Allen. Loved him on Home Improvement years ago, and this is a close second! The story of this family and each one’s drama just keeps me laughing for the whole half hour.

My favorite new lipstick – Buxom Lips by Bare Minerals. I am a big BE girl, and I just love the tingly feel of this gloss!

My favorite new accessory – My Kathy Van Zealand bag…I have been wanting one for quite awhile, and when I found this one at TJMaxx, I snagged it. Love it! Though I wish it had a bit more structure to it. I’ve been thinking about one of those “organizer inserts” – any thoughts? Epic fail on that photo! Sorry about that…but see what I mean about the structure? Oi Vey!

My favorite Christmas Tradition – We’ve actually created a couple new traditions in the last couple of years. Probably my favorite is the Stocking. Around October 1, we each draw a name out of a hat and we get a set amount of money to fill that person’s stocking. It has proven to be a great tradition that everyone looks forward to. I especially like it because I was always the one to do everyone’s stocking, and I always ran short on time, money and creativity….now everyone enjoys the challenge and it’s cool to see what each person comes up with!

My new favorite beverage – the Dunkin Donuts Latte with cinnamon or mocha peppermint!! Mmmmmmmmmmmm! Drummer really likes the Mint Hot Chocolate!
