A few of my Favorite Things

This book was a gift from a dear friend. If you are 30+ and a woman, buy it, borrow it, read it. It’s a great resource to have, and explains things in simple terms.

This is such a great way for my little one to practice, and for her attention span. There are tiny magnetic beads within the plastic case. The little pen is used to help children form their letters (and another for numbers) well, in an engaging way. When the magnets are pulled toward the surface the kids then push them back down again. I may find myself playing with this as well, ha ha.

My girls love nail polish, but I do not like all of the chemicals in traditional polish. This paint works well, and I don’t have to worry.


This creamer helps me as I am attempting to cut down on dairy (oh help me with cheese), and tastes amazing in Chai tea.

Since I have cut down on my intake of coffee to one cup a day, decaf or caffeinated chai has replaced my day long cup of joe.


As we study different time periods or the kids ask questions, this giant timeline sits as a desk reference. It folds out across the room, or can flip to keep the size within reach. It starts at creation and goes until present day.

Let’s all agree, these markers help kids of every age write lists, draw pictures, or anything that requires writing (gasp!) complete sentences.

Let’s talk about curly hair. I use Shea Moisture and the Curly Girl method. I do not use the shampoo. Maybe I’ll share more later. So, if you like the smell of my hair, this is it. ;)

This is such a great book. You must check it out.
