In November my friend Ann threw a “Favorite Things” party. It was so much fun! Each guest was supposed to bring three of the same favorite thing – something we can’t live without – for 10 dollars or less. 
I chose my Conair 10 dollar curling iron from Target. Definitely something I can’t live without. Love that thing! Anyway, we all shared our favorite thing with the group and why we love it so much and then the shopping began and things got really fun! We went around the room and each chose one favorite we wanted for ourselves – then back around the room again and again until we each had three new favorite things to take home. We also took notes and came home with tons of great gift ideas for Christmas. (Oprah’s got nothing on us!)
And we also ate lots of yummy food….
and we also gabbed the night away. So fun. A new tradition for sure.
A few more of my favorite things these days…
Several favorite things about this picture. First, my girls are quietly playing together – helping each other – not fighting. Love that. They are in p.j’s and have messy morning hair. That’s a favorite thing because it represents a morning (probably a low key Saturday) where we don’t have to rush to be anywhere.
Ahhh…my Lean Cuisine pizzas. My friends who know me well know just how much I love my lean cuisine dinners. I would be perfectly content to eat one of these babies every single night.
But alas, I have to think of the rest of my crew who don’t seem to care for them as much as I do. *sigh*
My new Plumberry lipstick and glitter gloss by Bobbi Brown. In fact all things Bobbi Brown would be at the top of my favorites list. Best make-up ever. EVER!
Fixing snacks for my girls on Christmas plates. Really all things Christmassy are at the top of my favorites list. Can you believe this weekend is Christmas!!?? I’m so excited! And stressed. I still have so much to do. I’ll think about that tomorrow. :) Marshmellows are a favorite of Addison’s.
Wearing my various boots is always a favorite thing this time of year, but this season I’ve also enjoyed seeing mini boots on my mini man. Even though he won’t hold still long enough to show off his latest fashion.
And another favorite – Miss Addison in her mommy’s boots. I see this pose on my little fashionista multiple times every day. As she parades around in multiple outfits. Every day. Aside from the drama and laundry that always accompanies this pose – a favorite for sure.

I LOVE the new tradition of a favorite things party! Very cute and so fun! Thanks for sharing!
Some girlfriends and I did a similar “blog” party showing off some favorite things…
I LOVE the favorite things party idea! Sounds like so much fun!
So now I have to know – what kind of curling iron is it that you love? I have one that is very thin, but need a thicker one for looser curls. I know yours is Conair, but is it some particular model? Thanks!!!
I love, love that idea for a party. What a fun idea. Thanks for sharing. Your kids are so sweet. I remember the days of mine playing together and just loving ‘the moment.’ Enjoy and hope you a very Merry Christmas.
oh my, that party sounds like SO much fun!
Love the lipstick color. And I am so with you on the Lean Cuisine pizzas…have you ever had the roasted garlic one? Delicious!
Please give us a list of everyne’s favorite things!!!!

That parts was so fun!! And of course I have thought of about 10 other things I could have brought. :)
Missed you on Sunday. Not liking that I never see you lately. :(
I’m stealing the Favorite Things party idea!! That is the BEST!

You should be a lip model… is there such a thing? They are perfect!!!! Out of this whole blog, I got out of it, “Erin had perfect lips”!!!! AWESOME!!!!
Cute post. Fun party. I was thinking what would I bring? I think it would be the delicous and pretty lip glosses from Bath & Body Works. Have you tried those? Oh my I love them.
Cute brown boots. :)
Oh yes one more thing…
You MUST get yourself some Hunters.
I have just been giddy wearing them this week. They are worth it. Tell your husband I said you just NEED them and that is that. ;)
I love that party idea! I might have to share that with a few friends of mine…we always need new ideas on what to do for get-togethers.
A favorite things party- brilliant! I think I love that a lot more than a white elephant (although those are great for a good laugh). Your sweet miss thang is going to be a fashion model someday… I just feel it. :o) Thanks for sharing!!
Hi Erin! Love hearing about all your fav’s!! Love the lips!! Miss you! Merry Christmas!
HI,
My name is Nicole. I found your blog from Genn Hass. I love all your organizing tips. I am a very organized person. Maybe a little ocd! But oh well. Anyways. Your favorite party idea is great. How fun.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the idea for a Favorite Things Party! Such a fun idea! I totally want to do that with friends next year!
A favorite things party sounds like a wonderful idea. Thanks for sharing some of yours…I love those plates (and the boots!). Have a wonderful Christmas.
So, had Addie received boots of her own? I’m just wondering if she would even wear them. Thanks for keeping the Christmas thing real. I enjoy your down to earthiness.
