My Favorite Things -2007

Top Ten Products, Obsessions and Discoveries of 2007

Reusable Shopping Bags -I'm finally doing my part to reduce paper and plastic bag consumption by using cute Eco-friendly totes at the grocery store.

Smashbox Photo Finish - Aging gracefully with this skin perfecting primer.

Bloglines -Controlled chaos for the gazillion blogs I read.

No-Cry Discipline Solution -The best parenting book I've read so far.  Filled with tips that actually work and reminders that your three year old is not actually plotting to drive you mad.

Facebook -Making it impossible to ever be bored again. It's a highlight of my day to get my friends status updates.  You people are funny.

Once - The tiny, Irish music film that melted icy hearts with beautiful music and real human emotion.

Greek Tragedy -Stephanie Klein is more honest than I could ever be and sometimes I hate her for it.  And then she'll write about clean socks and white burgundy and make me think I'm smelling turkey.

Heated Floors -If your feet are warm, then so are you.

Text Messaging -I almost don't have to call anyone on the phone anymore. A brilliant thing for a girl who hates telephone conversations.
