holiday faves

Does anyone know why the song "A Few of My Favorite Things" is classified as a Holiday song? I don't get it but I have heard it on the radio several times. Please someone explain! Whether it is Holiday or not I am going to give you a few of my favorite things right now.

~American Apparel Black Tricot leggings~

{August's duck boots from baby Gap}

These leggings are simply the best. They can dress anything up, and are slimming due to the faint shimmer they give right down your leg. These would be a great gift for the person that has everything, and the best part is they come in about 13 colors!

Okay I know that this isn't for everyone, but I just love these with heels.

~Winter Song by Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson~

Give yourself a little early Christmas present and download this song. Trust me the best 99 cents you will spend this Christmas. If you don't love it I will pay for the download. And if you are feeling even more adventurous download the entire album; The Hotel Cafe Presents Winter Songs.

confessions of a S.A.H.M.

Humor me for a moment...

I have come to love to vacuum. For the only reason that my extremely loud vacuum drowns out EVERYTHING! So the kids can be crazy and screaming and all I have to do to escape the insanity is vacuum my house.

Next- the shopping carts at IKEA give me a great love handle workout, thanks to the wheels that turn in all directions. Trying to wrangle to cart at every turn used to drive me crazy, but now I just go with it and get a solid workout while I shop.

Lastly- I am trying my hand at Homemade Laundry soap. I want to know who has tried it, what works, what didn't, what they liked and what they didn't.

p.s I promise halloween pics are coming!
