Today is a little different than normal. We may have a few extra friends stopping by to say “Hello” at My Favorite Everything because today is…My SITS Featured Blogger Day!
For those that have no idea what that means, SITS is a ridiculously, crazy supportive group that introduces you to other fabulously fun blogs, and today is the day for My Favorite Everything’s introduction! Talk about a Favorite Day! Thank you Heather & Tiffany!
I’m going to keep this short & simple I hope (if you know me, you know I don’t do well at short & simple)…If you want a longer story as to where this blog came from, check this page out).
8 weeks ago our house was filled with Love, Happiness and Good Fortune for a fun dinner party
(A few easy tips we used)
7 weeks ago, 2 of my daughters, Addie 2 years and Hayden 1 year, celebrated their birthdays,
Sock Hop Style!
2 weeks later, we had our third baby girl, Piper!
(Need to know what to pack for the hospital?)
And yes, I’ve been pregnant for 3 years straight.
(Well now, that’s a lie. I had 2 mos off before our 2nd, and 3 mos off before our 3rd…)
4 weeks ago I picked up where I left off prior to Piper…people said I was crazy, but is there much of a choice? Your third pregnancy is much different than your first. There isn’t exactly the option to just relax & recover while you adjust when you have a family, work, a new baby and a blog that all require your undivided attention. So I jumped back in the game!
All my life people have asked me for recommendations for My Favorite Things.
Things like…
Trader Joe’s Obsessions
(Completely gaga for this dip! More Faves in the TJ Gallery…)
Our Family Photographer
(Sandy Heit is beyond FABULOUS)
How to do Sexy, Smoky Party Eyes
(Love the peeps at Holiday Salon)
Best Tableware, what do I use?
(Juliska ROCKS! Honestly this coffee cup should be in the Hall of Fame!)
Yummiest Blueberry Pancakes
(Throw out all other recipes!)
Swim Lessons for my Littles
(Dan is a master and will go anywhere)
How to look put together, when you don’t feel it
(Great trick for a quick mani in under a minute!)
And when I’m not feeling like Goldie Hawn in Overboard
Truly the list could go on forever. And I love to share. I love to share a resource, a contact, a tip, a recipe. I figure that there are lots of moms out there that are living mind numbing, crazy lives (to borrow a phrase from a friend), and if I’ve found away to make my day run a little smoother, or be a little more organized, or I’ve found something that I just can’t live without, then I want to share it.
So that is what this site does.
Enjoy your visit, I hope you find a few new favorites to share with your family! Would love to have you join us on Facebook or Twitter or sign up for the RSS Feed or Daily Emails – it’s always entertaining!
P.S. Shameless Plug – But if you find a favorite or 2 today, I would love your help at Top Mommy Blogs! We used to be in the top 10 for months! But lost our ranking when I had the baby, and couldn’t be online as much, and they reset their votes…so I would love your help! Your click on this link, and the next pages, is your vote. Thanks so much!
Congratulations on your day to shine – HAPPY SITS DAY TO YOU!
This post was wonderful, I really enjoyed it. Your family is beautiful.
Went to Trader Joe’s yesterday so I have to wait to get your favorites :(
Maybe I need to go back today! Thanks for the nail shine idea too.

I think you have a new follower! :) I just recently started up a blog, just for the heck of it, to review whatever I felt like reviewing. I hadn’t really posted, cause I was doubting the sanity of reviewing anything/everything. Now that I’ve seen your blog, I’m re-inspired to follow through with it. Thank you!!!

Both of my daughters were born in the same month (January), but they are exactly 6 years and 1 week apart. Didn’t really plan it that way, but that’s how it turned out.
Happy SITS Day!

What a beautifully designed blog! I have to admit, I’m feeling a bit inadequte — I had 3 children in 25 months, and certainly didn’t get half as much accomplished as you do! I LOVE the sock hop party! What a sweet idea!

Congrats on a beautiful and fun blog! Love that SITS shared it with me, so that I can enjoy (and can I say how at-home I felt when I clicked over and saw Pippi’s mischievous, sideways grin as illustrated by the fantastic Lauren Child? I have that book! And then you mentioned Trader Joe’s, so, you know, I’m hooked…).
