Some of my favorite things right now.....

Now that it's fall and winter is around the corner, my hobbies are more of the indoor, hibernating kind. I love this time of year! So, as one of my favorite actresses Julie Andrews sang, "..these are a few of my favorite things!
I'm a total GEEK for the Broadway show, "Wicked!" As much as I've been listening to the soundtrack w/the original Broadway cast you would think I was sick of it. I'm not; I love it more and more everytime I listen to it! If you love musicals/Broadway and you haven't checked it out yet, I URGE you to check it out.

I have Netflix (LOVE it!) and I just started watching "Pushing Daisies." The perfect way to describe it is that it's a mix of Edward Scissorhands and Dr. Seuss flavors. Very fun and clever! Check it out if you need a good laugh.

Klint and I LOVE fall! The colors, the air, everything! We tried our best to take cute family pictures and although they aren't traditional, I love them! Here are a few of our favorites from our little photo shoot last month...






It's official. Halloween is our family's favorite holiday. We had such a fun time this Halloween! It was raining cats and dogs, too! This was the first year Jaakson wanted to stay out later to go door-to-door! He was a trooper! They all looked so cute. And by "they" I also mean Klint. Klint LOVES Halloween.




I love candles. My sister brought SoHo Living candles to my attention. Vanilla Flower and Vanilla Truffle are amazing! AND they last forever...

Reading! What would I do without reading late into the night?! It's the only time it's quiet and I get my "Me" time. I finished a few easy read my Mom lent to me but now I have nothing left! Suggestions please! The last good novel I read was "Rebekah" from the Women of Genesis series and "Enchantment," both by Orson Scott Card.

Amish Friendship Bread. Amazing!!! I finally got a starter bag from my friend a month ago and begged my sister to give me one of her starter bags. It's that good! Here's a link to a good recipe for the starter: http://www.food.com/recipe/amish-friendship-bread-and-starter-153 *NOTE: instead of a bowl, use Ziploc gallon bags! Stick to the 10 days!!! It's worth it!

Bigfishgames.com. I'm a TOTAL PC nerd during this time of year. I'm borderline Hermit. This site has fun, cheap games that range from easy to challenging. PLUS, you can play any game for an hour before you buy it. This is another thing I do if I don't have a good book to read at the end of the day.

Oh! How Fall, how I love thee! I could go on and on but I'll spare you. What are you looking forward to this fall/winter?
