These Are a Few of My Favorite Things (and you could win)

Since I am as famous and well adored like my good friend Oprah, I decided I should do my own installment of "Oprah's Favorite Things"...'cept this time it will be "Laura's Favorite Things"...see how this works? Good. I decided to add a little sparkle to blog spot and make it possible for my readers to win! That's right folks...you have a chance to win "Laura's Favorite Things"!!!(and the crowd goes wild...people jumping up and down like maniacs and even some of the women are outright weeping...no sobbing uncontrollably!)

Okay...so I just wanted to do something a little different and fun. I am going to post some of my favorite things. If you want to participate you comment to me on this post that you want a chance to win. After I feel like enough time has passed and I have some names, I will then put all the names in a hat and draw one or two out(depending on participation) and the I will send the name/s either one or a sampling of my favorite things(so tell me which is your favorite!) This is not like junior high, I will NOT just pick the person I like the best and send them a prize...everyone has a fair shot! BUT here is the catch! If you win then you have to do a post of your favorite things and send out prizes...and so on and so forth. So say Susie, Bill, Tom, and Tina all put their names on my blog...but I only draw Bill's name...then Susie, Tom, and Tina can go to Bill's post and try and win again! I think it will be fun! So let the games being!


I adore Willow Tree Figurines! I currently have about 10 of them. These are 2 of my favorites. I love the Christmas Tree ornaments too! If all else fails and someone can't think of a gift for me...Willow Tree will get me every time!


I really love my lace trimmed camis. I know they are all the rage and everyone has been wearing them for a while...but I just barely caught up and have only had a couple for a month now. I love that they can dress up a very simple outfit and add some flare. I also love the extra long coverage...I love when other girls where them too because then that eliminates me having to see butt cleavage, thongs, and love handles...all of which should be kept inside closed doors! I don't have any of the cap sleeves...but I liked the look of 'em.



I don't need these anymore, but they are still one of my favorite baby items and will definitely be used with the next baby. This is a Teething Feeder and if you haven't ever seen it before...it is a mesh bag and you stick a piece of fruit, or veggie, meat, or even ice or Popsicles (though I only ever used fruit.) I loved being able to give Carter fresh fruit and let him just gnaw away at it. He LOVED it! Yes...fruit juice runs all down the front of him...but it relieved his gums, gave him nutrition, kept him from choking, and was yummy all at the same time! Some of his favorites were Mango, Bananas, and Peaches.

I still love Bath and Body Works...after all this time:)
I especially love the wallflowers that make my house smell so nice and the hand soap!
I love good smellin' soap! I also love the body cream and sprays! The wallflowers make great gifts and door prizes!(as does any B&B item)

Netflix was made for people like me. I cannot ever get my movies back on time. Solution? Netflix...no late fees and the hugest assortment! I like getting TV shows since I don't have any channels. Then I watch them at my own pace..stick them back in the mailbox and in usually 2 days I have some more waiting for me! How nice. (the only good mail I get)


Floss Sticks. Why anyone uses the old fashioned stuff still is beyond me!
So simple, quick, easy, and lasts a really long time!It is easy to get to the hard to reach spots without trying to stick your whole fist in your mouth!.. Electric toothbrushes. Easy and gets my teeth cleaner. Also nice for Carter...it does the spinning action so I feel like Carter's teeth are getting cleaner because every second counts-- he starts to throw a fit if I am in there too long!


Mypublisher.com I made a book of Carter's first 6 months on here and it turned out awesome! Now I need to get caught up and do another one. There are many websites out there...snapfish, myheritage, etc. to try. Way easier and cheaper than scrap booking!

And Last But Not Least...Mega Magnetix! Carter and I had to spend quite a few hours in a hotel room so I needed something new and entertaining for him. So we went to Target and I looked up and down the toy aisle and nothing caught my eye...until I saw these. Good Choice on my part! Carter loved them and he played with these until it was time for him to go to bed...in fact him loved them so much that at 3 in the morning he woke up and started playing again(maybe not such a good choice;) They are a jumbo version of the small magnetix sets and perfect for toddler's hands(and way too big to choke on) He learned about the magnetic forces and that one end attracts and the other repels. He also likes to stick them on our doors and fridge at home. Lots of fun!....but it was hard to spend the 20.00 on the starter set, they are a little pricey...but well worth it in my book!


This was so much fun for me! I will definitely be doing this again!

Now...if you want to participate(I am being for real here!) Leave me a comment! Then in a week or so you might win!! I will post a blog with the winner/s and let you know what exactly the prize will be!

Hope you have fun too!

Oh...and you DO NOT have to know me well or know me at all!...that is the fun of this game...any can play! Just leave me a comment!
