Friday Faves

I had a post all typed up and ready to go for today I just needed to add pictures, then I realized I have no idea where that little cord thingy is that connects our camera to our computer. No cord = no pictures. Boo :(

So instead, here’s a random list of some of my new favorite things lately:

Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate

I’m trying not to drink much caffeine since it seems to bother little Miss Sophia when I do so I tried this at Starbucks the other day and ohmygoodness.  So yummy! I think I even prefer it to the Pumpkin Spice *gasp!* I’ve decided I must try to replicate this at home. Anyone know of any good copycat recipes they’d like to share with me?

Extra Mint Chocolate Chip Gum

It’s like chewing a bowl of mint chocolate chip ice cream. Need I say more?

The Nate Berkus Show

I’ve actually only watched this once, but I thought it was really fun. I especially loved this clip where he shows some inexpensive ways to decorate your walls. The ladder as a bookshelf? Genius!

Ballard Designs

I just got my new Christmas catalog and they have so many fun things:

I looove these stockings – and those adorable present stocking holders! We do actually need some stockings…but I’m not paying $25 a piece for them! Maybe I could try to make some like it?

And seriously how cute are these pillows?

But they cost $75 each…um…they’re not that cute.

That’s why I just use their catalog as inspiration. But it really got me excited about decorating for Christmas!

So what are some of your favorite things lately?
