First Faves of 2025

 We’ve rolled into 2025, so far so good, so here are my first Faves!



1) AuroWish Blue Gift Box (Set of 2) I purchased several of these this year, a little pricey, but saved my sanity for wrapping Christmas gifts! I loved them, and with name stickers still on them will be reusing them next year for the same people!

2) Huckleberry App This is an app for logging baby’s feedings, naps, diapers, etc. My daughter Hayley uses it for Andy. She had me download it so when Andy is here I can see when nap time and feedings should be, but my FAVORITE part about it is the “sweet spot” for Andy’s nap. I do not know exactly how it’s calculated, but it works!! When his sweet spot is coming up, we put him down and he goes off to sleep with little to no trouble. He’s not over tired, so he’s not fussy at all. I told my niece, who has a baby girl about a six weeks younger than Andy, and she texted us after Christmas to say that her baby girl slept over 8 hours one night, and 1.5 hours the next day for a nap. I love it!

3) Platinum Pilates I started doing Pilates in September, and I have really been loving it. My daughter Hayley came to a class with me in December, and now she’s loving it!

4) LaRibbons Green Matte Metal Wrapping Paper I love this stuff! It’s thick and I love the sheen. Plus, one roll wrapped a lot of presents! I’ve already ordered some for next Christmas as well as a roll of blue!

Hoping 2025 is a wonderful year for all!

  While I did get some random submissions for Faves this week (Larry’s will never happen), I remained on my own. 1) SHOWKOO Luggage Set  I got this luggage set for my upcoming trip (we leave Sunday) because I need to take the carry on and the duffle with me on the plane. I’m trying this duffle in lieu of my usual backpack. I’m excited about it, and hope it’s still a favorite after the trip! 2) Survivor Season 48  While it wasn’t our favorite season premiere, we LOVE Survivor in this house and we love watching it together! 3) Govee Lights  We recently added a bar in our house and my contractor made this light box and used Govee lights. We already have Govee lights around our TV so I was familiar with them and I love them! They can change colors, be put on a timer, etc., all from my phone. There’s a little glitch with this set, so they are going to be replaced, but they still make me squeal every time I walk into the room. 4) Shut the Box Game  My family, as usual...

  Finally home and settled from our Australia/New Zealand adventure. My Faves this week were awesome for me while traveling! 1) Power Plug Adapter  We have used many different plug adapters while traveling, but these were the best we have used! With one adapter we were able to charge everything and I could even curl my hair, ha, ha! Highly recommend! These were compatible in Australia/New Zealand, so I’m hopeful to find some for our next travel adventure, 2) Rothy’s Sneakers  I may have posted these before, but I love love love them when traveling. I own two pair and took them both with me.  3) One Step Behind by Lauren North  I listened to this book (and two others) while on this trip. I had never listened to a book by this author, and I really enjoyed the book. Unique plot for sure. 4) Coach Sling Bag  This might be my favorite of all Faves! I purchased this specifically for my trip to wear on tours/excursions, and I loved it! It has two zippered compartm...

Friday Faves Cabo Edition

Today I’m in Cabo, traveling with my little Andy for the first time. Doing my Faves while he naps.   1) The Business Trip by Jessie Garcia  I’m not even sure how I found this book, and it seems to be the first one she’s written, but it was SO good! I listened to it and there was a full cast of narrators so it was like a performance. Loved the ending! Thought I had it figured out but I was wrong. 2) happyhappyhouseplant on IG  This is my current favorite account on IG. Her name is Mandi Gubler and she is awesome! I literally do not have one live plant in my house, but I’m obsessed with her and almost feel like I could try one! What I like best about her is that her IG stories aren’t long, and she’s very informative and encouraging. Some people I follow go on and on and tell you every minute of their day. I don’t take the time to listen to those people anymore. Highly recommend @happyhappyhouseplant on IG! 3) Apple Watchband from Quince  I love this silver watchband. I...
