favorite things

i am so blessed to be part of an amazing group of eight women. we call our group Live Laugh & Love and we almost always add another "L" for Lounge. we try to get together once a month and we always have the best time. i love these women dearly! i always leave with a full belly and a full cup.

five years ago, we started our own version of oprah's favorite things. heck, if we couldn't be part of her show, we would just do it ourselves!!! we have a limit of $15 and we try to bring something to the group that has saved us (our family, marriage - ha!) in some way during the year or has just made us darn right happy! we have had everything from new laundry detergent to microwave covers!

here is a pic of all the loot. we seriously rake it in for each other!!! it literally is the 'most wonderful time of the year'! i love you, LLLL ladies!
