A Few of My Favorite Things {3}...

My favorite chocolate fix

Nutella

I have seriously gone through {by myself} at least 5 jars of this stuff since the beginning of June. I bought a jar of it at the beginning of summer...thinking it would be okay, but probably not anything special. OH MY! Was I wrong! This stuff is SUPER delicious...though not really the best for my {not nearly small enough} waistline! I just finished off a jar today, and I think I am going to NOT buy another jar for a while! I need to get back on WW big time...which for me means eating a ton of Special K and apples!

My favorite summer t.v. show

Drop Dead Diva

This is a new show that comes on Lifetime. I thought it looked interesting, so I set the DVR to record the first episode a few weeks ago. It is actually pretty good...especially considering it is a Lifetime show and I'm not really a Lifetime kind of girl! This show is helping to fill the t.v. void that the summer has left since everything {and I mean everything} that I like to watch is either in reruns or not even on the air!

My favorite piece of furniture
My china cabinet

I got this china cabinet back in June for my anniversary, but I don't think I ever posted pictures of it! I am still SUPER excited that my wedding china finally has a place {after sitting in the boxes for 7 years}! Just in case you don't remember, Jason and I got this beauty at a Rooms 2 Go Outlet store for less than $400! The only thing wrong with it was a few scratches that a furniture marker took care of easily....and the exact same cabinet was sitting in the regular store with a price tag of $999!

My favorite song
Perfect People by Natalie Grant

Never let 'em see you when you're breaking

Never let 'em see you when you fall

That's how we live and that's how we try

Tell the world you've got it all together

Never let them see what's underneath

Cover it up with a crooked smile

But it only lasts for a little while

[CHORUS:]There's no such thing as perfect people

There's no such thing as a perfect life

So come as you are, broken and scarred

Lift up your heart and be amazed

And be changed by a perfect God

Suddenly it's like a weight is lifted

When you hear the words that you are loved

He knows where you are and where you've been

And you never have to go there again

[CHORUS]

Who lived and died to give new life

To heal our imperfections

So look up and see love.

Let grace be enough

[CHORUS]

By a perfect God [5x]

Be changed by a perfect God

Be changed

What are some of your favorite things?

Big Little Man on Campus!

Henry is officially a Kindergartner!

Jason and I took him to his new school this morning for his very first day of Kindergarten.
Henry and Hayden {Trouble and Double Trouble!}

Our school district does "Kindergarten Discovery Days" for the first three days of the school year, so today he is at school with 8 other classmates. He will not go to school tomorrow....and he will start his first 'normal' day of Kindergarten on Monday.

Henry seemed to be fine, a little nervous, but I kind of expected that from him. No tears were shed, so I think we did pretty good! We are really excited about his teacher {she has some awesome qualifications} and his new class! And I am SUPER excited that Henry already knows some the kids {at least 5 from church and preschool} and I know some of the moms {field trips are way more fun if you have someone you like to talk to}!

I'm a little nervous about pick up....only because it is new and I don't want to do something wrong. I think I can handle it though! Hopefully Henry is having a great day and will have a great Kindergarten year!
