My grandfather worked on The Sound of Music movie as a film colorist, so the classic feel-good feature holds a special place in my heart and the heart of my children. Actually, who doesn’t love The Sound of Music?
I have been getting many comments and questions on Social Media asking for products I love and endorse. I thought it would be fun to name this post A Few of My Favorite Things after the song in The Sound of Music and I have even included a smashing white dress! (Minus, the blue satin sashes.)
Come on now, let’s sing together, here are…
A Few Of My Favorite Things
FAITH
Three cheers for Melanie Redd’s new book Live in Light: 5-Minute Devotions for Teen Girls! Live In Light is every girl’s guide to tackling their teenage years with the wisdom and comfort of the Bible. From navigating the pressure to be “perfect” on social media to dating and dealing with frenemies, these 5-minute devotionals help you to become the woman that both you and God want you to be.
FAMILY
I challenged my kids to pick a board game that they loved when they were kids and still love today. Clue won with Sorry in a close second. When everyone is available, Friday night is still Family Game Night, with one exception, my husband I no longer participate. It’s just our kids’ ages 28-18!
HEALTH
One of the best investments I have made! I love my Bubba! I have had this Vacuum-Insulated Stainless Steel Straw Tumbler, 24 oz mug for several years. It makes it easier to keep track of my daily water intake. I find that I keep hydrated much better when using a straw.
HOME
It’s not the first time you have seen sheets from California Design Den here on The Peaceful Haven. These sheets are 100% long staple pure cotton – sateen weave and are imported from an ethically-certified factory in India. Did I mention how soft they are? I use these sheets on my own bed, they have worn well and have gotten even softer with every wash! Head over to my Instagram to have a chance to win these comfy sheets this Mother’s Day!!!
BEAUTY
My very favorite anti-aging eye cream ever! This thing works! Clinically tested doTERRA Anti-Aging Eye Cream targets the signs of aging around the delicate eye area, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles from first use and over time. I also find it helpful to apply first thing in the morning to reduce a puffy face!
FASHION
This lovely white Judith dress by Boden is utterly charming! Boden has long been a family favorite, we have dresses, blouses, bathing suits all from the trendy British Company. I like them for a variety of reasons. They are not part of the fast fashion industry, they have modest fashion choices, the company employs a strict fair trade, ethically and sustainably sourced policy. Yeah, Boden!
GARDEN
I love this Chicago Hardy Fig Tree with Fruit! This plant does not come in the beautiful terracotta pot and it is not this size. I’m dreaming of fresh figs this Summer!
FOOD
Yes, I am addicted to these crackers by Simple Mills!!! The Farmhouse Cheddar is my favorite! Amazon is the cheapest place to get these three flavors of crackers, but for the Fine Ground Sea Salt Cracker, you can get the large box for half the price! Regrettably, Costco only carries the one flavor.
ENJOY!
Blessings,
