| My favorite scent |
Yankee Candles. Even though they are a bit expensive, they have the best and strongest scents and I just can't find a cheaper candle that has the same quality.

Spring Break from Franciscan!
But Colleen, you're not even in college anymore.
I know, but our babysitter is, and she's home this week, which means my kids can stop counting down the days until her return and Phil and I can have a date!

This coffee with the bad word in it. It's Lent and my mom reads this blog, so you'll have to click to find out the name! I love my coffee like I love my man ~ dark and strong ~ but then I put tons of cream in it!

I prayed and prayed for a daughter, and I sure got like ten daughters rolled up into one cute package!
Go see Hallie and Co for more favorites...
Love- Love- Love- Yankee Candles...and I agree, best candle out there! Love your fave scent...mine is Pumpkin Spice. Ahhh, now I wish it were fall!
ReplyDeleteCouple things
ReplyDelete1) Love me some yankee candles! I generally buy two a year and use them sparingly. And by 'buy' I mean Aaron gets them for me for Christmas or birthday :)
2) Spring break babysitters are the best. I asked our favorite not to go to college so she could sit my boys. Unfortunately, she didn't think that would work.
3) and most important, TOTALLY had a dream that I was at St. Peter's and Cardinal O'Malley was elected. My first response was to get on my phone so I could comment on the blog that you wrote a few days ago. Too involved in the digital world?!?! Maybe.
Have you tried the yankee candle SOY candles??? I love them even more than the regular. They are clean burning and last longer than the regular ones. I find them at Marshall's, TJ maxx or Home goods.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is my drug of choice. AND YES, cream.
I think God gives you what you can handle.....and Maggie is a cute little handful. :)

Thank you for introducing me to Valerie. What a great story of confession and conversion! Always nice to meet another St. Louisan too. I'll have to try Yankee. I've done Partylite (when my sis was a consultant) and White Barn (but those seem to evaporate in a few hours). I love scented candles, esp the fruity or pumpkin flavors.
ReplyDeleteYour little girl couldn't be any cuter! I feel the same way about my Anna.
ReplyDeleteLove yankee candles! I got one for christmas and I ration it's use! Maggie is so adorable!!
ReplyDeleteWow that story!!! And have fun on your date nights!!! :)
ReplyDeleteWoohoo for the babysitter being back! I am going to have to try that coffee.
ReplyDeleteMcIntosh is my FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVIE! I always burn it during the fall! I love candles... I actually gave them up for Lent! And it's been hard!
ReplyDeleteWhat a hilarious name for a coffee brand! Brilliant marketing. I'm convinced I need some now. ;)
