I love to LOVE the GAP!  It’s hands down my favorite place to shop!  I just love everything that they make!  You can’t beat one of their “Favorite Ts” or a great GAP turtle neck sweater !  My husband Jason loves to shop here too.  From dressy to casual-they have the best!  It’s totally my style!  I just wish one was closer than an hour away!

I love to love my new 18.0 Volt Cordless Broom Hard Surface Sweeper!  I used to think these were for people over 65 but, I tried one at a friends house and loved it!  It makes quick work of getting all the leaves off of our deck and driveway and sure beats sweeping.  Plus, it’s cordless, so no wrangling with a cord!  It’s a nice luxury to have-especially in the fall!

I love to love Real Simple Magazine!  What  a treat when it comes in the mail!  It never dissapoints!  It’s always full of great tips, easy recipes, fun gift ideas, and affordable fashion trends.  My favorite articles are always about organizing!  I just got my November issue and it’s huge!  Can’t wait to dive in!

I love to love my 12 days of Christmas apron from Willams-Sonoma!  Every year the women in my family get together to do a little (or a lot) of Christmas shopping.  We do a dinner or a lunch and exchange some gifts.  It’s such a fun holiday tradition that I look forward to all year long.  This year my cousin Leslie gave me this cute apron.  It has images from the song “The 12 Days of Christmas.”  I love aprons, but I never had one for Christmas, now I do!  I especially love the girly ruffles at the bottom!

I LOVE TO LOVE COMPASSION INTERNATIONAL!  Jason and I first got involved with Compassion the summer of 2006.  We sponsor a beautiful little girl from Kenya named Priscah Anwinja.  She’s 8 years old.  She likes playing ball, and helping her mother with chores.  She has 2 siblings.  We send $32.00 a month (the cost of a dinner out) to help make a difference in her life.  This money helps to send her to school, to pay for medical expenses, and provides a meal if needed.  Most importantly, it allows her the ability to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ and find an eternal hope that far outlasts this world.  It is one of the great joys of our life to be able to be even a small influence on Priscah’s life.  We have exchanged several letters over the past few years and have been able to form a precious friendship.  We have had a totally positive experience with Compassion, and feel that they are good stewards of our monthly gift.  

There are so many more children just like Priscah that need sponsors.  Please visit www.compassion.com and sponsor a child today.

I love to LOVE my Express jeans!  I wear their Eva jeans, and they’re the best!  I love the shape, and they fit me great.  They also hold up over time.  I got a great deal yesterday at Express….their jeans are normally $59.99, I got them for $39.99 and then another for 1/2 off ($19.99!).  So I got 2 pair of jeans for $60.00, basically by one get one free!  Can’t beat that!  I love new jeans that fit me!  What kind do you buy?

I love to LOVE my Barefoot Dreams robe!  It’s fabulous!  Oprah highlighted this on her “Favorite Things Shows” a few years back; and my aunt bought them for all the women in my family.  This is one the best gifts I have ever received!  One of my favorite things to do, is to wrap up in this unbelievably soft robe and a cup a tea and enjoy a classic chick flick!  It doesn’t get much better than that!

I love to love RED products!  This is one of the coolest ways to shop wisely!  Several retailers are participating in this campaign, but my favorite retailer participating is GAP.  When you purchase clothing in GAP’s red line a protion of the profits (I think around 50%) goes to the Global Fund to help fight AIDS.  The clothes are awesome and you give to a good cause everytime you buy, now that is really something to LOVE!
