I love to love Hallmark Fresh Ink and RED cards! I love sending cards in the mail! I think it’s a special treat to send and receive mail in today’s world of text, email, and Facebook. What’s better than going to your mailbox and finding a greeting card addressed to you?! What I love about the Fresh Ink line and RED line is they’re modern, well designed, and simply stated. They have a card for every occasion, and I always find just what I am looking for. Also, the RED line supports the Global Fund that helps fight AIDS in Africa-very cool. Today I was in Hallmark buying a card and found out the TRAGIC news that both of these lines are discontinued already or are on their way out. Fresh Ink cards have been discontinued for TWO years! Where have I been?!?! So basically any Fresh Ink cards you find are the last available that they have in stock. Looks like I am going to need to start stock piling!!!! I guess the same thing is about to happen to the RED line! So heads up everybody, grab the Fresh Ink and RED cards while you can!!!!!!!

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!

In the spirit of travel week……I love to love my Travelpro Luggage! I have owned alot of luggage in my life. This by far is the very best luggage I have ever owned! Jason’s dad got me hooked on this line. He used to travel all the time, domestic and international trips. His luggage had alot of miles on it, but always looked great. During one of his trips, his luggage got damaged. He mailed it back to the company and it was either fixed or completely replaced free of charge. I was like what kind of luggage company does that? Well, Travelpro does. The warranty is just one of the reasons that I love this luggage. I also love all of the compartments that our suitcases have and how much the design makes sense. You can put clothes on hangers right into our suitcases, they have a whole way for clothing on hangers to fold in without the clothes getting wrinkled. Also, the suitcases are so sturdy. They roll perfectly every time. We never have problems with the adjustable handle, and the zippers never fail. Overall, I would highly recommend this luggage. It is a little expensive, but if you travel alot, I think well worth the investment.

Oh, I love to love Chicago, IL! I am ashamed to say that I never visited here until AFTER I was married and I have lived in centreal Indiana all my life, rediculous! Along with all the fabulous sights to take in, we are so lucky to have friends and family that live up there that we can see when we visit. Some of my favoirte things in Chicago are of couse the Magnificent Mile, Navy Pier, and ANY Giordano’s! I also love Schaumburg, with Woodfield Mall, IKEA, the Container Store, and the fabulous Strees of Woodfield. Our last trip up to Chicago was to see our great friends Tony and Lisa and their three kids. We met for Giordano’s and then headed to a Cubs game. So fun!

I love to love Minute Maid Low Acid Orange Juice! One thing about me (well, one of many things) is that I really like to have a glass of orange juice every morning when I get up. I have one almost every day. But, not any orang juice; it has to be Minute Maid Low Acid Orange Juice. Normal orange juice is a little too acidic for me. I prefer the smoother taste of Minuet Maid Low Acid. Another perk to this OJ is that it is pulp free! No pesky pulp for me!

I love to love to Marsh Supermarket! We don’t have a Fresh Market or Whole Foods up here in Kokomo, so Marsh is about at glamorous as you are going to get. But I don’t mind, I love Marsh. It reminds me of my childhood. It’s where my mom used to shop. I love my Marsh. It’s newer and big, it has a great pharamacy (run by women-I love that) and it has close to my house. I shop at Wal-Mart for all the essentials but I always head over to Marsh for my meat and produce. You can’t beat it. It is more expensive, but so much better quality. And if shop the sales, you can get some good deals (thanks Noochymama)! Happy shopping!

I love to love Green Bags! These cool grocery bags are all over the place now. Lots of companies are making versions of reusable grocery bags, I happen to own the ones made above from greenbag.info. Here in Kokomo, I bought them for about a buck each at Marsh. I use them all the time, for groceries and for carrying things to meetings, transporting library books, ect. They are very durable and help to make a difference for our environment. Plastic bags are terrible for our planet. They take hundreds, that’s right hundreds of years to decompose, they contribute to filling up our land fills, and the factories that produce them emit toxic gases through burning. They also harm animals; 100,000 mammals and turtles are killed by plastic debris each year. But you can make a change. Buy these bags for as very small investment. Take them in when you shop. Say no thank you to plastic. It’s a small step, but think if we all did it?

I love to love the Pottery Barn Catalogue! I really love the actual store and would love to go pick out my house room by room there, but I don’t have an extra $100,000 to decorate my home. Instead, I love to get the catalogue for FREE and get inspiration. What is new lately in the catalgue?….well, looks like color with bold patters is the newest idea. I love to take the ideas in the cataloge and go to target and replicate it for 1/3 of the cost. Don’t get me wrong, if you can afford to get the real thing-more power to you! It’s alot easier to go to the store and get the original; but if you budget is alittle tighter, opt for the catalogue and see what you can find in Target. If you don’t get the cataloge but want to, click here to sign up for it.

This will be the finale to my Love to LOVE It Target week, and appropriately, we will be talking about the fabulous Target end-caps! I have been know on many occasions to head to Target for the sole purpose of checking out what is happening on the end-caps. You know, those little shelves on the end of the aisles that usually hold a whole assortment of clearance goodies. This is a bargain hunters paradise! My best find is an end table/wine rack for $15.00! You never know what you’ll find. Happy shopping!

Oh how I LOVE TO LOVE Target! Let me count the ways…….. There are so many fabulous things about this store I thought I would make each of them a separate love to love it post. Let’s call it a LOVE TO LOVE IT Target week! The first thing I would like to highlight is the Target Dollar Spot! This is not your average dollar store finds, they always have fun-little-can’t live without-goodies. My personal favorite find here is all of the fun “Office” stuff they had this fall. Great Dunder Mifflin post-it notes, and notepads. You can’t beat that people. The dollar spot rocks!
