I'm so excited for today, but a little sad too. Today is my last day at MOPs for the year. I was so blessed to be able to be a part of this group. MOPs is Mothers of Preschoolers that offers childcare from birth - K. They have been a wonderful support group of the "me too" issues of being a parent.
For the year end get-together, it's SPA DAY and FAVORITE THINGS. Each of us will bring one of our favorite things to share with the women at our table. I had a few weeks to plan for this day and I had a terrible time thinking of what I could share and how I could share my favorite thing.
I have a lot of "favorite" things like, The Honest Company. I didn't want to give everyone a sponge or cloth, but it is one of my favorite things. All their cleaning and laundry products are wonderful and natural. They also have an awesome baby line. But I think I love their mouthwash the most. It's refreshing and doesn't burn my mouth. Bean loves to use it too.
Another one of my favorite things is my planner from Erin Condren. I love all organizing things. I would LOVE to work at the Container Store. But I will have to settle for this and it's worth it. Mine has the months April 2014-December 2014. Starting in June the June 2014-December 2015 will be available, but I won't be ordering mine till December or January since I already have the rest of the year. I got the basic planner with no frills. You can add SOOOO much personalization to your planner like photos to put on people's birthdays, pens, pen holder, etc. Every planner comes with a pocket holder and a sealed pocket. They're so fun and vibrant and again very customizable. I didn't want to give out mini planners since I knew most of us already had one.

So while sitting at Mountain Grounds Coffee, it hit me! THIS is my favorite thing! And how I knew it was my perfect "favorite thing" was that I want to sell my things to earn coffee money!!! Crazy right?! But I LOVE IT!! Melinda and Nathan are the new owners of the shop. At the end of August, it will be their one year anniversary. This is my go to place. I love the atmosphere and their coffee. They have a nice area in the back for the kids to play, along with a mini kids area. Melinda has created a comfy atmosphere for everyone. You can reserve the shop for meetings and parties, too. I wish I could've bought everyone at my table a coffee, but instead I'm passing on their information to share one of my favorite things to help support a local business (which is another of my favorite things -- buying local as much as possible). Coffee dates with friends is ALWAYS an option!
What are some of your favorite things?
