Personal Faves

Before I start raving about our wedding photographer, Jeremy Bustos of Studio This is, I have to give a shout out to my friend Caitlin.  She has taken our Christmas photo the last two years and has captured some great moments with my little guy.  Caitlin still has a full-time job teaching though and, I [...]

Hear Ye, Hear Ye: I have two announcements to make.  1) David and I are going to have our second baby!  Due date is March 24 and we couldn’t be happier.  2) I love my new Boscia exfoliating mask.  These announcements are definitely related.  [my loyal blog readers are the first to receive the online [...]

Dear visitors from ThingsIBoughtThatILove.com: No, the site has not been hijacked, Mindy let the domain name expire and we bought it in an auction at Godaddy.com.  We’ve pointed it to our site for now. We understand our blog probably won’t be as good as Mindy’s, but we’re hoping something is better than nothing. We were [...]

I am a little starstruck that Diary of a New Mom author, Abby/ Mom2Miles, asked me to participate in this blog-chain-mail thing.  I was so excited to see Personal Faves on her post that I forwarded it to my  husband and called my mom.  You guys know how much I enjoy reading Diary of a [...]

Merry Christmas, Season’s Greetings, and Happy New Year!  I am beat, stuffed, and happy… the sign of a good holiday.  David did really well in the gift-giving department this year so maybe in the next couple weeks I’ll be blogging about my newest personal faves.  For now, I want to thank my friend Caitlin for [...]

One of the best things about entering the world of blogging is, well, other people’s blogs!  I never really knew this community existed before I started Personal Faves.  Sure, I would browse Perez Hilton’s site from time to time but that was the extent of my adventures in blogging.  While I’ve been slacking on my [...]

Brussel Sprouts.  Yuck, right?  Bzzzzz…WRONG ANSWER.  These miniature-cabbage-like bundles of bliss are one of Sarah’s and my new favorite veggies.  Something about the layers of these normally quite bland tasting little delights really works with more rich foods like, say bacon (mmmm, bacon).  They’re also super healthy (a good thing, especially when your flavor is [...]

So it’s getting cold = bummer.  Hot tasty casserole that’s quick and easy when it’s cold = personal fave.  This turkey noodle casserole recipe is taken from Cooking Light: Light and Easy (same cookbook that produced the really tasty pepper and feta pizza I posted awhile back.) Prep time: 15 minutes                         Cook time: 42 minutes [...]

A big apology to my loyal readers (all 5 of you ) It has been TOO long since my last post.  For those of you who don’t know me I just returned to work after 7 months of maternity leave.  Boy was that a rude awakening!!  My personal fave these days has been sitting on [...]

Libby here again…I just went to Bath and Body Works and bought some of my fave lipgloss so I thought I’d share with you so you know what to get next time! First of all, those that know me know I am a lipgloss connaisseur – I am obsessed (literally probably have about 20 of [...]
