Friday Favorites

I am notorious for labeling things as "the best thing EVER!!"  What can I say, I know what I like and when I like something I think everyone should experience it as well. When the darling Miss Betsy from Life Styled Simply announced she would be doing her "Favorite Things Friday" as a link party I thought it was the perfect opportunity to join in the fun and proclaim my love for my current obsessions.

Let's face it, our house is not exactly warm, during a particularly cold snap in December our house wouldn't get much "warmer" than 58* (if you can even consider that warm).  Dusty's sweet Mom and Dad took pity on us and delivered our Christmas present early in the form of a king sized one of these puppies.  I was skeptical at first as I'm a pillow flipper always seeking the cool spot, however within minutes of putting this on the bed and letting it warm up I was totally converted, it is soooo cozy.  There may have been a few mornings where I begrudgingly got out of bed to send the boys off to school and then slipped back into bed with Cooper to read and stay warm.

Most of this week has been absolutely gorgeous outside, even warming up to 60* one day.  February is such a tease this way, it is sure to snow sometime in the next week just to teach me not to get too used to it.  On said 60 degree day I couldn't get outside fast enough.  I bought garlic in the fall but never planted it, I finally decided it was better late than never and I just needed to pick a spot and get it in the ground.  I have a lovely triangle of dirt that is to become my garden, I planted my 2 garlic bulbs and began planning for spring planting.  That evening I put all of my dimensions into this handy program and it mapped my entire garden for me, it also recommended companion plants and told me what conditions certain plants need, for an over planner like me it is perfect.

3.  Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery  (affiliate link)

Seriously, how have I missed this my entire life?  I received the book for Christmas a few years ago and just finally picked it up to read.  I remember my Mama and Grandma urging me to read it when I was young but I never did.  I was enchanted with the sweet story of Anne Shirley and found myself smiling throughout the entire book.  I am looking forward to catching up with Anne again soon in the second book, Anne of Avonlea.

Tell me, what have YOU been obsessing over lately?
