One of my favorite blogs, Tip Junkie is running a 10 favorite things in your house challenge… I thought I would participate since I already have most of my fave things on my computer. So here goes in random order…
My Southern Living Two Tier Tray!!! I LOVE THIS and use it all the time. It cost a lot for my standards, but I get so much use out of it. Here you see it all dolled up for a cookie exchange a few years ago. I keep it out in my kitchen on the island all the time. It has held many a cupcake, appetizer, and cookie.
I always wanted a storybook theme since I love Children’s Literature and I came up with the idea of having various scenes from my favorite children’s books throughout the room with the famous Dr. Seuss quote above the crib reading; “The more that you read,the more you will know,The more you learn,the more places you’ll go.” If you want to see more of the room, I have the pictures here.
#6. The Old Irish Pub Sign I bought my hubby. Funny, we hardly ever use the bar for what it is for. I think we have had like three parties down there in the six years we have lived here. Still the sign is so cute & IRISH like us!!!
#7. My Tassimo – It’s like my own Starbucks in my house!!!! If you don’t have one… you are missing out!
#8. My shelves in the playroom. All neat and clearly marked. I love seeing organized things and just looking at how every toy has a place makes my heart happy.
#9. My Linen Closet – Sometimes I keep the door open just so I can see how neat it is. I love containers and how they make a closet look clean and keep it organized. It’s just makes life easier. Sorry, I am a bit of a dork, I know!!!
#10. My entrance way. I love walking into my home and getting that feeling of this is mine and this is where I belong. This is the first thing I see when I walk into my house. There is no place like MY home!!!
If you made it this far…. thanks! I would love to see your favorite 10 things in your home. Hop over to Tip Junkie and post your blog! 
Oh I want a 2 tier tray. I love organization too! It makes me so happy. I don’t have the toys all in containers though. I know I’d love it to be that way. But, I do have learning toys on designated shelves and toys for fun in different bins like “dramatic play”, “manipulatives” and so on.
You have lots of great personal touches in your home. I also have the 2 tier tray & love it. It has a permanent place in my kitchen and hold my M&Ms; jar and tomatoes – random mix.
