At first I was stumped on what would go into my favorite things giveaway. But I went shopping and quickly found the things that make me happy. Some items are itty bitty and some are bigger. I had fun picking out a few of my favorite things at the Queen Bee Market too!
LEFT: One of my favorite books- The Fault In Our Stars by John Green- I fell in love with the characters in this book. It was a really quick but fun read. Note: it is centered around a storyline of cancer. Reading and summer go hand in hand to me! | the Queen Bee Market tote- lightweight and cute, perfect for a beach or pool trip. Or to put library books in too! | Dear John- one of my favorite movies. Anything with Channing Tatum in it gets an ‘A’ from me. And I love the soundtrack. | the perfect pens because you can never have too many, right?
RIGHT: Thick, reusable, washable straws will make any summer drink fun | the perfect water glass- a bigger mug with a cute top and straw | Zoku popsicle maker- I was skeptical with this one but got it to try out for my family. We love it! Any flavor popsicle in 7 mins. | Take5 bar- I don’t normally like chocolate but love the crunch and caramel of Take5’s. | LeCreuset rubber scraper – the perfect tool in the kitchen for mixing and stirring
LEFT: Medium sized v-neck from the Printed Palette (if you’re not a size medium it would make a great gift!) | cute travel make up bag | Goody rubber bands | Conair 1 1/4″ curling iron – makes great big curls | Gold hoop earrings from World Market | Maybelline Falsies Mascara | Pink Grapefruit soap from Karol’s Handmade Soap
RIGHT: Up close peak at one of my favorite Mi Bazaar Latino bracelets. I stood at Claudia’s booth forever trying to pick out the perfect one. This one would go with so many things but is fun too.
I bought every single one of the items listed above. Nothing was sponsored or donated. I genuinely love them all! I hope the lucky winner does too. :)

My favorite thing about summer is that there is no snow between where I live (south of Albuquerque) and where my son lives (west of Laramie WY) so we can travel up to Wyoming to see the three granddaughters! We’ll be going up in early June to take them to Yellowstone National Park for the two older girls (who will be almost 3 and 5) to see the buffalo. The baby will be almost 9 months old
Then , the end of July, my daughter, who lives in San Francisco) will be renting a house near Denver so that her brother, sister in law and the three little girls can drive down and we can drive up and celebrate the summer birthdays (Five birthdays!) and take the little girls to Santa’s Village in Colorado Springs.
I’ll have time with my children and grandchildren. How much more fantastic can summer be – other than winning some prizes to share? A great book for me to read as I recover from playing with little girls, a movie to watch with my daughter and daughter in law while the guys do guy stuff and little girls are napping. Then the girls can wake up to have some frozen treats – which would be great for a teething baby!
