Amber's Faaaaaaaavorite Thiiiiiiiiiiiiings

I have been wanting to do this since Oprah's show but just have found it hard to find the time. I am similar to Oprah in that I also like things. Over the years I have discovered that when I like something, I love it and cant get enough. So this list should really be called Amber's Obsessive List, but Amber's Faaaaaavvvorite Thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiings sounds better (when I say it). So welcome to that hottest ticket of the season people, sit back and enjoy the show
First off, go get this book!


Safely Home by Randy Alcorn will rock your world. It was recommended to me by my brother Adam and it is awesome. It is about the persecution of Christians in China and about what God is doing. My relationship with the Lord has changed after reading this. It is a powerful story and I encourage everyone to read it.

My Lulus


I wear these pants 8 days a week. They are great for travel, working out, watching TV and dusting. These pants are so comfortable. After getting these pants from Lululemon I hardly ever wear jeans. I wear them so much I am even trying to dress them up so I can look nice in them and not look like I am wearing workout pants. Nobody buys it, but I do. I love these pants!

The Mixer
I do not have this spunky green color, mine is white, but this thing is awesome. I grew up with using my moms and then when we got married we received our very own as a gift. I use mine for everything. I am a huge baker and so it gets used everytime I have a sweet tooth. It is easy to clean and is better than mixing my hand. I use this for baking, mashed potatoes, whipping cream, cooking, everything.

I Shouldn't Be Alive
I am obsessed with this show. It is on animal planet, I dont know when. This show is about real people and real situations that they are in where crazy things happen to them to where you would think they could not make it through, but they do! This show has situations in the desert, the ocean, mountains, snow, heat, rivers, canyons. It has it all. But be careful. When we flew last week to Hawaii I looked at Kevin and said, "I dont think I should watch that show anymore". You may look at traveling a little differently. But then again everyone in the show is going off on an adventure, in the odd season, and without telling anyone. Anyway, this show is such an "edge of your seat" show.
Studs

I got a pair of these studs from my sister in law, Alyssa, as a gift for being in her wedding. I ultimatly won in the long run for getting her but for the sake of this post we will talk about these. I love these earrings. I can wear them to the store or out to dinner with Kevin. These are the first earrings I go to when looking for a pair to wear with an outfit. I love them and thing everyone should have a pair.
Fresh Baked Cookies with Milk

I love me some fresh baked cookies with a big glass of cold milk. I will make cookie dough, roll it into balls and then freeze them so that whenever I want a couple of fresh cookies I can just take out as many as I want, bake them, and enjoy them. Honestly, there are very few desserts that are better than the classic warm chocolate chip cookie. MMMM!



Oh my gosh! The Biggest Loser! I am usually watching this while eating my fresh baked cookies. This show is life changing. Overweight people go on this show in hopes of losing the most weight and becoming the biggest loser. There is a person voted off once a week. By the finale you are emotionally attatched to these people, cheering them on and hoping for the best. There are obstacles, challenges and game playing. Oh it is so good!
Well these are just a couple of the things I love. I know there are more but I cant think of them right now. Maybe I too will have an Amber's Favorite Things Part II.

  1. Making cookie dough and freezing dough balls? GENIUS. People seem to call me on Sunday night around 8 because they know that I've got some freshly baked goodies. This is because I'm a dough-lover. If nobody else is home sometimes I eat the dough and never make the cookies. That's right, when nobody else is home so they don't know what a fatty mcfatfat I am. But pulling a dough ball out of the freezer??!? Now you've got my attention.

  2. Wow. Where do I start!

    1. I am real excited that I "know, know" you bc I could have listed most of these things that you LOVE!

    2. I also love a lot of the same things right now... so perhaps we should do them together.

    3. Your kitchen aid is really getting some good use... I made your pound cake recipe last night-- totally a hit. Also struggled and failed to get mine out of the pan.

    4. Honored to get a shout out. And so glad you love the earrings.

    5. Biggest Loser... don't get me started. You know how I feel. I think we should bet on who will win?! Thoughts?
