I attended a "Time Out for Women" conference recently and Hilary Weeks did a very funny rendition of "Favorite Things" from Sound of Music with a parenting twist. Anyway, it inspired me to write a version of my own.
Before I begin, I'd like to thank all the little people, like Julie Andrews for the original version. My mom, for singing it to me at night when I was scared. My kids, for asking to have it sung to them, thus passing on the tradition. Oprah, because I love her Favorite Things show...you get the idea. So, without further ado, here are a "Few of my Favorite Things".
Summer and good books and chocolate and road trips.
Porch swings and hiking and Graeter's ice cream.
Nights full of thunder, the smell of the rain
Camping and planning don't make me complain.
When it's cold out, when I'm hungry.
When I'm feeling sad, I dance with the kids or
have dinner with friends and then I don't
feel so bad.
Fireflies and girl's night and walks in the woods.
A date with my husband sure makes me feel good.
A laugh from Savanna and Liam's smile.
Jackson's inventions and Luke's crazy style.
When I'm tired, stressed or cranky
When I'm feeling sad.
I chat on the phone, have a hot chocolate fix,
and then I don't feeeeeel sooo bad!!!
I hope that wasn't too awful. So, what would you put on your favorite things list?
