1. You spend a lot of time sleeping, so I'd say down pillows would be #1 plus down comforter is bonus.
2. Sad but true, my computer. No need to explain.
3. We love food in our family, so we need extra storage space for it! My 2ND fridge outside in the garage is a necessity!
4. If you don't have good hair, you don't have anything (unless you have a cute hat on) so my Panteen Pro-V alone with my Hot Tools curling iron and flat iron are vital.
5. With 4 messy kids and an overabundance of hard wood in our house, my Central Vac system is praised on a daily basis. What did I ever do with a broom? AND, you can suck up pennies, small Lego man appendages (or the whole Lego man for that matter), and you don't have to hear it spinning inside a vacuum and then seeing it get spit out again!
6. Kitchen Gadgets. I love them! They make life easier in the kitchen. Of course there is the Kitchen Aid mixer and the Cuisinart food processor-AWESOME! But the little things matter too like the garlic press, micro plane, and my Pampered Chef mini spatula! When I use any of these items, I feel happy inside! If I didn't have them, cooking would soon become drudgery!
7. I have a love/hate for cleaning. I love a clean house more than alot of things. For my birthday this year I thought to myself, "What would be the ideal gift?" Clothes are always really nice, but I can secretly buy them on my own time. No, a clean house was my choice. I asked Kelly to scrub the stove burners-all 6! They were coated with grease and food and I hate cleaning them!!!! Toilets-yuck! Scrubbing miles of floor-no thank you! I need products that will do the job for me! So I like to use Clorox or any brand, of the disinfectant wipes! They do any surface and you just throw them away! Also, the Scotch Brite Toilet scrubbing pads with the cleaner already in the scrubber are perfect! Yes, they cost more, but who likes to think about what is growing in their toilet bowl scrubber that is sitting in that little receptacle beside their toilet? YUCK! I just throw the Scrubber away when I'm done and start fresh the next time! My shower squeegee is also vital to bathroom happiness, along with Soft Scrub with Bleach.
8. So, I am constantly doing laundry like most moms and I truly love my front loaders. I know most women are getting these now but I do not take them for granted considering all the thousands upon thousands of loads I do. I love everything about them and actually love doing laundry because of them (but I hate to put all that laundry away!) I love the hand wash cycle, the sanitary cycle-(think poopy accidents.) I also like the "Add a Garment" option. I have a large capacity so it makes washing comforters a cinch.
9. My electric pencil sharpener. I have simple pleasures that is for sure, but now that school is in again, we have a lot of pencils to sharpen!
10. Wooden hangers. Yes, I have converted from the old wire and plastic to the supreme wood. I love the way it looks in my closet and also the strength it supplies to my coats and heavier items. Kelly had a hard time watching me throw away all those "free" wire hangers from the dry cleaners but he sees the benefits of the wood and is constantly stealing mine.
11. My big desk calender! My life is sitting on the island at all times. I am a list maker and a calender girl. I could never convert to Palm organization. I have to see it all the time and in large print!
12. My books, my outlet, my favorite hobby, my life!!!!! I should have put this one first because I truly believe you can get through any crisis if you have a really good book to read. (Like if someone stole your down pillows!) I love to stand and look at my bookshelf with all MY books lined up neatly and reminisce......ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.
13. Make up. I have a firm belief that you should always curl your eyelashes, no matter how long they are or aren't. I also love Mary Kay oil free moisturizer in the lavender jar, Mac anything but especially their yummy smelling lip gloss and superb eye color, Clinique lash doubling mascara, Prescriptives Virtual Skin Foundation, and Olay total effects foaming cleanser. I also LOVE Clarin's self tanner!!!! I use it year round for extra color that is natural. (Totally worth the money and I am never pasty white!) White is beautiful for some (like Nicole Kidman) but very unattractive for others.
14. My Treadmill. I love to run but rarely get out on the road and I hate running hills. I also don't enjoy running in snow! So my treadmill is my only way to stay in shape and stay indoors! I like to know how many calories and carbs I'm burning and I like to keep track of my pace and incline when I want. I also like the fan option since I hate to be hot! I love to adjust my workout!
15. I put this last because it's a no brainer-CELL PHONE! I love to text Kelly love notes when I know he's having a hard day or in meetings most of the day or out of town. I love to get calls done when I'm sitting at the park or gymnastics etc., watching the kids.
So, there you go. The list that I could certainly add to but won't. What are your favorite, can't live without things?

uh, you forgot one other thing you love: big spaces in between you paragraphs when you blog! :) Just messin with ya...
I'll fix that right away, smart alec! Do you want me to comment on your music selection or other flaws? Didn't think so!
my music selection is flawed?? What?
Rap is cool for young, baggy pant wearing, high school punks but it doesn't become the more "mature" greying type! So maybe you should switch over to Easy Jazz. Just a suggestion...
Loved your list! you've inspired me to make my own. Electric pencil sharpener is definitely something we need! All we have is a really old one like the one we had growing up that doesn't sharpen very well and gets jammed (it came with the house), so I really need to get an electric one!!
Good job on the slide show!! Jenna is so precious. I liked your song "It's Amazing"-fun to listen to while I looked at the pictures!!
