FAVORITE THINGS: The Essence of Home





Welcome to the second edition of Favorite Things,
where guest bloggers share, well, their favorite things!

Today, my guest blogger is Kelly, from The Essence of Home.
 Kelly writes mostly about her elegant, yet relaxed, 
cottage-style-inspired home in the south.
Her blog was one of the first I ever read,
and I remember being absolutely smitten with her beautiful front porch.

In addition to writing about her always-changing decor, 
Kelly also shares snippets of her life family's southern lifestyle.

Without further ado...
Heeeeeeere's Kelly!   

Hi there!  I'm Kelly from The Essence of Home and I'm so honored to be a guest today on Amy's blog.  She asked if I would share some of my favorite things for her new blog series.  Well, of course!  That sounds like a lot of fun!  As I started thinking about what my favorite things were, I realized I had quite a long list.  So, I won't bore you with everything I can think of.  You might be here a while!  I broke up my favorite things into categories and thought maybe you could relate to some of these as being your favorite things as well. After all, I'm not a jet setting, world traveling person.  I live a simple life in the south with my family, so I'm not very complicated.  

So let's get this thing started!

FOOD

1. southern style cooking


2. Mexican food

3. chocolate

4. grilled food


5. morning coffee


LIFESTYLE

1. historic renovated houses (not formal)
2. rocking chairs on a large front porch

3. a water view from the house

4. Fall festivals
5. living in the south

6. going to movies

7. antique shopping

8. yoga stretches

ANIMALS

1. dogs with smushed faces
2. pygmy goats

3. geese

4. baby chicks
5. blue birds


NATURE

1. beautiful flower gardens
2. trees with spanish moss
3. white sandy beaches by the ocean


TECHNOLOGY

1. iphone

2. my car with all of it's bells and whistles
3. news channel

4. innovative household gadgets


Hope you enjoyed reading about some of my favorite things.  It was hard to narrow it down.  I could've included so many more categories and items.  I'm sure I will learn a lot from this fun series that Amy is doing.  I look forward to seeing other people's favorite things list!

Thanks for having me Amy!
