A few of my favorite things...

Besides being a mommy, wife, and hard working employee, I am still a girly girl and love girly things. Once in a while we have to stop to think about ourselves too. Here's a list of a few things non baby related that I love...

I love Bravo tv!! The only good thing about Matt being a pilot and traveling a lot is that I get week nights to myself. I veg out on the couch and catch up on my recorded tv shows! Yes, I watch Bethenny getting Married, Real Housewives of NY, and of course my favorite: Rachel Zoe Project! Good quality time well spent!


Matt introduced me to P90X after I had Roman. It is awesome! I'm not going to lie, I've never done the meal plan and don't follow the video orders strictly. I simply do whatever workout video I'm feeling that day. It is amazing! There is absolutely nothing like the AB Ripper X!! Killer! Matt and I like to do the workout videos together in the living room while Roman naps on weekends. Fun times in the Franks household!




I absolutely used to hate Central Market just a few months ago because it's so crowded and feels like a maze. Now, I consider it one of the best places to shop for organic foods. We also LOVE Sprouts. Central Market is located near our church, so Matt and I love to take Roman there for lunch and then grocery shopping after church. The random tastings keep Roman happy the whole time!


There is not a week that goes by that I don't wear my J Brand black skinny jeans. I know that's horrible, but I absolutely love them!! As Rachel Zoe would say, "they're major!" They go with flats, sandals, boots, heels, and pretty much every top that I own. These were such a great purchase!!


After reading Gwyneth Paltrow's blog, Goop, I discovered Tracy Anderson. I really hesitated on purchasing another workout video, especially since we have P90x! Finally, I caved and ordered this post pregnancy video online when Roman was 16 months old! Wow, so glad I did! This video is so great in working your abdominal muscles, arms, and legs. The best part is that it's only 50 minutes long! I can finish it before Roman even wakes up in the mornings. I really plan to utilize this video even more after my next pregnancy. Btw, Matt tried to do 15 minutes of the ab part and gave up! Wow!

I love my new Korres lip butter. The brand is from Greece and uses natural products. I wanted to use products with no mineral oil and the lady at Sephora showed me the brand. I love their hand lotion too!!


So besides rain drops on roses and whiskers on kittens, these are a few more of my favorite things!
