Hoping you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We did a mini STAYcation. We used free Legoland tickets on Friday and hit the Nixon Presidential Library on Saturday (where Chad and I had the funnest time photo-shooting ourselves in the reflective visor of real spacesuit worn by Neil Armstrong). But then on Sunday it all came to cash in because I woke up sick.
Don’t click away. I’m not giving away a spacesuit. Or a camera.
But I do think you’ll be interested in what I’m giving away today. So continuing in my My Favorite Things: Six Weeks of Free Stuff, I’m giving away a trio of my favorite writing items. Even if you aren’t a writer, I’m sure you’ll be happy.
$25 to Starbucks because that is where I get most of my writing done. I’m at my cozy little Starbucks twice a week when my three-year-old is in preschool.
$25 to iTunes because without my headphones connected to my computer listening to my writing playlist or something similar, I can’t get any work done with the milk steaming and people talking on their cell phones in the background. Music takes me to my happy place when I’m writing.
A mini Moleskine notebook. For the past few months I’ve kept one of these with me WHEREever I go. I put one in my purse and I leave it there. I write blog posts, shopping lists, and writing ideas in it. It’s perfect.
One of you will receive all of these in one tidy little package that is my pleasure to mail off at the end of the week. So, to enter, leave a comment in the comment field telling me your favorite trio of whatever. Three lipgloss colors. Three tea cups you love. Three places to vacation. Whatever you want. Three things that somehow go together.
Leave your comment (one comment only) before 9pm on Wednesday night and I’ll announce the winner on Thursday.
What’s your favorite trio?

My Top 3 Christmas Songs:
“Away In A Manger” (Because it still takes my breath away that the Lord of the Universe chose to become a BABY for us.)
“Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” (Because it focuses on being with family and friends and what more could you want at Christmas?)
“Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” (Because my daughters love to dance to it and that always makes me smile.)
My babes: Briggs (age 4), Hadley (age 3), new peanute (due February 21st, 2010)!
Although I have to admit my standard answer to the question “What 3 items would you bring to a deserted island?” were my bible, my boy and a razor.
My favourite trio:
1. Good coffee
2. Even better friends
3. The best conversation about life.
Right now i live a few hours away from a lot of my friends. I love being able to just sit down and have those truly heartfelt conversation about everything from boys to faith and everything in between. They are the girls that keep me sane. I honestly don’t know what i would do somedays if i couldn’t call them up and have them talk me though a problem that i just cannot get through, each one is a true God send!
Thanks for your blog, it is always inspiring me!
My favorite 3 things: family, worship and chocolate!
My favorite trio would be my 3 beautiful healthy children. My husband and I, in our youth, had planned the perfect family with 2 children. When our oldest was 3, I had a late term miscarriage.
In God’s infinite wisdom, 2 months later I became pregnant with twins. If asked if we planned on having 3 children, the answer would have been a “no”. But God knows what we need, what we are capable of, and brings beautiful blessings to our lives, even those we hadn’t planned on. Our lives are richer and more beautiful today because of the trio we have. As my youngest sings Jesus Loves Me in her crib in the morning, I hear God’s voice and am reminded how richer we are because of my favorite “trio”
A trio of favorite authors:
1. Elizabeth Goudge
2. Rumer Godden
3. Miss Read
Thank you, Sarah, for asking me to think of favorite trios. I had fun thinking about them and ended up writing down a long list of trios. You encouraged a whole new attitude for my day!
My favorites are:
1. Spending time with my family
2. Relaxing after a long work week by seeing a movie at the theater with a guilty indulgence of popcorn
3. Taking road trips
