One of the things you can expect to find here at Creekstone Cove is a monthly product review post. I am a firm believer in customer service and quality products. I will gladly spend more money on something that will last over something that is on sale. I buy the best that I can afford in things that are going to be staples in my life or things that will make my life easier. Please note that these products aren't things that are sponsored; they're just things that I love. Unlike Oprah's Favorite Things, these are ALL products that I own or have used. Not just stuff that I see and like. (Does anyone else have a problem with the fact that most of her "favorite" things aren't even things that she owns or uses?) Each month, I will list a few items that I think would benefit you. You may have already discovered these treasures; if so, please share your thoughts on the product! If you have things that are your favorites that you think I would like, pass them along! I love discovering new ways to simplify and improve my life! I will occasionally include an item that I haven't used, but ONLY if it's on my "Wish List". More times than not, this will serve as a visual reminder to Patrick. Hopefully he'll take the hint!
Anyway, here are the favorite things for November! If you're not finished with your Christmas shopping, these would make AMAZING gifts. Each product listing will link to the page.
1. Sterling Dewdrops Necklace from Lisa Leonard Designs

This is my "daily" necklace. Patrick bought me one for JC's first Christmas with his name one one side and his birthdate on the other. I have probably worn it all but ten days since I got it. Literally. Once Myra was born, I added another (on a shorter chain) with her name and birthdate, and I layer them. I have 9 pieces of jewelry from her collection, and they are all very high quality. I promise that this is worth the investment! My favorite thing to gift for new babies is the sterling spoon or an ornament. They are timeless gifts that will make anyone smile! Through today, you can receive 25% off any order with the code "cybermonday12" at checkout.
2. The Resolution for Women

If you are a mom, or have someone on your Christmas list who is a mom, this is the PERFECT gift! I was introduced to it by a friend from my hometown, and it has changed my life! I am a better wife, mom, and friend because of this book! The first chapter is all about being satisfied with the stage of life you are in right now. We spend so much time waiting for the next thing to happen, that we often miss God's blessings. I know I'm guilty of that! For only $10, this would make the perfect stocking stuffer!

I have these flats in sapphire (shown), and they are my favorite shoes! I wear them all the time. They're so comfortable! I have a slightly wider foot (not wide enough that I have to have wide width, but some shoes are just too narrow for me), and these fit perfectly. We're HUGE UK fans here, but I'm not a t-shirt kind of girl. I just never feel put together when wearing a t-shirt. So, this is my way to show my love for our national championship team (Go Big Blue!).
This is our first year doing this advent experience, and I am SO EXCITED!!! I've got my mason jars out and ready to store the daily supplies. It starts next Wednesday, and most of the items needed are things you will have around the house. Unlike most advent calendars, this one actually incorporates a mini Sunday-school type lesson with each day. The children get a Bible story and then make an ornament that corresponds with the story. I'll be posting progress pictures soon!

One of the first things I thought of when I found out that we were having a girl was the adorable flower headbands. I've ordered many different styles from several places. By far, these are the best quality I've purchased. Turns out, Myra isn't a fan of headbands, flowers, ruffles, lace, or anything else girly. This makes her daddy's heart happy, but it leaves this mamma annoyed. Of all of the ones I've purchased, these must be the most comfortable, because they're the only ones I can put on her without causing a level 3 meltdown. That's saying something! We have the Shabby Flower Headband set of 6, and a few of the individual flowers. I plan to buy more, and today looks like it will be the day to do it because the shop is having a sale! 15% off your purchase with code "NOVFIFTEEN".
