My favorite things

Do I have Zagat written on my forehead?!?! For some reason throughout my life, family and friends have always come to me for random recommendations. What’s a good event space to host my husbands birthday?  Where’s a fun restaurant to have my parents anniversary dinner? Or where should I get my bikini waxed? And no matter how bizarre the questions are, somehow I always have an answer. I’m beginning to think I do too many things that just aren’t necessary. Since becoming pregnant the recommendation questions have been rolling in more than ever so I figured I would put together a list of all my favorite things both pregnancy related and not and share them with all my loving readers…So here we go
