The "B" List

If you've ever thumbed through Oprah magazine, you're probably familiar with the O List; The section where Oprah endorses some of her favorite products. In her own words: "A few things I think are just Great!" Typically items that are superfilous and ridiculously priced: Anything from a $15 muffin to $60 hand soap for your guest bathroom. I ask myself, "Who on earth (besides Oprah) would actually pony up that kind of dough for such things?" I like to think that even if we were to stumble upon insane wealth, I would find better things to do with my cash than treat myself to a sterling silver tennis ball can. A note to friends and family: If I ever reach a point where I find it reasonable to purchase $10 rolls of colored toilet paper, please just slap me. Until then, here's my take on fab products in behalf of those of us who are still living in the real world.

THE B LIST .... "A few things I think are just GREAT!"

Wet Ones- these are far superior to the sanitizing gel that slips off my kids' palms before they can even rub it in.


Softlips - Because it's the only chapstick I use


Wallflowers- I'm partial to candles, but these are a nice alternative to forgetting to snuff out the wick and starting your kitchen on fire

Bug Bites- A hit with my girls, and Katelyn's playgroup friends. Too bad they are discontinued and I cleaned the stores out of all they had left. Good luck:)


Silicone Earplugs - For nights when you come dangerously close to smothering a snoring husband with your pillow.

Hostess mini cupcakes- No tea party is complete without them


No More Tangles- This spray means I hear a lot less of "Ow! You're hurting my head!"


Pillsbury Dough- Our Sunday dessert standby- when my homemade batch of cookies winds up burnt and in the trash.


LaCie Iamakey- I download all my photos onto this little baby and it keeps handy on my key ring for whenever I feel like developing the pics at the store. (Thanks, Eric!)


I will continue to be loyal to my "B List" products long after I win the lottery. And when I do, "YOU'RE ALL GETTING ONE!"

    I don't know what your problem is (sour grapes). I have an entire cupboard full of $60 hand soap thank you very much. I never considered the mini muffins and my girls love having tea parties. Aren't you excited to get them together? Remember last time Katelyn was a little perturbed that Rachel was taking her toys. Ah, cousins.

    If I were to make a "B" list there is only one item I can think to include...your homemade apple pie. Delicious

    I think the "O" list should be things that actually start with "O." I have recently discovered David prefers the store bought cookie dough to my own homemade cookies.

    Good stuff, all of it! They quit making Bug Bites? Dang. When you win the lottery you can buy out Keebler and get them back on the market.
