Note from Abby:


I’m just not really a thing person. When I was trying to think of 12 things I couldn’t live without, I asked myself, "If someone told me I had two minutes to grab what I needed to go on a vacation, what would I have to grab." One thing would be mousse, to contain this curly, frizzy mess on top of my head. Then would be mascara…and maybe some lip-gloss. I didn’t feel like that was going to make for a very exciting list. :) Then, I started thinking about what we could NOT live without around here, and the word that kept resounding through my ears was laughter. And that’s what I wrote about.
