#4 Roses
Here in America, we like our thorny friends in neat bundles of a dozen (or a half, but that's only half as good). I appreciate the scent of a bunch of these fragrant blossoms. While one smells good, twelve smell so much better!
#3 Donuts
I might enjoy a Boston Creme from my old pal, Dunkin', every now and again. They go down really easily, if you know what I mean. And in my family of six, getting donuts by the dozen just makes sense.
#2 Eggs
Now, I'm not a huge lover of eggs for the sake of eggs. Once in a while I'll get a good hankerin' for scrambled eggs, but by and large I leave eggs alone. Except when I'm baking. Then, the three dozen eggs in my fridge and I are BFFs. How could I make brownies without them? Or cookie dough? My kitchen without eggs? Perish the thought!
But the Number One thing I adore that has, thus far, come into by life by the dozen, is...
#1 Years of Marriage to My Michael
Last year for Christmas/my birthday he booked us a little getaway at at charming Bed and Breakfast in Hershey, PA. And he arranged for the childcare! While we were in Hershey we went to "The Hershey Story," a new museum and learned all about Milton S. Hershey's life and more about the chocolate making process. We even got to participate in a class at "The Chocolate Lab." Now, I'm not trying to brag, but not just anyone can wear a plastic apron and a hair net and rock the look quite as well as my love and I can.

Aww Happy Anniversary you two.
Happy Anniversary . . . and, yes, you are definitely rockin' the hair nets!
Smoking hot photo op! That's how you know he is the man for you forever. Pictures like this bind a couple the way marriage vows never could.
12 years and look at you, still young and in love. :) A bed and breakfast sounds lovely!
Plastic outerwear never looked so fun. Happy belated anniversary.
Happy anniversary : ). 12 is our favorite number too right now. I didn't realize our anniversaries were so close to each other.
I really enjoyed your creative post. It's so much fun to follow your blog because of the "angles" you use to approach your stories. I'm a Mendy-as-a-writer fan!
How fun! Gotta love a good get away, especially when you can pass along the responsiblity of finding childcare. Tell me, did you seduce Michael at your B&B with a charming PA Dutch accent???
Whitney, we were in the "Amish Room", so what do you think?
That's a fantastic post, friend. I saw all those donuts and had a hankerin' of my own :)
Yeah! You updated your blog!
eggs before doughnuts....? i'm not sure about that. but happy anniversary!
You are so cute!
AAAAAHHHHH! So adorable! Happy Anniversary to you!
Dozens are great! Congrats on 12 years.
