One of my most overused phrases is “That’s my new favorite thing.” For example, it can be overheard after discovering the awesomeness of Scandal, the baby sleeps through the night, or I find a new lip gloss. Calling anything a “series” is the blog kiss of death for me, so from time to time I’ll share a few photos of my new favorite things. This one is a little random to get me started!
The new ‘do | Still not sure if brown is my favorite color, but I’m slowly getting used to it. My eyes are closed because, well, my eyes are closed in about 99% percent of the pics I take. Apparently I’m a big blinker.
Dollar Store Lip Gloss and Nail Stickers | This is seriously the best lip gloss I’ve found! Just the right shade of pink and really glossy. And BONUS I got nail art stickers in teeny tiny heart shapes. Too fun.
Gold Leaf Heart Ring | Apparently I lied yesterday when I said that hearts gone wild would be over. At least it’s February now! With some leftover clay from my ring bowl, I made a fancy new ring. I can’t decide if it’s too blingy even for me.
Big news | I’m not much of a horn tooter but I can’t resist sharing that HH was named an up and coming blog this week (I swooned). Almost 2 years to the day, according to the family journal, that I coined the phrase “Henry Happened.” Oh, and in addition to contributing for Allison at Petit Elefant I’m also going to be doing DIYs for Jen at Made by Girl (like the one above). Woohoo!
Craft Fail | You know what is not my favorite thing? Airheads. I have rolled and cut and crafted with 2 boxes of these guys. Attempting to make candy bath roses was apparently a bad idea because they ended up a hot mess. So much for my chance to win a free trip to AltSummit in NYC. On the plus side, at least this craft fail was pretty tasty.
What’s your new favorite thing this week?
Love the hair!! You look great!
I am always saying things are my new favorite too! I just love trying new things, and it’s great that I end up liking so many of them! :)

Congrats to the up and coming blog! Glad to hear others are appreciating your talent! :) I love the ring, in honor of our mother, no ring is too big or blingy! :)
That is true – Mom did know how to rock a big, blingy ring – guess I get that from her :)
Congrats on being named an up and coming blog! Your blog is SO fantastic! I love all of your fresh and inspirational ideas!! Love the brown hair too! :)
I’m so excited for you being on that Alt list–you so deserve it and I know it’s the start of even bigger, better things for Henry Happened! And I’m glad you finally posted a picture of the hair change–I love it!
Have the kids when completely hopped up on Airheads all week? I bet this was their favorite DIY ever, fail or not. :)
Yes, the kids loved the Airheads! They totally swarmed me at one point and made off with a few. And thank you for the kind words, here’s to a great year for both of us!
An orangy red coffee mug I got at target for the mantle.
Congrats on the big time shout out!
My new favorite thing is the sequin dress I scored at Marshall’s for $10!
Oh, that is a good score! I need more sequins in my closet :)
So happy for you! (and I love the blingy ring!)
Thank you Danielle! And truthfully, I kinda love my blingy ring too :)
That gold leaf ring is ah-mazing. I am in love with it.

Hahaha Oh you make me laugh so much!
First, LOVE your hair! You rock a short cut better than anyone else I know!
Second, LOVE that ring! It’s totally fabulous! Can something really be too blingy? No, I think not.
