This is a great time as the year winds to a close to share my favorite things. If Oprah can do it, so can I. Now, O can buy each of you one of her favorite things where I can only sing their praises. Without further ado...

Grab a cup o' tea and settle in with the Crawleys.

I'm cheap and love a good bargain so, despite growing up with Downy, I have always used store brand, generic, whatever is on sale fabric softener. We were out, I went to Costco and they were out of their store brand so I splurged and bought the real stuff. When your kid and husband ask "what's that smell? I like that." you know you're onto something. It's a joy reaching in the closet and pulling out something that smells like a spring garden. So, as much as it pains me (and my wallet), I have to admit the generic fell short on this one and I'm back to being a Downy girl.
So, from Downton Abbey to Downy, there you have it. Enjoy!
