Simple Pleasures

Leisha got me thinking over at The Hairston Family's blog about what simple things are pleasures to me.... a rush of goosebumps fell over me. So here are the exciting things in my life (well, exciting to me!) In no order...

1. a clean, organized house


2. when my family gobbles up a meal I just made for them... pure joy


3. when my kids show concern for each other


4. when Dan gets so excited telling me something, he stutters


5. a fresh oil change... I know, weird!


6. NATURE - this could be its very own list


7. making: sewing, crocheting, cooking, crafting (another list in itself)


8. meaningful conversation with other young mothers


9. the look in my kids eyes when they learn


10. getting the Christmas tree & its scent filling the house


11. smelling the top of my kid's heads' resting on my shoulder... just breath them in!


12. my kids eating vegetables


13. office supplies... heavenly...


14. stormy day


15. a new recipe that turns out to be a family favorite


16. grateful children


17. Ben's southern accent (no idea where he got that! ;)


18. aprons


19. quilts


20. lists!! (can you tell? :)


21. afternoon coffee with cream & a tsp of honey in the silence of a sleepy house at nap time


22. Dan's perfectly auburn, beard... now speckled with bits of grey


23. traditions


24. Ali's sparkly eyes


25. pajama pants


26. Dan dancing to the beat of his own drum :D (figuratively & physically)
27. vintage treasures

I loved doing this, thanks Leisha for the idea. I think I could keep going on and on, but will end here. What a way to put yourself in a better mood... I think I'll go find a new recipe for dinner!
