Simple Pleasures

After being snowed in with my fabulous family for two days I have been thinking about some on the things I enjoy the most. All too often I focus on the business and seriousness of daily life and forget to stop and think about the simple things . It is so easy to get caught up in the things that bother you and bring you down. I am guilty of that as well. So here is my "list" of simple pleasures in no particular order.

My Simple Pleasures.

1. It's no secret that I get up early even when I don't have to so that I can have a few quiet moments before the house wakes. A hot cup of coffee and a quiet house in the early morning.

2. The sweet sound of "Mama" from either of my children.

3. That this boy thinks his Mama is the greatest!


4. Warm laundry from the dryer.

5. A clean house!

6. Watching my baby girl sleep. Squeezing in beside her and trying to breathe it all in and hoping that this moment will last forever.



7. Great friends and family. And I am blessed enough to have great friends that are very much my family!

8. Sitting in the warm summer sun with sweet tea and a good book.

9. That these 5 kiddos are such a wonderful part of my life!

10. The laughter of my kiddos.

11. Thrift store shopping.

12. The love of a good man. We may stumble and get off track but I love how we always end up right back where we need to be.
