“It’s the little things”

an old friend said that once after I had cooked for her. I’m realizing she’s right. Like the other day when I saw that rainbow. So I’ve been noticing those little things that mean a lot to me-simple pleasures-

hot chocolate on a cold night- the other night we had the best time all going and getting getting hot chocolate and then drinking it out in the cold watching a little of a football game.

watching my kids run with smiles on their faces

hearing Andrew speak French

hearing Andrew translate a story for Abigail!

snuggling with Abby to listen to a book on tape

picking out books leisurely at the library with the kids

reading to my kids as they look at me with big eyes

harvesting pumpkins from our garden

a girlfriend loading me up with snacks for the kids when she knew I was going to have a rough few hours being taxi

a friend inviting me over for coffee to talk when she knew I was having a rough time

a friend bringing an extra coffee for me at a playdate

the silence in our house when the kids are asleep:)

playing trains with Andrew

stomping puddles!

the feeling after a haircut

a clean house

listening to Enya while doing chores

cooking with Abigail

tonight it’s a hot cup of cider enjoying the silence of sleeping kids after a long day!

What are your simple pleasures?
