birds returning to the feeder
generally good health after a string of illnesses
delicious green smoothies
the silence of three littles ones asleep at naptime
Old Navy leggings that hold everything in
coconut milk in my coffee
finding a note from my boys on my pillow
hearing all the kids laugh and play together (rare!)
warm oversized sweaters
our weekly “date” watching Hunted
a freshly made bed
selling our old bed and finally getting it out of our hallway!
a baptismal outfit that has been worn by all five of my sons
Mark’s brisket
dance parties before bed
watching D dive into a new book
telling funny memories about growing up with my grandmother
a brand new box of crayons
Panda Puffs as my dairy-free sweet treat
this quote from St. Josemaria Escriva: “May your behavior and your conversation be such that everyone who sees or hears you can say: ‘This man reads the life of Jesus Christ.’ “
I just spent entirely too long trying to figure out why you were putting coconut milk in your leggings. I think I need a nap 🙂
Hahahah!
I'm crying/laughing at your "Old Navy leggings holding everything in"… I hear ya, sister! Hahaha!
And finding notes from your boys? Oh just the sweetest!
"All five of my sons"– girl! You have FIVE sons!!! How amazing is that?!? God bless you!
Gotta love clothing that holds in all my lumpy parts, hahahaha!
great list! I loved so many of them and they reminded me to pay better attention to the itty bitty joys of the day (our weekly date/show night! and brand new boxes of crayons – YAS!) I'd be interested in knowing your green smoothie recipe 🙂 do share, please xxox
My current go-to smoothie is a cup of spinach, about a cup of water, 1/2 cup of frozen mango, 1/2 cup of frozen pineapple and a banana. Definitely green, but not so bad that you feel like you're drinking grass. 🙂
Beautiful list. I still love the smell of a new box of crayons too. I hope you're having a terrific week.
