My family. Every day. For obvious reasons.
The way the sunlight comes through the windows in the late afternoon at my parents' house and makes things glow. I just love that.
Fresh blueberries. Don't you get so excited when they are in season and you can get a lot of them for a good price?!
Canned tomatoes because with a little time and a few ingredients I can turn them into fresh salsa. Which is in my top ten favorite foods.
Oatmeal. Regular, old fashioned, steel cut. Call me strange but I get excited about oatmeal. Walnuts, cinnamon, brown sugar, blueberries, dried fruit...just think of the possibilities!
New scarves. I have always been a fan of scarves. Always!
The way a new scarf can dress up an old or plain outfit. (Am I seeing a pattern here?)
Okay. New outfits in general make me smile. Which is why my mom gave me this ornament in my stocking this year. It makes me smile too. :)
Natural beauty. God's artistry. The way I feel so free when the warm sun hits my shoulders and the cool breeze blows in my hair. I could go on and on...
Date nights. I think my husband and I are going on one tonight. Yay!
Steam in the bag broccoli. I think I could kiss who ever invented this. Or at least give them a high five. Perfectly cooked broccoli, no pan to clean. I singlehandedly go through a few bags a week!
A certain little buddy who wears Buzz Lightyear cowboy boots. That's a big one right there.
Opening my refrigerator and seeing this...along with 5 or 6 other types of creamer! I'm a creamer addict. And a "variety is the spice of life" kind of girl.
So, I could keep going with this post!! There are lots of little things that make me smile! There's one more thing I really want to share, but I'll wait until my next post. For now, I've got to go get ready for a date!! I mean, I look good in my husband's old, size XL "Give A Hoot, Don't Pollute" t-shirt, but I'm not sure if it's quite date night material. ;)
What things make you smile?!
Hello. I enjoyed your photos of your family. I like the toy story boots. I have been going to your church for a year and a half now and I have to say lately I miss hearing you sing. I loved when you guys lead the song service. :) Just thought i would drop a note.
