A few of my favorite things (Part II)

What a day!  I feel so lucky for so many reasons!  Literally lucky as it turns out :)

So, my first favorite thing is WINNING a free hip slip bag from Jasmine Star !!!!!  I cannot describe how amazing it was to just be checking out some of my favorite blog and find MY NAME in it :)  Yeah, that smiley face isn't big enough...  It's such an unexpected blessing (really? me out of like 1300?) and I am just trying to let it sink in :)

Alright, so my next favorite thing is this picture that I found while doing some editing...


There can be so much joy in life if we just take the time to appreciate it :)  My sister came to visit a few weeks ago and captured this image of my weekday buddies and I piled on the couch.  So simple and so powerful!  Look around for those moments of laughter and enjoyment of the simple things in life... that are really what life should be all about :)  I would love to hear what makes you feel lucky!

Another favorite thing comes from a recent trip to the Aquarium (with the boys of course)...  Take time to appreciate the beauty in this world - and share it with those around you!


While I wouldn't want to meet these in the wild... they are awesome to watch behind some glass :)


I hope to always see the world with the wide-eyed wonder and excitement of a five year old!


Here's to many more adventures...

Miss Sam,

Thank you for being so wonderful to my angels. You are a blessing to me as an aunt who thinks about them every minute, of every day. Thank you.
