A few of my favorite things

Last week we had a birthday party for my friend Pamela....As part of the favors Erica made this great gift bag containing a few of Pamela's favorite things. What I liked most about it is the simplicity of the items on the list. Pamela finds happiness in things like homeade jam and sipping tea from her favorite mug. If I were to make a list it would contain things like: traveling somewhere new, swimming in the ocean (something I never get to do in the freezy Oregon beaches)or going on a ten mile hike. (Haven't done that since I had kids...I get the feeling a 4, 3 and 1 year wouldn't enjoy it too much). It got me thinking that maybe I need to find more simple pleasures or it will be a long time before I can go to my happy places. (Moving to Hawaii isn't an option at this point). So I'm working on a list of my top ten favorite things (at least for today)

10. Snuggling with my kids and their Daddy
9 Hugs and Kisses from Boomer and Jackson
8 Sadie wanting her Mommy
7 Creating some fun new craft
6 Going for a five mile run
5 Sunshine
4 Christmas lights
3New Socks
2 Free time to work on blogs, and read others blogs
1.Good food

I also like pants that stay up and don't show my underwear, Sleeping in and when my boys are playing together.

  1. What a wonderful post! Thank you for your kind words, Michelle. I love your list. I hope we can see each other very soon! I just like you too much to let months go by without getting together. xo
