My Simple Things and 16/30 Days of Gratitude

~My Simple Things~

Making someone smile

The space in-between

The smell of baby’s breath


Purring 

My cupcake printed PJ’s

Holly driving down our drive way

Warm toes/fuzzy socks


...with nuts

Mittens and scarves

Strolling to the mailbox



Old Polaroids 


A fresh clean home

Snow in the south

Holly sleeping in her bed at my house

Tickles and giggles


Homemade


Pixie elves

Hay in a manger

Lemonade on the porch  

600 thread count


Thrifty finds

Children singing

Laughing Cow Cheese

Losing a pound



Shutter clicks

Today

Candles

Seeds sprouting


Vintage Christmas ornaments

Giving of myself

Cotton candy clouds in raspberry blue skies

No cavities


Carrot noses

A warm bath 

The smell of crayons


Jingle bells


Pink

Believing

Paper chain garland

Flannel

The words I love you




My simple things are just that…simple. They are the things that I cherish, thoughts that make me smile; things that make me giddy, things that make me jump for joy at the mere sight of them.
They are often so simple that people over look them or not even notice them at all.
My simple pleasures make me happy. And also these are things that
I am simply grateful for too on this 16/30 Days of Gratitude.

You will find the originator of My Simple Things over at
Christina’s blog~Soul Aperture.  Please go over and visit with her...
you will not be disappointed, I promise!
And here's a list of others like me who are sharing their own Simple Things.

I am truly grateful for My Simple List of Things

 




Side note: I am thankful today that Holly made it back home safely to Louisiana...Praise the Lord!

I love the pictures of the vintage dishes and Christmas ornaments. Very pretty!

I so enjoyed your list! I think I'm gonna have to sit down one day and come up with one of my own. It's also a sweet reminder for us to enjoy the simple pleasures in our lives! =]
