like a snuggle, or unexpected hug, the warm sun, sleeping an extra 15 minutes, iced coffee (it's 90 degrees today), chocolate chip cookies right out of the oven, belly laughing over something silly, catching up with an old friend or sister, ordering in, or eating out.
today i need to slow down and enjoy some of these little things. what little things do you enjoy??

Sweet text messages from my boyfriend. Especially, the "I love you" ones. Phone calls from him, "just to hear my voice". My sweet dog, Milo. His happy personality. Sunny days.
Taking my 22 month old to swimming lessons and having him trust me enough to jump into my arms. ...hugging my adopted daughter today...she is from the Chengdu, China, area of Sichuan and God chose to give her to us...seeing her smile is priceless...
clean sheets on my bed, both our girls home at the same time, a good mocha every morning to start my day, a surprise Snapdragon peeking out between a wall and our rock garden.
chubby, 2 year old fingers.
writing a post for my blog in one sitting.
when my 11 year old daughter asks for my opinion.
"I love you Mommy"
one of my favorite little things is when my son, a kindergartner, sees me at school (I'm a teacher) and throws me a kiss and a hug
Opening the windows in the morning to cool down the house for the day (it was 87 here today...and 91 expected tomorrow)...watching the ducks fly overhead still returning home while waiting for my son to get out of school...noticing my daughter's mud streaked skort because they had water play at preschool...all signs of summer ahead.
Today I folded laundry on the patio while I watched my kids play in the little blow up pool. I loved relaxing to the sound of my children's laughter along with the windchimes chiming in the breeze and being productive all at the same time. The scenery of them jumping and smiling was also beautiful.
oh, i forgot to mention 'the office'. :)
My favourite time of the day is when the house is empty and I can enjoy my breakfast, a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice and the paper.
Sol in Norway
Some of my favorite things are. . .
playing peekaboo with my baby boy and hearing him laugh!
listening to my ipod.
a clean house.
a night out with my husband.
brand new episodes of The Office and Lost.
weekends.
:)
Being hugged... I miss that the most when my husband is on one of his long business trips... I think I am touch deprived right now!
Touch is one of the little things I enjoy!
I love the "good morning" hug & kiss I get from my youngest daughter everyday! It just makes me sigh with contentment. I am so blessed!
- ice cold diet coke
- fun time with my husband and kids
- Grey's Anatomy (even if they are repeats)
- having time to be bored (which never seems to happen!
Have a great weekend!!
How proud my 5 year old was to lose his first tooth yesterday, sweet snuggles from my 2 year old, unexpected calls from great friends just to tell me they miss me...and we need to do lunch. The sound of my grandmothers voice, forehead kisses, and sunshine!
having time to read 6 chapters in one night just to finish a good book, a night of scrapbooking, ordering in chinese after a long day, finding the perfect lighting for that perfect picture, hugging my man after not seeing him all day, seeing my nieces and nephews excitement as they run up to hug me, and feeling the stress unwind as I sit with my Bible to give it all to the Lord. Just a few...but I loved that post...thanks!
P.S. I showed my friend your site, and she already got something of yours...stackable rings for mother's day...I was soo jealous...my man just doesn't get hints as well as hers. : )
wonderful question.
a few of my favorite little things:
- every evening, reading Bible Storybook to my baby, who'll be born this october.
- fresh tomato slices with lots of pepper and salt, a tradition.
- having the time to cook a big breakfast on saturday mornings and relax.
- sunrises at the beach, rarely, but i've had the pleasure of seeing a few.
- flower blossoms.
some of my favs...
~the smell of my 8 month old baby boy
~being too silly for words with my hubby while our baby giggles
~snuggling with my velvet soft mini-doxie schatz
~the feeling i get while singing a worship song when i can feel Jesus smiling down on me
~the realization of a prayer that's been answered
~the sound of my husband's key opening the front door after a long day without him
~sharing a bowl of popcorn with my hubby while watching LOST
~Doc's Java ice cream on a hot day
~a good hard cry every now and then...it always feels better after you get it out

coffee frappichino from Starbucks; "The Office"; when my boy climbs into my bed in the mornings and snuggles; a clean house.
Waiting till the kids are in bed and then FINALLY sitting down with my hubby and TRYING to watch all the shows we've recorded.

"Mommy, lay down and cuddle with me" from my little boy.
YOur slap slaps look JUST like ones I have had for 18+ years now that I bought in a little german village in California. Basic shoes that are STILL going strong, had them on yesterday in fact. Be well!
