It's been a crazy week at This Old House. We were out of town all weekend, we got behind on the laundry & cleaning, I haven't cooked a proper meal all week and the to-do list is approaching an epic length. To put the level of chaos at our casa in perspective - I had to borrow The Mister's deodorant yesterday because I ran out and didn't make it to the store.* So, instead of smelling powder fresh, I smelled like a boy all day long. Only marginally better than b.o. if you ask me.
Enough with the shameful confessions. I want to talk about the simple things in life. The things that are easy to forget when life gets hectic. Kelly at Kelly's Korner did a post on "Simple Pleasures" and it reminded me to think about all the little things that bring a smile to my face. Even when the sink is full of dishes and I'm wearing Right Guard.
...a few things that brighten my day...
a day spent in pjs
the smell of clean laundry
cupcakes
pictures of weddings & babies
80's movies
guacamole
a tivo full of cooking shows
comments
wandering the aisles of Super Target
fountain diet coke
a phone call from my family
my husband's goodnight kisses

What are the little things that brighten your day?
*I went to the store last night & am happy to report I am powder fresh once again.

Such a perfect list! I heart Jake Ryan:) SO wish we lived in Florida, we are being hit by another major snowstorm-so warm sunny weather(even if just in pictures) and palm trees brighten my day!
A great list, I agree with so many of your choices! I wonder whatever happened to Jake Ryan? :) Happy to hear that you are powder fresh and not ruggedly fresh anymore! I had a week or two where I was out of my body wash and had to use my husband's irish spring - that was interesting!
This is a great list girl!! Reading all your stuff made me smile :) :) :)
Good call on the 80's movies! I have loved Jake Ryan since the first time I ever saw that. And those cupcakes look AMAZING!!!!!
Have a great weekend!!!
Aren't fountain diet cokes a million times better than the ones out of a can?
love love love the list! and i'm totally with you on the boy deodorant stuff ... can't stand it. would rather use baby powder until i get to target! and thanks for making me want cupcakes whilst in the midst of a stomach virus. not a good pairing. hahah! happy weekend, friend!
I hear ya! I've been wearing my husband's socks all week because all of mine are dirty and I'm too lazy to do laundry! At least they were clean socks. I'm still ashamed... Great list!
What a great list! I pretty much love all the same things!
great list. men's deodorant has no antiperspirant in it. what gives? i sweat too much for just deodorant! congrats on 100 posts too!
I like your list :)
Also, I did the exact same thing with the deodorant yesterday - and then I immediately went and bought some :) Except instead of powder fresh, I smell like peaches and ginger, or whatever that Dove Burst stuff smells like.
I'm with you on the cupcakes! Yum yum!!!
I love your list! Definitely a few on here that I need to use to revise my own! haha Have a great weekend!
Awesome list! I am all over the cupcakes.
I would add Starbucks skinny peppermint mochas-no whip.
Snugging with any of my boys.
Shopping at my favorite little home decor shop.
Sunday lunches with my family after church.
GNO
Awesome list!!!
80's movies are a definate treasure! :)
I have definitely had to borrow Dan's deodorant before - and since then I always try to keep a spare just in case because that man wears the strongest smelling deodorant I was self conscious all day.
