Here's my list of little things that have inspired me or made me happy, this week.
-My Kale seeds have sprouted.
-Buying, thrifting and recycling a million large garden containers.
-Drinking the best latte I've ever had.
-Playing soccer with Scouty and Eliot while Louisey laughed and cheered at our rusty skills.
-Going out for dinner with Kurt and Louise while Scouty slept over at Grammy's.
-Louise had her first taste of those terrible baby puffs, and she's hooked.
-Kurt took a vacation day and we walked around the strip and went to the asian market.
-Starting a weight loss competition with the mama's group.
-Sticking to a reasonable diet. Except for this incident.
-Walking in the evening, under a huge pink and orange sky.
-Feeling like we're going to make it to spring, after all.
-Having this girl in my life. Watching how awesome she is with her little sister. She's so loving and careful and sweet, it makes my heart hurt.
What are your little things this week?
Just love sweet siblings. xo
ReplyDeleteThe walk under the pink/orange sky sounds heavenly, and yes, things like that remind me, too, that Spring will come, but not soon enough! You've reminded me that I must start my starts!

Happy Thursday!

I love these posts! Here are mine:
ReplyDelete- Regardless of the uber-shitty news of finding out that Jim & I owe the IRS butt loads of cash, I am thankful that we've saved our pennies so well over the years for a "rainy day" such as this.
- Successfully finished my fifth quarter of grad school with another set of straight A's. I'm 75% done with grad school!
- Got to mingle with some of my amazing professors & classmates at Drexel's NASPA reception. Got to talk higher education issues like a nerd. Won a Drexel hoodie in the raffle!
- Went out to lunch with three of my favorite coworkers, even though I am trying to save money by eating out less. It was so worth it, though. I laughed so hard that my face hurt and I accidentally spilled beer all over my jeans
- Made tofu & veggie masala for dinner
- Organized and held our first official "Smoothie Day" at work. I mixed up made-to-order smoothies for some of my coworkers. It was great! I love being able to promote healthy eating habits while having fun at my job.
- Ate Nutella gelato. Holy WOW! Delicious.
- Slept the entire night through 2 nights in a row after a week-and-a-half bout with insomnia that literally drove me to tears... and I never cry.
- Took my first walk home from work of 2011. The walk I'd about an hour. I missed them so much.
- Did yoga twice this week
- Bought a pretty dress at H&M for only $17
- Started flipping through my vegetarian cookbooks and bookmarking recipes to try. I am thrilled that Jim decided to go vegetarian after I have been wanting to for years.
There you have it! I'm exhausted by a few minor annoyances, and my house is in desperate need of Spring cleaning, but all in all it was a good week. :)
Oh, that red haired girl is beautiful! What a heart-breaker :)
ReplyDelete@Mizzmetro -- Nutella ice-cream -- yum!

The Hope of Spring and a walk under a pink/orange sky- two of the best Little Things ever! That dessert looks pretty food too. :)
