It's The Simple Things in Life--Long Week Edition

This week has been a pretty long and challenging one, but I'm going to end it on a positive note by focusing on the the simple things that bring me joy.

*I am appreciating that my little guy is now back to his regular sleeping routine.  Whatever it was waking him up, I hope it stays far, far away!

*I am appreciating his little toothy grin.  He has the funniest laugh, and it's definitely contagious!

*I am appreciating the fact that I have been steadily knocking items off of my to-do list.  It might not be quick, but I am making progress.

*I am appreciating the new Hawaiian ice cream shop in my city.  They have AWESOME shaved ice that is done to perfection!

*I am appreciating that I've been reading more books lately. I've always loved reading, so I'm glad to get back into it.

It's the Simple Things in Life

This is the first time I am linking up with Jesslyn Amber, but my bloggy friend The Workaholic Momma has been for awhile so I thought I would give it a shot.  I think it's always good to slow down and realize that the simple things in life are really what matter.

*I am appreciating the time I spent taking a stroll with an old friend last night and catching up.  It's so nice to get out and enjoy the outdoors with a friend and also get the little one out of the house.  We're going to try to do it once a week!

*I am appreciating that tonight my mother in law is coming to watch the little one so I can attend a mother's night out with the Stroller Strides group.  I really haven't spent much time with them outside of the actual workout so this should be fun.  And hey margaritas are being served!

*I am appreciating the fact that we are finally seeing some hints of cooler weather.  I can't wait for fall!

*I am appreciating that my little boy is actually becoming a little boy.  It's kind of bittersweet, yet exciting all at the same time.

*I am appreciating my husband for being such a wonderful father to our son.

*I am appreciating that my new roof is finally done after two days of hammers and noise.  It's nice to get back to a sense of normalcy and nap time!
