Things I’m enjoying these days…
Giggles and squeals coming from the girls’ room
Strong iced coffee with cream
Spontaneous bbqs with neighbors where I can spill half a bottle of salad dressing on my pants and it doesn’t matter
Red wine in big, fat, round glasses
Windows open, all the time
Date night
Flip flops and no socks
Wild cherry diet Pepsi
Showers without background noise or little hands moving the curtain
Mother’s Day Out Wednesday mornings
Going to the bathroom alone
Hearing BQ repeat something I’ve been drilling her on without prompting
Afternoon smoothies
Molé’s sweet grin while swinging at the park
Parents and in-laws who visit frequently
The not too far off reality of living near family
Actually keeping my house fairly clean (big accomplishment for me)
Clothes involving a waistband
Ponytails on little girls
Irish Spring body wash (have you tried it????)
Easy Mac
My chocolate brown double stroller and its precious cargo
Dreaming about a third child (no announcements, I said “DREAMING”)
The sound of the door opening when my hubby comes home
The feel of my bed at the end of the day
And nap time
What makes you smile lately? Write it down and remember it on the days where smiles seem elusive.
none of these things surprised me, amy – you are true to your love of them because I just witnessed most of them up close!
I like the giggles from the girls’ room, too, unfortunately it is short-lived, followed by silence and then, usually, squeals. Nowadays there are certain times of the day where the two eldest just CANNOT play together, with or without adult supervision. Oh, I forgot, you were looking for things we enjoy. I enjoy my newborn who seems to have gotten the memo: she has slept more in her short life than my two previous newborns in their combined six months. Love. It.
