Things I love right now

This is a random post.  A list of things that I'm enjoying, that are making me smile, or laugh.  In no particular order. 

• Stella's ever-growing vocabulary.  Careened?  Really?  You're 4.  Slow down.
• The books I ordered to teach her to read just came. Thank you UPS.
• Bruce would rather not be fulled clothed inside.  Even if it is only 35 degrees out there.
• Sending out resumes and tracking the hits on Sid's website.
• Coffee every morning.
• Bruce falling asleep on my lap.
• Finishing a school workbook with Stella.
• Cuddly reading time with the kids.
• Nap time.

So pleased to make my list of little things!  Thanks Katie for the inspiration, and the nudge!

To see Katie's list  head over to Little Things Bring Smiles.

Little Things Bring Smiles

My very talented and fun friend Katie has a blog called Little Things Bring Smiles.  Every month she does a round up post of, you guessed it, Little Things that made her smile that month.  I think this is a fabulous idea, and I thought I would copy the idea.  So without further ado my list:


Smiles from my kids
Listening to them laugh together.
Chicken salad with Chinese Rice Noodles
Talking to friends on the phone
Seeing friends in person
Spending time with Sid
Watching Bruce learn to walk
Grandma coming to visit - actually that's a big thing!
Wooden Blocks
1st Birthday Parties
"Dates" with Stella

That's what I have for now, but I'm sure I could add more later.

Now you should go and check out Katie's list!
