little things

It feels like time to reevaluate.
I've canceled 2 play dates in the last week because of sick kids. I sent Jeremy off Sunday night and stayed home with the kids because of suspected sickness...groan.
Last week I was feeling pretty mean, what with cleaning up too much puke, too much laundry and scrubbing and unhappy children and not enough sleep.
So I was feeling the need to pause and find something to not whine about.

Thank you Method and Target and Orla Kiely for finding a way to make a boring and everyday activity (mostly dish washing and a little hand washing) more thrilling. Pretty bottles and prettier smells - pear ginger and vanilla chai.
Sometimes it really is the little things.

      I know. I'm a sucker for it - I should have more self control, but alas.

    And don't forget those tiny amazing ice crystals we are seeing on the windows...looking thru the sunshine at those sweet sparkles is outstanding! Speaking of packaging. Hope you don't mind but I felt the need to borrow your gratitude quote for my board - very good one for this season of giving! Enjoy the day.
