10 Little Things That Make My Day
Hi friends! Did you have a nice long weekend?! I hope you did. We had a wonderful weekend being all together and spending time as a family. That seems to be the theme of most weekends!
Today I’m linking up with iHomeschool Network’s blog hop and sharing 10 little things that make my day. I know it’s kind of random since I normally post toddler and preschool ideas, but this will give you a chance to get to know me better! Here it goes…
1. Reading the Bible and drinking coffee!! I love it when I start the day right with spending time in the Word, feeling encouraged while sipping some java.
2. Candles…I have an obsession with them! I love lighting them and smelling them throughout my house. So glorious! I love Bath and Body Works, Yankee & really any good candle that smells good and melts evenly.
3. Boys taking naps at the same time. This does not happen very often these days, but when it does I soak it up. It really makes my day when they take naps!
4. Phone calls from friends. I love it when I connect with new and old friends. Most of my friends are busy moms, so it’s hard for us to talk on a regular basis. It’s a treat when we do!
5. Watching my boys with their dad. It just melts my heart!! We spent time at our local park with a carousel last weekend and the boys just loved the time with their dad!
6. Fresh cut flowers. I love picking them from our garden or receiving them from my husband. Something about flowers on my table brings a smile to my face!
7. Cards or letters in the mail. There’s something special about receiving a handwritten note from a friend or family member. Call me old fashioned!
8. Watching my boys play together. It’s so fun to watch them bond. They had a lot of fun splashing at grandpa and grandpa’s pool yesterday!
9. Back rubs from my husband. Hint, hint 🙂
10. Your comments!! I love hearing from you. You all bring a smile to my face. Thanks for reading along and for your sweet words.
What are some little things that make your day?
My list is very similar. Apart from the naps. My kids NEVER napped. I would add watching my dogs play when we go for a hike. They turn into joy filled puppies and it is beautiful to see.
I also love when my hubby rings at lunch time and emails me in the day.
Oooh, oooh and I really love that lovely bit of the day after the children have fallen asleep and the jobs are done and the dogs are snoozy and the house is calm and so, so quiet. Like now. It is so peaceful.
What a lovely list, nice to count the lovely, little blessings that come our way.
Hi Gina! That is a huge bummer that your kids never napped. So fun to hear about your list! Yes, I agree with you about the end of the day. Probably the best feeling of the day! Hope you are doing well 🙂
What a very down-to-earth list you’ve written. I like it. I remember those days of naps. So long, long ago. 😉

Thanks, Michelle! I can’t imagine days without naps, but I’m sure they’re coming!
Love your list. I would agree with all of yours. Another that makes me so happy is clean windows. Weird, I know. Oftentimes, I’ll put my kids down for rest/nap time and go clean a few windows and sit in front of them with a cup of tea and just stare out the window before the kids get up!

That is too funny!! I do love clean windows, too. Actually my thing is floors. I’m practically giddy when my wood floors are cleaned. Thanks for sharing!
My list would be about the same…I would have to add hiking and nature watching.

Fun! If we had places to hike around here, I would enjoy that too!
