"I am beginning to learn that it is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all."
-Laura Ingalls Wilder
I read this quote the other day while I was running in a scrapbooking book (Real. Life. Scrapbooking. by Rebecca Sower...very good!) I thought it was such a simple but very true statement. So here are a few of the simple sweet things in my life that I LOVE!
Kissing Sophie
Kids laughing
watching Emma make a right choice
spending time with family
not being able to stop laughing
a quite hour
playing Cinderella/stepmother with Emma
watching Sophie sleep
watching tv or just talking with Jon
talking on the phone with a friend
Alright I didn't really plan on doing that and now it's hard to stop....take a moment and think of your sweet simple things...it will make you smile!

Great post! We all need to think about the sweet things in life. Thanks for the reminder! Love ya!
That is such a sweet picture! I think it's so easy to get caught up in the day-to-day things that we forget to appreciate the small things.
I love this post and the picture of my girls- will you please tell Sophie to slow down so we don't miss too much?!! Love you lots
Thanks for reminding me to be thankful! You are so great at counting your blessings. BTW- I couldn't walk for a few days after the work out on Monday! Were you sore too?
Such a cute picture, and I love that quote. I can't wait to see all of you next week!
Your list is so sweet! I'm glad I got to see you and Jon at Cameron's blessing last weekend. Your girls are even cuter in person! Hopefully we don't go so long without seeing each other again.
Mandy!!
Emma has grown so much and sophie is such a sweetie! you do good work!

Those things are wonderful! I forget all the time to think about the things that I really "love" I need to be better about remembering them, and not taking them for granted. Thanks for a fantastic post!
I am loving that your simple things. I sure wish I could see Sophie (and Emma). So cute!
