Girl’s Life

In the craziness that is my life as a working mom, it’s easy to forget the true pleasures of a simple life. C’mon — there are clothes to wash, emails to write and blogs to post. But Chris and I do stop from time to time to remind ourselves that our life together is great. This happens mostly when things start getting really crazy and busy and we need a reminder that we really do have it good, despite the myriad of things that bog us down on a daily basis (being renters, commuting, working and figuring out childcare, Chris’ many recent 14 hour days, etc…).

But I’m so happy with my life. I really am. And I’m taking on Amy at happythings’ 10 Simple Pleasures Meme because it seemed like good timing to remind myself about those great things in my life that make me smile. I also really liked her idea of doing it with pictures, so I put my own Girl’s Life spin on it with Sophia’s help.

Here’s my list of 10 simple pleasures, in no particular order:

1. Goofy and infectious grins and giggles

2. Learning to do new things

3. The smell of the beach

4. Watching rain on the windows from inside

5. Dog tongues

6. Long uninterrupted baths

7. Slowing down and taking a load off

8. A baby thigh snack

9. A great meal

10. A world full of color!

Anyone have a few simple pleasures of your own you’d like to share?
