These are a few of my Favorite Things

~Sunshine and light.  Ah... a most favorite thing indeed.

Add to that a splash of color contributed by sweet Aloria and a pile o' tutus, 

and you've really got something!~

~Lupin robbed from the roadside adds brilliance to my windowsill...

....and table~

~Creations of clay made by small-ish hands~

 

 

~Babies that coordinate so nicely with my couch pillows~

~Mud that stays mostly on the OUTside of clothing 

- even if it perpetuates a Mt Everest size pile of dirty laundry~

~I love these tangled, windblown locks~

 

~I don't love combing through the snarls, 

but I love the freckles they compliment, and care-free spirit they represent~

~I love that my kids found a new use for an old toy~

 ~and that I can let go of things in exchange for

grabbing a zeal for life~

~It's one of my favorite things to watch my littlest boy

take in everything that my bigger boys are and do

and work so hard to be one of them~

~Miss Crazy Hair's hair is definitely one of my favorite things!~

~And last but not least:

I bought this sign at a time when I'd been living without most my worldly goods.

I like the idea, to simplify, and try to live by it~

~But by golly! It's hard to do with 9 of us sharing space~

However, please take note.

~If beans are a staple...

it's important for pop corn and S'mores to be right up there with 'em!~

Today I'm linking up with "finding Joy"
