it's the little things: cute packaging and sleeping babies

Man, the past few weeks of very little sleep and a crazy busy schedule are taking their toll on me. I had to apologize to Chris this morning for being such a crankypants last night. All I wanted to do was sit on the couch and eat brownies. I think we'll be doing a lot of resting and hopefully de-crankifying as a family this weekend. 

All that to say, bring on the three day weekend! To kick off the weekend, here are a few of the little things that kept me smiling this week. 

•  Starting off the day with a hearty breakfast. I don't always get to sit down to breakfast, so this is a treat some days! 
•  I'm having a blast packaging up orders this week. I love being creative and putting together a fun package for someone to open! 
•  I got an evening to roam Target alone this week. I feel a bit like a cliche whenever I do this, but it's seriously relaxing. And goodness, the new Threshold goodies are gorgeous! 
•  It was warm-ish the other night, so we took a stroll on the beach together. Chilly, but the sun on my face felt so good. 
•  I'm a little obsessed with polka-dots lately. How can little dots make me smile so much?
•  Si has been a horrible sleeper lately, but when he does sleep, gosh, he's cute. God bless naptime.
