it's the little things linkup!
After a short holiday break, we're back at it with the Little Things linkup!
Things are slightly overwhelming at the moment-- my house is a disaster zone, Si keeps waking himself up from his nap, and I have yet to wash my face this morning. But I needed to sit for a moment and think on some of the little happy things from this week to keep my head from exploding. :)
I'm sipping on this iced coffee right now and that's my last stripey straw. After a rough night of sleep last night, I'm hoping this will give me the boost I need to get through the morning.
Si has started to reach around behind him for the globe we have on his changing table. Even though it makes diaper changing a bit more of a challenge, I love seeing him noticing things like that and seeing him try to spin it. Also, it's pretty neat to see my own kiddo playing with something I played with my whole childhood.
The laundry is ridiculous right now. Coming back from vacation is no joke. But as I was getting frustrated about it this morning, I realized how blessed we are to have more than enough clothing to keep us warm and how easy it is for us to keep those clothes fresh and clean.
Up until this summer, I owned a beautiful color wheel necklace from the Yellow Owl Workshop. And then somewhere in our move, I lost it. Chris bought me a replacement necklace for Christmas and it made me squeal when I opened the box. Also, how awesome is their packaging??
Now it's your turn!

Parker Penny is doing that exact same arching motion on her changing table...except there is nothing there for her to reach for! LOL.
ReplyDeleteHa! I had to remove the globe cuz he kept knocking it down. He still reaches back there too. Funny!
DeleteDon't worry, my house is an absolute disaster right now too! Oh, I might have to put that necklace on my birthday wish list. Sooo cute! Chris is a good man. :)
ReplyDeletethat color wheel is so cute! props to your hubs for surprising you with that. i got some striped straws for christmas; they make even water exciting.
ReplyDeleteEep I want that necklace, so cute!
ReplyDeleteIts so cool that he is already curious about the world and how you find similarities of what you used to like when you were younger. Happy New Year

ReplyDeleteOh, trust me, I don't always feel that way. :) But it's true! We are SO blessed, beyond what I even can comprehend some days.
Deletethat's what i'm highfiving. that you were not controlled by your feelings (romans 8:8). you renewed your mind with truth.
