25 Simple Pleasures

Thanks for the idea, Jaime. This is a great way to focus on some positives while I'm still waiting for spring to appear.

1 - A standby chick flick like "While you Were Sleeping" or "Anne of Green Gables"
2 - A birthday card in the mail
3 - Stephen's Mint Truffle Hot Chocolate
4 - A PEDICURE
5 - The first outdoor walk of spring
6 - Sacrament Meeting with no children, or just you and the oldest one
7 - When your kids say "Thank You" or "I love you" unprompted
8 - New carpet
9 - New paint, when it's finished!
10 - The first parking spot at Walmart, right next to the Cart Return
11 - Ben & Jerry's ice cream on sale for 1.99
12 - New Shoes
13 - Sleeping in
14 - A perfect picture of your kids, one you couldn't plan any better
15 - A brand new bottle of mascara
16 - When hubby cleans up dinner and dishes, UNPROMPTED
17 - When a male stranger opens the door for you and holds it until your last child is through
18 - When an item rings up cheaper at the register
19 - Movie Theater Popcorn
20 - Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner with girlfriends
21 - The perfect shade of cardstock when you're scrapbooking
22 - When all 3 children miraculously take a nap at the same time
23 - Holding Hands
24 - Freshly laundered sheets
25 - Hearing from my friends....hint, hint!

I could just copy and paste this list for myself! I love it. Numbers 10, 14, and 22 are my favorites. Doesn't take much to make us mommies happy!

Thanks for participating. Ryan has found a new best friend in Sadie because "she is three like me!" We spent some time studying Sadie's pictures. Pen pals in the making.

I like all of these! Hmmm... I just read yours and Jaimee's lists, so now I've got to go make mine...I just can't resist a tag. They are too fun!
