    I think you'd enjoy the book One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp. I've listed what I love since an early age and this book is a blessing to me. I think it would be to you as well. She keeps a VERY long list… it's beautiful.

    Your finale is perfect. Coming home and seeing a puppy face often calms down my stress. That face, plus your little girl melt me. Your little family has been on my mind and I hope that all of our thoughts plus your ice cream help.

  45. Kingsley is the cutest. E* is the most precious.

    I hope you're smiling and feeling better today.

    What are you talking about, your tulip picture turned out beautifully! I have noticed you are rocking the photography lately. You are getting so good with that camera! Love it. Keep up the good work.

  61. Jonni

    the great thing about terrible days and stressful times is that the littlest things seem unbelievably more amazing. i bet cup cakes and baby smell and puppy dog kisses never seemed so perfect.

  62. I'm sorry your little family is having a rough time; you are all in my thoughts and prayers. xoxo

  63. What is going on, I know it will get better!

    And I am so missing item #2 in my own life right… spare a prayer for me?

  68. those cupcakes look delish!

  69. i'm craving a red velvet cupcake reaaaal bad. might i add, your kingsley has given me a newfound love for bull dogs.

  71. Megan

    Hello– quick question, if you don't mind: do you still use your Canon XS? I think I remember from Twitter that you were hoping to sell it a while back. Just wondering if these photos were taken with a new lens. Thanks!

  73. Sonja

    awww! yeah! I bet those things do make bad days much better :o)
    Hope this week is much better for you!

    I try to encourage my readers to search for the "little things" in life and feature their lists frequently on my blog.
