.Little Things Bring Smiles Part 6.

The name of my blog is

Little Things Bring Smiles.

I chose this title because it is so important to remember the little things in life and to rejoice in them. My reason for blogging is to share my life, all parts of it {including the good, the bad, and the ugly} along with some of the little crafts I make. Each month I want to focus on a few little things that brought smiles to me and my family. I would love for you to share your little things and see if they bring a smile to me, or another reader :)

 Here are a few of my little things from April:

 

- Long walks in the beautiful Spring weather

- Visits from friends and family

- Weekend getaways

- Date nights with the hubs

- Flowers blooming

- New laundry detergent {lavender scent}

- A freshly scrubbed shower and tub, thanks Adam!

- Trips to the new house

- Planning my garden for the new house

- Holding my sweet niece

- Clean sheets

- Braiding Grace and Joy's hair

- Naps with pup

- Fresh strawberries served cut up in a bowl of milk with one Splenda sprinkled 

  over it {My Grandpa always did this for me as a kid and it stuck, simply 

  delicious!}

- Organizing and cleaning our duplex

- Awesome rentals from Redbox

- Quality time with my in-laws

- Desserts {I'm afraid I have a sweet mouth instead of just a sweet tooth}

- Finishing Adam's project

- Trips to the chiropractor

Now it's your turn. Always remember,

Little Things Bring Smiles!

  waiting for a belly rub.
