the big gummy smile i get from my 4 month old son when i walk in the room…
‘stealing’ him from his crib on saturday morning and bring him back to bed with me for cuddle time
My son’s chubby cheek pressed against mine when he hugs me after school.
cool enough weather for a light sweater…
…the peaceful look on my little man’s face, sleeping soundly in his bed~ absolute happiness!
Mummy duck and 7 ducklings.. so cute! Blue sky and sunshine after a rainy day yesterday. A breezy afternoon – drying out the soil a bit so I can garden this weekend! Pretty flowers exploding out in my garden everywhere, each day! Blissful sigh…
Tonight it was the fragrance of freshly chopped Italian parsley
with lemon zest.
Oh my.

a couch and a blanket and two dogs after a long day at work
each day that arrives! I’m still alive and healthy to live it.
Pumpkin pie for breakfast! Lemon cake for dessert! My husband is finally mowing our lawn tonight!!
A stolen day off work. Resting and listening to birds.
Rocking my sleeping baby. Watermelon juice kisses from my toddler. 100 calorie fudge bar. Loooong uninterupted shower…just to name a few from yesterday.
You’re in inspiration to so many of us, Lisa! Keep on keeping on! Exciting to wait and watch with you to see God’s faithfulness to David and your family in this fath-building season.
My favorite jeans got ripped this weekend. Oh, well. Favorite new pair of shorts, right?
#10- gourmet cupcakes from the new cupcake place in town 🙂
#10 – Sneaking time to check out your favourite blogs. Your’s is one of my favourites for a number of reasons.
#11 – Getting things done and crossing them off your to do list. I often don’t accomplish as much as I would like because I am too busy doing item # 10!
getting all the laundry done! morning coffee with friends! new nail polish!
God’s word
Hugs & kisses from kids! 🙂

“Happiness is stringing together all the little things.” One of my favorite quotes from The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series(don’t laugh…ok, you can laugh). It has become my mantra.
Much needed rain after a dry, hot month.
The hint of fall in the air.
Camping in the woods near my parents’ home.
Listening to my son hum while doing his schoolwork.
All the windows open! the weather is beautiful here. (:
I think I’m going to copy this idea because I’ve been feeling very overwhelmed and anxious lately… I need to think of all the things I love & look forward to vs what’s weighing on me right now. Thank you for sharing! Coffee with cream is on my list for sure!
Brad got out of bed this morning and ran in to my arms with a big “mommy.” It seems those things aren’t happening as often now that he’s getting bigger, so I treasure those sweet moments so-so much.
Praying for you, Lisa. Praying for David and your whole family.
Pumpkin Spice Coffee…
cooler weather down here in the South. great for snuggling!
