Sometimes you just have to savor the little things in life and this week I took special note of a few things that made my day a little brighter.

The other morning when I was in the shower I realized just how much I love this particular part of my morning routine — most especially using this stuff:

It’s L’Occitane’s Almond Shower Oil.  It leaves my skin feeling soft, but better yet, it smells divine.  I do love great smelling skin products and this does not disappoint!  

 

While browsing through my iPhone pictures I ran across several I took at my parent’s cabin in northern Minnesota this summer.

My mom is a great container gardener.  I love how she makes such colorful combinations.  They’re so bright and cheerful.  They make me happy just looking at them!

This year she started a little garden where they had to cut down a tree a few years ago.

It’s such a happy little place.  It just proves that gardens don’t have to be large to be beautiful.

Of course, a sweeping array of the same plant is always stunning.

I sure wish I could grow hydrangeas like that here!

 

Finally, I just have to share my daughter’s amazing creativity (I’m not biased or anything).  

While at the craft store this week, she spotted the embroidery hoops and asked if I would buy one for her.  She told me she had the perfect craft for it.  When she explained her idea I agreed and then we picked up a few other supplies.  Within an hour of getting home she made this:

A dream catcher!

She makes me so proud!

 

What are the little things in your life this week?  Anything making your day/week?
