current song obsession as of .1 seconds ago?: kids (mgmt cover)- the kooks
oh. it is spectacular. please- indulge yourself in this piece of auditory heaven.
i think its brilliance may highlighted by this exhausted body of mine....and my ears consider it a much welcome break from crying of babies heard through out this day. but even still...heaven.
today. i would like to reflect what i learned from today. a new years resolution of mine? to start living day by day. i think all to often i caught up in the future, which although often beneficial, proves to rob me from each day's little things. because after all, its the little things that matter. at this point in my life i have so much to look forward too, i often look forward too much. its like i start thinking of tomorrow before i have even lived today. and really? thats no way to live.
so i give you, my favorite little things learned from today.
- starting off my morning with a coffee date with a best friend, mildly gone awry-ending in a house call with one said friend sipping starbucks and one friend simply in pj's chatting about the little things, is the perfect start to a day
- listening to many the miles by sara barailles gives me an extremely optimistic view on life. .
- after much searching for a coveted american girl peppermint dream recipe with no luck simply making chocolate chip cookies brings just as much joy....and possibly more mess :)
- with that being said, baking with 3 little ones can be mildly exhausting...but extremely enjoyable
- a little eggshell in cookie dough never hurt anyone
- never go to the park without water bottles when you have 4 littles
- i live in southern california and although it is january it may not be a good idea to go to the park in jeans and a sweater when you have to chase a very active 18 month old around.
- all minor injuries can be treated with a chocolate chip cookie...or 5
-actually scratch that...anything can be treated with a chocolate chip cookie....or 5 :)
heres to enjoying the little things. and heres to 2012. xoxo
just got back from a lovely vacation to the beach with the fam. pictures to come.
to be continued.
