Simple Little Pleasures ~


 
She likes fresh flowers beside the bed.  

She tells me they make her dreams sweeter.  I believe her.

And for this reason alone, I will continue to fill my great-grandmother's pitcher full of the most fragrant and beautiful blooms I can find because it makes  my crumb smile.  

Simple little pleasures are what life is all about, non?

  9. I love this post and I can practically smell those garden roses through the screen. My mom used to sneak in my room on occasion and put a little bouquet of roses from her garden or pink carnations from the grocery store next to my bed. I was always so happy to wake up to that sort of sweet surprise. But what's really funny about the timing of your post is that Emerson and I just returned from her music class and there was a huge bouquet of blue hydrangeas for me and tiny pink one for Emerson sitting on our back porch. Compliments of my mom.

  16. I love this quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson...

    "Friendship isn't a big thing - it is a million little things."

    Although I do feel that motherhood is a big thing, it's also a million little things... and this is a "little thing" that will stay with her forever :).
