A very short post today on recent simple pleasures.

Elderberry tea. Sweet and sour, warm and comforting.

Throat and cough medicine. My horrendous cough is still here. But no congestion, fever, or body aches

Cartoons and movies. Will be watching Elf later with the family.

Waking up yesterday and today and remembering it’s the weekend.

Having kind neighbors with kids close in age where the kids can go play.

Impromptu projects like this glitter jar created by L this morning. Where she came up with this idea from, I do not know, but she wanted to mix paint, sparkles and water. And add some on top, too.

Any simple pleasure for you today?

    I love L’s glitter jar. My younger one used to make them at school all the time too. Yesterday, a friend made me chuckle when she said she would pay extra for glitter-free daycare. (Glitter does get everywhere!)

    These are lovely simple pleasures, Daria. A glitter jar would cheer up anyone! A simple pleasure that I’m enjoying right now is a caramel latte. Yum!

    Great simple pleasures. Mine will be hopping into the bathtub now with some wintery scents and a book.

    I see Maya’s comment above. Our old daycare did so many projects with glitter which I did not like since it gets everywhere! But now the new place has a sandbox which is worse. Phil and I talk about what amount of money we would pay to get rid of the sandbox. We can’t wait for them to (hopefully) cover it up for winter.

    Simple pleasure for me was laying down during quiet time. I also met another family that is originally from North Dakota (where I am from) at church today. They were from the town where I went to college so that was a good moment of connection.

    Laughing at all of the glitter comments. My daughter’s preschool never did that, thank goodness! My simple pleasures today have been going for a nice walk with my family, and now having a bowl of popcorn while I read blogs. 🙂

    I love simple pleasures. Today, mine was brewing a strong cup of coffee when I was getting very sleepy before I had a slew of back-to-back meetings. Perked me right up!
