It is the little things and we need to take time to appreciate them :)
Little things make all the difference. I love hearing something funny from the person you least expect. That unexpected laughter is the best.
Have a great week. x
awww what a sweet list. This is part of my resolution too, I try to do this everyday. It's nice to always have something to smile about. Have a happy day. =)
We've got a good thing here because I'm enjoying giving hugs to loved ones.
What a great set of goals :)
Sucha good habit to practice. I love the old phone!
just a few on my list:
Fresh flowers on the table
a new nail polish
an email from an old friend
my sons giggle...
Happy Monday:)

a hug from a loved one is high on my list. an embrace that says so much. i hug all the time.
~ Lots of healthy cooking, with a little extra for my lunch the next day.
~ Checking off little home improvement/cleaning projects... FINALLY.
~ Talking more (1:1) with my kids.
~ Sporadic season 1 (got it for Christmas) episodes of our favorite show, Parenthood.
~ Reading.
~ Our beautiful weather.
~ Finally chatting with my neighbors, that have lived there for quite some time (but we haven't said more than a quick intro.).
~ And I must include- taking pictures and finally being able to share them... with my new phone:).

Valerie, your list is utter perfection. I love finding the perfect gloss shade! My list includes:
-Being ahead on homework
-Having the best food in the dining hall all on one day
-Weather that is just warm enough to wear flats with my skinnies rather than boots

spicy chai lattes
being completely addicted to a great book
energizing morning workouts & lazy nights
inside jokes :)
reruns of favorite shows
the return of 50s fashion
going out late for just dessert and coffee!
Love this list! I've been sick lately, so haven't enjoyed too incredibly much about it ;) But definitely enjoying how much my hubby takes care of me when I'm not feeling up to par! It's definitely the little things, you're right....

For me it's a handwritten letter, when my husband takes care of carrying all the grocery bags (and insists) and when he sends me flowers even when I tell him not to.
I couldn't agree more. I've been dominating in the afternoon snack department lately. Actually, in the eating department entirely (as I am waiting at 10:40pm for my pumpkin bread to come out of the oven). I have issues.
I love laughing until my stomach hurts too. best.feeling.ever.

Such a lovely idea :) I love, love, love that last photo - is that at your house?
This was from Real Simple (I think January) and we posted it on our fridge:
Each time I walk into my apartment—even if I’ve been gone for less than a minute—my three dogs leap on me, kiss me, lick me, wag and bark, and show me their chew toys.
I find it inspiring: Life throws a lot of junk in your direction, so you might as well get your kicks when you can. Now I try to acknowledge every small-but-happy event (my kid’s half-birthdays, good doctor’s visits, even when a mosquito bite stops itching) with at least a cheerful word or gesture. I believe that if dogs could speak, they’d say, “You should have a cupcake for that.” That’s a worldview I can get behind.
Trying to live my life like that.
these are great! good for you. they look like big things to me though, or little things that make a big difference :)
I love "little things" lists. So sweet!
great list. The first and last are definitely 2 of the best ever :)
