The Small Things Make All The Difference

Good mornin' my fall friends & family!  Wow, it has been a fantastic week.  I seem to finally be in the right time zone & no longer suffering from 6 hour jet lag.  It has sure been a long 2 weeks getting over that, but it is finished :).

Every time I return home I am quickly reminded of how much I enjoy the small things in life... a smile from my niece, a Chai Latte with a shot of espresso, the warmth of a hug from my parents, the cool fresh air [& of course boots]... It's the little things that make up the big picture, don't ya think?  Here are some small, but good memories, from the week so far.

  

 [Pastries filled with Nutella & Marshmallows baked with Cinnamon Sugar & Brown

Sugar on top, drizzled with Sweetened Condensed Milk... Tastier than all get out!]

  

 [My lovely neighbordhood on the fall as I drive home to make grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato soup!]

 

[Always a funny face being made with the bro]

       

 [Starbucks with Bells & creating a rock wall, teehee]

 [Pumpkin Ale with Brown Sugar Rimming &

my beautiful new Steve Madden boots!!! I couldn't be more stoked about them ;) ]

Now if I do say this makes for a pretty good week entering into fall.  Wouldn't you agree?
Proverbs 13:7 reads a pretty great verse about living simply... Here it is in The Message:

A pretentious, showy life is an empty life;
   a plain and simple life is a full life. 

Have a beautiful day & remember to appreciate the small things & to count your blessings :)

Little Tea Cups

Hello my little teacups :)  I will happily admit to you my obsession with teacups.  I love everything about them.  All the sizes, all the shapes.  I love their delicacy and beauty.  To me, if you have a perfect teacup, it makes your tea taste even better.  I have recently found some incredible ways to not only drink out of your teacup, but also decorate with it!  Enjoy the art, the photography, the creations, & the beauty of these delicate beauties.

i heart thursdays!

Hello friends!  How is your week going thus far?  Mine is going fantastic!  I had the privilege of packing all of my stuff up (again) to move.  So that is exciting.  I always love transitioning because it means a new season, new people, new adventures, & new challenges to create new victories.  Exciting isn't it?

I have been getting great responses on i heart thursdays! and I just want to thank all of you who have written me, commented, continued to come back, or just simply look once in a while.  It's so good to have your support.  Enjoy!
