The Simple Things...

I've always appreciated keeping things simple and uncomplicated.  I really dislike over-scheduled living, or the need to constantly go go go in order to feel accomplishment.  Things like sitting outside on the deck, good background music, enjoying a nice malbec while the boys play "Magic Tree House" or "gas well" on the playground set.  Going for nice walks in the neighborhood in the morning with Ayson while Alex is at school.  Bike rides on the golf course on Mondays when it's closed.  Sometimes it's just simply taking time to enjoy the now.  Whatever it is that's going on in our surroundings.  Like the boys and my handsome husband playing hide and seek in the house, and listening to the boys guffaws every time they discovered a person hiding.  The boys and I planting flowers together.  Making homemade brownies with Ayson - teaching him how to break eggs.  Listening to Alex read aloud.  Enjoying the sweetness of life around us.

Strawberry smoothies after dinner & time together.  Simple sweetness.
