A Few of my Favorite Things

As I spend time at home cleaning, organizing, and spending time with my 3 favorite people I have started thinking about a few of "my favorite things" at home, hence the title "A Few of my Favorite Things".
Here goes:
1. the smell and feel of clean sheets
2. nap time - not just the resting part, but the vision of Kambree all snug in her bed with her head on her pillow and her cute little bottom poking up in the air.
3. a garage piled high with clothes that are too small - that means we have made it through another season and my kiddos are growing up and older and I have been able to spend every season with them.
4. Kennedy and Kayleigh running inside with the scent of "outside" looming in our home - now their aunt Brittney absolutely hates the smell of outside and it is not my favorite scent either, but it is the "idea" of it. My kiddos are healthy and they "love" to play outside.
5. the phrase "but mom, the street lights aren't on yet" - at our house you can play outside until the street lights come on during the weekend and holidays but some times I want them to come in earlier and that is when I hear the phrase "but mom, the street lights aren't on yet". I love that phrase because even though we don't live in the neighborhood of my dreams, we live in a neighborhood where my children have friends and enjoy playing outside until the street lights come on.
6. something new - as I clean and organize I love to redecorate. By redecorate I mean moving a lamp from my bedroom to the living room, or moving a piece of furniture to a new spot to make a room look different. Now, I do have a gift certificate to Kirklands that is burning a hole in my wallet and I am sure it will be spent by Friday but I do not have to buy a lot of new things to make my home look new. I know, too much watching HGTV!!!!!
7. My job - I don't make a lot of money and there are some days that I wish I could redo or not have to do at all, but I work at a job that allows me time off sporadically throughout the year. I am given the opportunity to rejuvenate, veg-out, or both and I do LOVE that!!!
8. My best friends - I have met lots of great gals in my life, but there are 3 who mean the world to me. My momma, Brittney, and Jill. They have seen me through all of the "ups" and all of the "downs" and there have been a lot of "downs" lately and I LOVE them dearly!!!!!!!!

Well, there you have it!
