Simple Pleasures

I love the little pleasures in life...actually I love the big pleasures in life, too.  I just love to take the wonderful things in life all in and there are so many wonderful things.  Here are just a few of my favorite simple pleasures.   
Watching a thunderstorm (in the distance) or lying in bed with Mar listening to a thunderstorm.
Looking at a beautiful snowcapped mountain (or even better, waking up and looking out the window and seeing this).
A good hug from Rosy.
Memories of Macy being little
Riding in the convertible on a gorgeous day
A good laugh!
Dancing
Golden Retriever Puppies
Charlie Bear riding in the car with me.
*The sound, sight, and smell of the ocean
*Feather beds with down comforters and down pillows
*CHOCOLATE!!!
*A massage from Mar, especially when I'm sore.
*A hot bath
*A space heater by my freezing cold feet.
*The smell of my house when I've just refilled my Bath and Body Works wallflowers.
*A Sunday afternoon nap
*Flip flops
*A friend request on Facebook from an old friend.
*The smell of freshly mowed grass
*Getting warm by a fireplace.
*Laying out with friends by the pool in the summer.
*Going out to eat.
*The wind blowing through my hair. I LOVE windy days!
*A comfortable girly dress
*Snuggling*
*A clean house
*SNOW, especially in Colorado
*Sleeping late
*Valentine's Day.......this holiday just appeals to me in everyway...it's all about love, chocolate, romance, etc...AND everywhere you go, they are selling super cute stuff.

Fast and Easy Rolo Brownie Bites

Happy Happy Friday, y'all! Some of y'all might know that back in the day I had a baking blog. And, by back in the day, I mean I started it in 2009 and my last post was in 2011. I probably should update it and keep adding to it, but I just don't bake or cook as much anymore now that our nest is empty. But, I did have so much fun with that blog. I would just bake or cook as usual but along the way I would take pictures and blog about the recipes. I still go back to that site and get recipes. I send my kids and friends there when they are wanting a certain recipe, too. It's so easy to just send them a link. I'm all about fast and easy recipes! One of my favorite super easy "go to" recipes are these super yummy and easy brownie bites. I first blogged about these in 2009 here but thought I would add the yummy recipe to this blog, too.  Ingredients: Brownie Mix (I use the Duncan Hines 13x9 family size). Rolo's (they now have them unwrapped) WOOHO...

Dresser Redo

I've been so bad at blogging in the past few years. I blog so I can remember. I painted a set of chest of drawers a few years ago in our other house and I loved the result. The only problem is I didn't blog about it so I have no record of what I did to it. I have no idea what red paint color I used. I thought I had it written on FB but I have searched and searched and I can't find anywhere where I wrote the paint color so now I have this wonderful red chest of drawers and have no idea what the color is. I didn't want that to happen again so I am making sure that I write about the chest of drawers in our master bedroom that I recently painted.  Here is the piece of furniture before Sorry about me in my robe in the mirror. LOL! I really wanted to lighten this up so I decided I would paint it white. I LOVE white and thought it would be great SO I used this chalk paint that I got at Michael's. I had already used it on my coffee table and thought it would be f...

He is Risen INDEED!!!

Happy Easter!!! Ahhhh...I'm just SO SO thankful that Christ ROSE and we are free!!! WOOHOOOO!!! I alway love the Easter service at church at this was no exception. The worship is always my favorite and every year I wish I would have gone to both services. This year our church had the Arkansas Symphony up there with them and the music was just so beautiful! All the songs were such wonderful songs about Christ rising again. And there was a huge wooden cross on the stage that was so beautiful. I, of course, had to take a picture but the picture doesn't quite do it justice. It was just so beautiful.    Brandon preached the sermon and it was so good, too. After the sermon, we sung an old hymn that I love.....Because He Lives. Easter was even more special today because Kevin and Macy were with us. This was their one year dating anniversary and they have now been married 15 days! This weekend was their first time here since they have been married. We got to see them last weekend...
