These are a few of my favorite things...

There is a lot of talk this time of year about gifts. Everyone wants something it seems. It is easy to get caught up in wanting this time of year and forget about all the everyday blessings that abound in our loves. After reading a post on one of my favorite blogs titled what does contentment look like, I started thinking about all the "gifts" I receive everyday that are sometimes overlooked in the day to day rush of life. So below are some of my favorite things, a few of the things that don't cost a thing but mean the world to me. What are some of your favorite things??

1. Sweet baby kisses
2. the giggle of little boys
3. snuggling in bed on a cold morning
4. seeing my husband come through the door after a night at the station
5. clean sheets
6. the laughing and dancing of a preteen girl
7. a long, hot shower
8. photographs
9. feeling my unborn baby move inside me
10. the sound of the bus dropping my kids off safely at home
11. happy, healthy, sleeping babes all snuggled in bed at night
