the simple things

Yesterday I cleaned out my fridge. Not my favorite thing to do, but way overdue to be done. Yuck. As I was cleaning I realized just how happy my clean fridge makes me. Not the cleaning part itself, but that sense of satisfaction when it’s done. Plus the happy feeling I get every time I open the fridge and see clean shelves, fresh food, and organization (Yes, I organize the food in my fridge.).


Even though it will only last a few days before some leftovers get pushed to the back and start to rot, something sticky gets all over the shelf and Tate’s breastmilk leaks all over the place, for those few days I’m a happy woman when I open my regrigerator door. It made me realize that sometimes it is just the simplest things that make us happy.




Like having 2 beautiful, healthy little boys to love:



Happy.



For Hudson, it’s even simpler: some unusual January sunshine, the hose and a little mud…..



Happy little man.


For Tate, even simpler – momma's arms and his paci –

happy boy.


What makes you happy today?

First of all, what a sweet hubby! :)

I totally can relate about the clean, organized fridge. I'm always asking my husband to please just TRY and put things back where he got them... :) I use bowls and baskets, too, just to make it extra pretty in there. It literally makes me want to eat my yummy healthy food! I get it! ;)

Cleaning out my fridge makes me super happy, too! Umm...sweet hubby comment! I am visiting from as simple as that.

I host a blog link-up each Friday called a few of my favorite things. I would love it if you would link up next week!
