Simple Joys of the Week, April 13th Edition

4/13/2018

Hey hey Friday! Here we are--ready to kick off another weekend! It's supposed to be in the 50's on Cape Cod today (I'll take it) and Charlie Mae and I have plans to go on a morning hike with some friends, so I'm excited about what lies ahead...but first, we need to talk SJOTW.

How was your week? Full of simple pleasures, I hope? Here's what brought me joy over the past 7 days...

HEAR: The Pitch Podcast
If you like Shark Tank, Startup, How I Built This, or any podcast or show about entrepreneurs pitching their business ideas to investors, then you need to listen to The Pitch. It's one of my favorites these days. I love hearing about the businesses people are starting, I love hearing the investors' feedback and thoughts on those businesses, and I love the whole startup world in general. Check it out! 

[Note: I know I've mentioned this podcast here before, but that was a long time ago and I felt like it needed another shout-out. Esp. because I've been enjoying it so much lately.]

SEE: Finished work projects
I know this sounds boring, but you know when you have a super productive week and you're able to knock out a few big projects that have been looming? That's what happened in my world this week and it felt AWESOME. It was so great to have 3 full daycare days in a row and only a handful of extra calls/meetings so that I could really focus on my workload, and it was exciting seeing my recently-finished products being used out in the [internet] world right away. Three cheers for productivity! I'll share some recent projects here soon...

TASTE: Theo Salted Almond Dark Chocolate
I have decided that this is officially my favorite dark chocolate brand. I love every single variety that they make but am stuck on this flavor lately. It's SO delicious and a small amount goes a long way (as does a large amount, hahaha). 


SMELL: My morning cuppa Tazo Organic Chai Tea
I buy my AM tea in bulk (to save $) and ran out for a few weeks. I had ordered more but it got held up in shipping and yada yada yada I had to rely on my back-up English Breakfast for about 2 weeks. I know it doesn't sound like much, but let me tell you, my first day back with my old fave (last weekend) was divine and I've been appreciating my morning cup even more this week. It's my favorite way to start the day! 

TOUCH: Swinging in the hammock
Charlie Mae is OBSESSED with swinging in our hammock. It's not exactly warm enough for hammock swinging around here yet, but I brought it out last weekend anyway and all she wants to do is swing all day err day (which you'll know if you saw my Instagram story last weekend, ha!). And you know what? I enjoy a good hammock swinging session, too, so it's been lovely. It will be even lovelier when it's just a *smidge* warmer ;) 

And there you go! Another week of simple joys has come and gone. I hope that you can find the time to reflect on your SJOTW today, too.

Have a wonderful weekend and I'll see you back here on Tuesday! [As a reminder or in case you missed it: I'm moving my blogging days to Tuesdays and Fridays for the time being, so you'll find new posts those days and not on Mondays + Wednesdays for now...].
