Fri-yay! How was your week? I hope wonderful. Mine flew by in a jiffy and here we are again: SJOTW-time.
My mom is in town this week/weekend (it's the month of parent visits around here!) so I'll make this short + sweet so we can get outside and enjoy our day together. What brought you happiness over the past 7 days? My favorite simple, sensory pleasures are below... HEAR: "In Harmony" by Asgeir Another song on my September class playlist that gets me every time! I love it so much. His voice reminds me of Bon Iver and I find this song haunting and beautiful. You can listen here. SEE: My mom Of course ;) So great to see her + see her with Charlie Mae. She hadn't seen her granddaughter since May (!!!) and in the world of babies, that's an eternity. We're so thankful for videos and FaceTime but as we all know, there's nothing like the real deal when it comes to connecting. So glad she's here for another few days! TASTE: 365 Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Sandwich Creams Um, have you had these cookies yet? I think I've mentioned them here before, but they are definitely worth another shout-out. Whole Foods only brings these treats out in the Fall (of course) and I found out yesterday that they're back for the season. But keep in mind that just because they're from Whole Foods DOES NOT make them healthy--these little "sandwiches" are *quite* sweet! I bought some so that my mom and Ben could try them out and they did not disappoint. SMELL: Homemade Quiche My mom made us a delicious homemade dinner last night and it was so lovely coming home to it after teaching and putting Charlie Mae to bed. The house smelled great as she cooked and the quiches tasted even better than they smelled. We used to have quiche a lot when I was young so it took me back to childhood, too ;) TOUCH: Baby hugs + snuggles Charlie Mae has become *quite* the little snuggle bug these days. She knows the word "hug" and isn't shy about giving hugs to her mom and dad, and she also loves a good snuggle on our chests. I've found out that getting an impromptu, un-prompted hug, snuggle, or kiss from my baby is basically my favorite thing in the world. SO sweet. And there you have it! I hope you can find some time to reflect on your simple, sensory joys of the week today, too. Enjoy your weekend and I'll see you back here next week ;) Comments are closed.
