Just for fun, I’m sneaking in here again to share some of my simple pleasures with you. Since there’s only a few minutes before read-aloud time, I thought I would do an installment and call it part one.
1. Bookstand by the kitchen window- This week, I am enjoying page spreads from this book. I have to admit, I take much pleasure in the feel of a sturdy book, its beautiful illustrations and the overall layout. (Strange, I know.) Having an open book to look at while washing dishes is for me uplifting. I thought it would remain unnoticed by the rest of the family since it’s on my little space in the kitchen, but I caught my daughter changing the pages earlier today. So now I am looking at a new picture, and it is very pretty.

2. Fresh artworks by little hands, all over my kitchen- Ah. What else can I say?

3. Teavana- Nothing like loose leaf tea, and oh, the variety! If you’re a true tea lover, you must experience Teavana. I have almost forgotten that teas come in bags.
Well, that wasn’t so bad. See you next time, and blessings to all.

i love a book propped open too….great idea to put it in the kitchen!
