This little Redwing pitcher, a “pre-inheritance” birthday gift from my husband’s sweet grandmother.

This tiny tissue, which my nineteen-month-old gave me when I was having a hard day. I find it amazing to be the recipient of empathy from my small children.

This shampoo and conditioner, because I wanted to try something new and I’m really happy with it.

This after-Easter-sale candy, because I rarely buy candy, but sometimes it’s a fun treat. My girls were elated. When they hear me opening one of the little bags, they come running into the kitchen, like kittens drawn by a can opener!

These SmartWool socks, a much-rejoiced-over gift from my mother-in-law + cozy, ripped-up jeans for a relaxed weekend.

Happy weekend!
