1) strawberry picking time with my girls this afternoon…this has become a summertime tradition for us & I absolutely love it! We picked 20lbs, just the three of us! And they’re oh so yummy

2) big smooches on little girl cheeks. Scrumptious.

3) the sound of rain

4) clam steamers cooked in garlic/white wine yumminess

5) an amazing new recipe I tried this evening…so so good–risotto with asparagus, snow peas, squash, Parmesan, shallots, white wine, lemon–so delicious

6) a brand new book that I can’t wait to read

7) good friends

8) how sweetly my girls played together this evening…I so appreciate it when they enjoy each other (something I definitely don’t take for granted)

9) a little time to have a conversation with my husband without 2 dozen interruptions

10) Kleenex…I swear I’ve used two hundred today (serious allergies)

11) sleeping, cozy cat at my feet. I adore her
