gratitude.

Today I am thankful for...

-freshly cut green blades of grass...

-ice cubes stacked in a glass, waiting for a beverage to be poured over them...

-hand made noodle necklaces around the necks of babes...

-pebbles from the park dumped out of shoes - fun was had!

-the warmth of the sun warming my soul...

- a little voice whispering for her mama - tender mercies...

-white puffy clouds floating in the sky... 

hope you had a beautiful day friends!

much love,

~M.

da pool.

we went to the pool yesterday and 

splashed, 

played, 

went on the water slide about 10 times!

then we came home and grilled and went for a evening walk...

the 

BEST!

Linking up this morning with Lauren @ the little things we do...
