Just A Simple Girl

I have been trying to convince my husband for years that I am just a simple girl, no need to try and move the earth for me, just a little TLC, and not the "Say Yes to The Dress" kind. I find myself smiling and happy at the most unexpected, yet pleasantly surprising things. So as once perfectly stated by a nearly nun, children loving, border crossing Maria "Here are a few of my favorite things"


Men standing in line to use the bathroom

A vanilla ice cream cone from Goodtimes

Sitting on a bench and "people watching"

Walking around Home Depot or Lowes looking at power tools


Garage sales/Craigslist/thrift stores


Trying a new recipe for dinner and my family LOVING it!


My kids eating popcorn while watching me do Zumba in my office


Riding my cart through the parking lot at the grocery store


Reading in bed while my husband works on his laptop next to me


Tim McGraw in a white t-shirt, jeans and his cowboy hat (this is a new find)


When my friends and family call just to say hello


Long evening walks with my man


Dreaming my way through Target alone


Listening and getting my groove on to my favorite songs while I get ready


The few hours in the afternoons when two kids are at school and one is asleep!!


Google-ing all the places I want to visit someday


...and knowing that in just a few days I get to see my Mommy and Daddy!!





(thanks Rachel for the photo)

See I am TOTALLY A Simple girl, no, really, I am!!!
