My Favourite Things

ByChristie Burnett

I have been working too hard and so today I am taking a moment to stop and enjoy the everyday. Spring is here, the sun is shining and I am so grateful for all that I have. I always did love Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music so here are a few of my favourite things from recent days…

Clockwise from top left:

~ Spending family time with my favourite people  ~ Time outdoors defrosting  ~ Green cupcakes in the making  ~ Springtime creatures appearing in little people drawings

What everyday pleasures are making you smile right now?
