A way to capture the spirit of each week…

{via}

tasting :: dilly egg salad on toasted sourdough and trader joe’s vegan chocolate chip cookies

hearing ::  babies talking and the greatest hits according to me – aka my old 97’s fantasy set list.

smelling :: freshly laundered baby clothes and burt’s bees baby shampoo.

seeing :: friends and ruby charm the pants off everyone in the waiting room at the court-house.

feeling ::  less lonely. i’ve been surprised how isolated i feel sometimes when i’m just with the baby all day.

wishing/hoping :: for all our big scary grown up paper work businessy business {life insurance, taxes, court readoption} to settle down and get finished with the least amount of hair pulling out.

What about you?

What are your senses this Saturday?

Looking back, how was your week?
