A “simple thing” in my life is checking on my toddler son when he is sleeping at night, right before I go to bed. He looks so much like a baby again and it always makes my day.

that my husband makes dinner (every night!)
good talks
making decisions
sunshine
glorious weather
my kids laughing together =)
Crisp fall air and leaves changing always makes me smile.
Watching my son grow and learn makes me smile all the time!! Last wonderful memory I have is him showing me he knows how to do jumping jacks it was sooo cute!!!
Entry #1 – My husband. For all the drama and strife that can sometimes pop up in marriage, especially after 12 years, he can always make me smile.
Entry #2 – I liked all of the pages on Facebook from my personal account, Jamie Mills Rippy
Entry #3 – I Tweeted about the giveaway as @MamaMommyMom
Entry #4 – I linked up ( as always! ) to Simple Things Sunday!
I have one of the happiest 6 month old baby boys I have ever seen. He smiles and laughs even when he is crying! Seeing his face always makes me smile.
Simple thing that I love…when my hubby takes me out to get McDonald’s french fries…He knows me so well, and I love that he knows what I love/crave! 🙂
A simple thing I relish is having enough time to clean my apartment the way I want to– not rushed, but having the music on and singing as I clean.
What makes me smile…Let’s see….do you have time to read a novel? 🙂 Recently, it’s been the crispness in the air, the warning of fall’s impending arrival.

I talked about your giveaway and posted a link on my blog! So excited!
I FB’d about this fun giveaway 🙂
I shared a link today of my hubby playing guitar – thanks for The Simple Things. I look forward to this every week. 🙂
I love “eavesdropping” on my kids on the monitor when they are playing upstairs. Conversations between a 3 1/2 year old and an 18 month old are hilarious.
a great skill needed in life and learning is the ability to extrapolate. you take the known and try it on the unknown. with one piece of information you have a rule, then as more information comes in you see if your rule stands. so my brilliant daughter went from ‘button’ ti ‘zippon’ (as in, zippon me up please). and in our house, that grammatical rule stands because that glimpse into her mind makes me smile inside and out whenever i hear her say it. skeime (at) gmail

Something simple that makes me smile is how my husband will often wake up before me on a Saturday/Sunday and bring up a cup of coffee for me. Simple things that he does to show his love for me or put me first. =)
As always, I’ve add my Simple Things photo to the linky! Thanks for hosting this. It’s a great give-away, but I love it here no matter what!
I have “liked” all of the sponsors facebook pages except for one that I could not find a fb or twitter for at all, so I subscribed to their newsletter and blog.

coming to work and finding breakfast on my desk…
A simple thing that made me simple recently was yesterday at the zoo when two of my kids(who had been fighting all day) were walking behind me holding hands (which they never do)! It reminded me of them being tiny all over again.
Watching my kids enjoy the little things in life is a simple pleasure. They really remind you to stop and take in the small things in life that are most important.

Hi beautiful!
A simple thing that makes me smile is when I put my babe down for a nap I do so in my bed and lay with her. She plays with my hair to fall asleep and then I get up and do what I need to get done for the day. When it’s time to wake her up I slide quietly back into the bed and quietly play with her face and whisper her name. Then I pretend to be asleep beside her and watch here slowly wake up. She stretches and makes sweet little noises then once she has come out of her deep sleep she starts to play with my face and says “mommy” in a whisper. This is the best part of life right now.
So simple and so special.

I love watching my son play with his friends on the playground after school. Who knew the simple game of tag could be played so creatively? Love it! …Patti
A simple thing in my life today: My daughter got a balloon at the store today. She’s only 1, but she held on to it in the car, in the other stores, and the rest of the afternoon. I love seeing the simple joys life brings a 1 year-old. 🙂
Hearing my dogs come running up to me in bed in the morning!! Love my pups!
I love it that my son, a sophmore in college, still never leaves the house or hangs up the phone without telling us, “I love you.”
Things that made me smile are a good cup of coffee in the morning while NOT being rushed… and when you get a simple wave from a little kid when you have had a horrible day.
That poodle curled up at my feet here on the couch is one of the best simple joys in my loife that makes me smile.
I “Liked” all of today’s sponsors on Facebook.
I love watching my kids (3 and 10 months) race to the door when daddy gets home.

My favorite “simple thing” is when my husband holds my hand. It’s such a small gesture, but it gives me an overwhelming feeling. I’m a lucky wife!
My simple joy is cooking with my family. We love laughing in the kitchen and sitting at the table to share a meal together! It’s a special bonding time for us.

My favorite simple thing is the importance of books in our family. I absolutely love to read, and I am positive that books are among my kids’ favorite things too. I love snuggling up with the kids to read with them and even my little one looses all of his wiggles to snuggle up with Mommy and a book. I treasure each opportunity to read with my kids!

They way my beautiful girls make eachother laugh and giggle everyday! It is so beautiful to watch them play and grow together (99% if the time, they are 1% ratbags lol)
Reading to my youngest son, the only one still small enough to fit on my lap, is my favorite simple thing! Knowing how fast he will grow out of my lap makes it seem far more profound than simple. I know, bcause his big brother and sister already have.
Lately I have really enjoyed that my 2yo is mostly potty trained, meaning no diapers to change and she is so proud of wearing panties. Plus she gets super excited hen she realizes her favorite character is on her panties.
I just like being myself and being silly… its great when you make your own self crack up!
My daughter telling me every day for the last two weeks that her birthday is coming 🙂 She is turning three and this is the first one that she is really in to.
Love hearing my daughter learn new words every day.

My boys giving each other hugs, that’s what made me smile today.
Watching my husband read to our 4yr old son…watching them build in the garage…when my little guy comes running to me when I pick him up from preschool or church….. after 3 and a half years of waiting to hear those words “I love you, mama”. Knowing that God has brought my son so far and He is still carrying him, that’s a huge smile for me
that and more, is what makes me smile 🙂
Dinner with neighbors. 🙂
The last 4 nights we’ve eaten together. Once in their home, once on their deck roasting s’mores, once for pizza at the local pizza joint, and another night at our own home.
Her 5 yr old daughter and my 5 yr old son/2 yr old daughter are all the best of friends. Life doesn’t get much better than that. 🙂

Here goes nothing…considering I’m #494. I simply love the feel of cotton. Bet you weren’t expecting that one. It is a simple joy, though. Love t-shirts and anything made out of 100% cotton…sigh…ahhhh the softness! 🙂
I finally did it, I added a link/picture for simple things!
