See that little palm tree soap dispenser there? That was the special present Emily, my eight year gave me for my birthday and I can’t stop smiling every time I look at it. She had 5 whole dollars to her name and she spent every penny of it on that little thing. She was so excited to give it to me and I have to say I’m already quite attached to my little palm tree soap dispenser. 🙂 There was a lot of love behind this sweet little gift and I couldn’t possibly leave it behind when we move home! I love you sweet girl…thank you for helping make mommy’s birthday so special!

If you’d like to join us in the simple things challenge all you need to do is take a photo of a simple thing or a simple moment that made you smile during the week and come back here each Sunday to share it with us! You can find more details about the challenge here.
Just a few quick rules to play:
1. Grab the button below and include it in your simple things post.
2. Link back directly to your simple things post not your blog/website.
(No links to other linky parties, giveaways or craft projects pretty please. This linky is all about the photos.)
3. Be sure to pop by and visit at least 3 other links and leave a comment.
Everyone loves getting comments so leave as many as you can. 🙂
I can’t wait to see your photos & look forward to showcasing a handful of them in my simple things roundup on the simple as that facebook page throughout the week!

Such a sweet and awesome story! Happy Sunday to you:)
Hi! Stopping by from MBC. Great blog!
Have a nice day!
That is the sweetest thing. I’m sure you’ll always treasure the soap dispenser.
Love that palm tree dispenser, too! It’s fun to see what your kids will do with a little money and a present to buy. I also love the lighting in the picture – how did you doctor it?
So special and you can smile every time you wash your hands!
