  1. pine cone cheese - hmmmm. Might need to have me some of that.

    I really, really like these posts of acknowledging the every day things that can be overlooked - but are in fact a blessing.

  2. I am so curious about the lemon-basil laudry soap. Love the photos that you've included and the list of wonderful daily things to be thankful for. I'm a little envious of the washing machine and dryer, but am very thankful that the laundromat we go to is only one block away.

  3. It's so neat to see someone take the time to notice all of the little things that we are blessed with. It is good to focus on these things throughout the day and watch for them. I know a few things that are blessings that I don't always think about like DIAPERS for 1, and laundry (so many clothes to wear), and despite my tiredness I have three beautiful healthly boys to chase after. I love your blog, it's very inspiring. You and Mel got me into scrapbooking and now blogging. Thanks for that!
