Keeping It Simple
I’ve come to the conclusion that quite possibly my brain is no longer capable of deep, thought provoking ideas.
I’ve determined that after a certain amount of diaper changing, taxi cab runs, making pb&j sandwiches, and folding clothes, one’s brain may be simplified to that of a four year old.
Oh well. At least I find joy in the simple things.
So here is a post full of simple.
This beautiful, mind blowingly pleasant girl got her handspring vault ALL BY HERSELF at practice!! TWICE!
I am a cherry picker.Why on earth would you buy Chex Mix unless you planned to mainly eat the brown, crunchy things?
I absolutely love Publix’ “buy one get one free” deals!
Turns out, being one is not all it’s cracked up to be.
…..that is unless you get cake and an old Blackberry to play with.
I have had a ridiculously busy couple weeks and you cannot imagine how excited I am at the prospect of sleeping in tomorrow morning. Or at least “staying” in. I’m sure I’ll be awake but if I can just lie there a little, I’ll be thrilled!
Not having to get up, get dressed, and be somewhere. ~sounds amazing.~stacey

Your girls are beautiful. And I totally get the chex mix thing. I was so excited when I found I could buy the round, crunchy things by the bag at a bulk food store.
loved it. way to go on the gymnastics for your daughter. such a great accomplishment, especially when you get it right away! the first birthday is always a little touch and go…not sure baout 1 but i think on 2 i shoved my face in it or something
an old blackberry would make my face light up..but i’m about 30 years older then her 
thanks for the moments that you can share.
Love these frozen in time simple moments
They were great!!
Your mind and your vocabulary will all come back eventually! I remember those days of diapers and wee hour feedings, snotty noses and sticky fingerprints. I remember thinking, “I got a college degree for THIS?” LOL! This is a season of your life, and like all seasons, it will pass. Enjoy what you can, and survive. You are making memories! I am a cherry picker, too, but with mixed nuts!
Congratulations to your daughter! I’ve only seen one or two pictures of your husband, but your baby looks JUST like him! I can’t believe she’s already a year old- it just goes way too fast~
Enjoy your day “off”!
I can’t believe your cutie is already 1! where has the year gone?
this part:
“I’ve determined that after a certain amount of diaper changing, taxi cab runs, making pb&j sandwiches, and folding clothes, one’s brain may be simplified to that of a four year old.”
oh, yes, i get that.
but, sometimes, i think for myself, life really is in the simple things.
and, from the pictures you have posted, i think you are blessed in that you take pleasure in those simple things of life. that is a gift.
lovely little children you have..
happy weekend!
I’m not smart enough to deal with anything but the simple things!
They really are the best anyhow.
Yep, the brown, crunchy things are the best. There is a store by me that sells bags of ONLY the brown, crunchy things!
Your children are beautiful, just like their Mommy!
Enjoy your morning…..and your weekend. =)
i felt like i understood every word about your brain and keeping it simple. and enjoying simple. me too!
except that i’m not picking my nose {are you?} 
and i’ll be cooking tomorrow… again.
like we were four!
way to go reese! hug her my congrats for me. and oh dear. she’s one. already! i think she looks just like brad!!!
Have a great laying in bed morning!
What a precious little girl!
Do you dread the first birthday like I did? There was always this relief I felt to have it behind us. Leading up to it always felt so sad to me….like I was losing my baby, and yet, when it was all over, I felt like I could breath again.
Yay for simple
and little girls
and mornings to stay in bed a little longer!
