Small Success Thursday :: Little Bliss List

1.  I made my first batch of cinnamon rolls from scratch. Making it even better was that they were made with ultra-rich brioche dough. 


2.  Got to spend a beautiful day outdoors with my ten year old son and his classmates while touring beautiful Williamsburg, Virginia.


3.  Enjoyed several strong thunderstorms while cozy and safe at home with my boys.

 4.  Cheered my husband (on the left) and his running buddy to the finish line of the Marine Corp Historic Half Marathon in Fredericksburg, Virginia.


5.  Hooked up the hose and laughed as the boys soaked one another.  Summer begins!

    I didn't know that people enjoyed thunderstorms. My daughter likes photos of backs too. It just makes me wonder - perhaps, I am not artistic enough.

    Love your bliss list such great moments. The cinnamon rolls are bringing back memories of those that my Mom would make when I was young. I think may need to ask for the recipe so I could make them too. Wishing you another blissful week. xoox Lori

    Such a beautiful week Misty! I am SO impressed by those cinnamon rolls. I miss thunderstorms (we don't get them often here on the coast)...they really are spectacular. Hope you have a blissful week!

Saturday Surfing {favorite spots from around the web}

Saturdays are the perfect time for a little aimless web-wandering and here are few of my recent reads I'd like to recommend to you.

At the Water's Edge {52 Photos Project}

Sometimes I have to pinch myself that where we live, day after day, is actually a vacation destination for many people who come from far away to spend a weekend on the beach. They may have saved money for months to afford a few days splashing around in the waves and relaxing on the san that makes up our neighborhood. I feel such gratitude that I can zip down the beach road on a whim, as we did yesterday, with less than two hours to spare; we simply needed to swim in the sea. It was almost 100 degrees outside and the sun gleamed in a brilliant blue sky. So off we went, while Kai was at camp, to the beach.  The older two boys swam gleefully as I read Bread and Wine and dreamed of delicious meals to make my sun-kissed family for dinner. At one point I looked up and snapped this photo of my view. Then I pinched myself. This really is our home , our daily vacation spot, the place my boys have now lived for longer than anywhere else in their lives. We are living this beachy ...

Petals :: 52 Photos Project

Where I live the Bradford Pears have bloomed and blown and the Cherry Blossoms are in full blossom.  Even though that means our allergy season is now officially underway, I cannot help opening our windows every morning in hopes of hearing the birds singing to greet the day.  Springtime has conveniently coincided with my personal recovery process from knee surgery.  As I am slowly re-gaining mobility on crutches it seems an added encouragement that the weather is also improving and the trees are welcoming my return with their flowers. What a treat it would be to be able to put down my crutches in time for Easter Sunday and walk again on my own! (I am doubtful but one can hope.) Sharing with 52 Photos Project :: Petals
