Favorite Things


Take a minute to think about your favorite thing(s).  Imagine what it is like to enjoy a treat without sharing, your favorite book, taking time for a special beauty trick, or putting on your comfy clothes.  Just imagining it makes you feel better doesn't it. It gives you warm fuzzies and great memories.

We all need these moments and things to helps us recharge, remember who we are, who we were, and focus on the best things and events in our lives.  We spend so much time making sure other people (big and small) are happy that we tend to forget about ourselves. Sometimes it is the smallest things that bring us back from the edge of craziness.  It does not have to be  a day at the spa, a personal vacation or a new wardrobe to make us feel special. We are special and we deserve moments to treat ourselves to something even if it seems small to someone else.  We know that the smallest thing can bring the biggest joy, just look at our children.

Recently, I was lucky enough to hear about other mothers favorite things and the best part they were all under $5.00.  Let me just tell you, you are worth more than that, but it is an easy amount to fit into our budgets.  The things ranged from treats just for us, cupcakes/cakes to share, beauty trick for soft hands, clean hands, books, card games,   healthy easy treats for kids, stain removers, photo albums, and comfy cozy clothing. 

So what is your favorite thing(s)? Is it is budget friendly? Do you think a friend of yours would enjoy it?

Take some time to find your favorite thing, write a note to share why it is your it is special or makes you feel special then give it  to a friend. There is no need to wait for a special occasion to celebrate your friendship. This is a chance to share your joy with someone else and a chance to show someone  that they are special and deserve to take a moment to enjoy their favorite thing.
