Today, I'm joining Christina in celebrating the simple things. Won't you please play along?
a kiss
child's smile
birthday cake
playing Barbies
building with Legos
a new, swishy haircut
singing the birthday song
coins on the laundry room floor
reading Pride and Prejudice again
being surprised by a field of poppies
a good book and a long, quiet afternoon
the smell of laundry just in from the line
a warm towel when you get out of the bath
wearing rings on your fingers and rings on your toes
the sweaty goodness you feel after a hard game of basketball
taking a book to the park and ending up napping under a tree
the first moment when you take off your bra after a long day
cherries popped into your mouth straight from the tree
an entire evening with nothing to do but blog
ripe tomatoes, still warm from the sun
wearing sparkly, dangly earrings
the freckles across Sloane's nose
a totebag full of library books
bare feet in dew-damp grass
finding a great new lipstick
a surprise in the mailbox
a hatbox full of ribbons
crepe paper streamers
cherry red toenails
well-shined shoes
vintage bicycles
Pandora.com
French toast
brown eggs
mixtapes
parasols
love

what a wonderful list! and so visually appealing too :)
Oh you are so clever! Your words and delightful, and it looks beautiful laid out like that.
Thanks for sharing, just lovely x
PS Your 'prize' is in the making...;-)
An ice cream cone!
You remind me of my creative students! Love the visual look to your words. We are so similar. So many similar loves! (Vintage bikes!! I need one of those wicker baskets for the Mr.'s mom's old Schwinn!!)
Love the list!!! And yes- I just may play along (a day late, but...)
Happy travels to you dear friend~ Enjoy!
artistic simplicities friend!
This is such a wonderful, wonderful list. I'm smiling and nodding all the way through. Well-shined shoes and sun-warm ripe tomatoes and rereading Austen . . . all of it is dreamy.

Yep great haircuts are fabulous. And Sloane's freckles -- warms the heart.
Your list left me floating!!
fresh, in-season veggies, a walk on the beach (ocean or bay) at 7 pm - the crowds are gone, the sun has lost its ferocity, and the water is peaceful
Your list is fabulous! Let me add my Gypsy's soft fur-and-purr, a sunny quiet day at the lake, a campfire, fireworks, hearing only the wind in the trees and my feet on the road as I take a walk, fresh blueberries (or strawberries or cherries!)... I could go on forever!
Enjoy your time with Miss Robin! I'm jealous!
a beautiful list - I enjoyed reading it as it brought a warm smile to my face.
You have some GREAT simple pleasures, Relyn :D
So nice to visit here. It always brings a smile to my face.
Have a Simple Pleasures Day!
I am being kissed and tickled by your sweet and simple words. Your list is beautiful and filled with rays of sunshine.

Thank you, darling.
Wonderful simple pleasures and to have them come out as an ice cream cone? Even better! Have a day full of simple pleasures!
I call where we live " a bra free zone", we live in the middle of nowhere in a forest. There is neigbors but you can't see them as they are a few acres away. If we get company it usually just weekends. Love your new simple list. I must make another one soon too!
I posted my yo yo project...check it out!
Oooo -- what a visual you have created with your words -- simply beautiful!:)
i too love a warm towel after a bath.
:)
I love you and all you share
Love Jeanne♥
the moment your bra comes off.....sigh.....hee hee...love that one !

love the format of a diamond - a true gem! great song too :-)
Beautiful! And I can't wait to hear about the Thelma and Louise Road Trip!! Happy Weekend!

You know I just love the simple things in life...this list is perfect...I said "Yes!" to every one!
Wonderful list Relyn.
Here is mine - from dawn to dusk
The call of the cuckoo at 3pm
A warm bed to snuggle more deeply into
The mynas (bird) prompting you to wake up
The smell of newsprint
A cup of hot tea
Toast with melted butter
The burst of red on the gulmohar trees, the glistening of green leaves fresh with raindrops
Smiles of colleagues at the workplace
A friendly email saying enjoy your day
The flow at work, the joy of getting tasks done and ticked off from to do lists
A good book to read
Blogs to see
Making friends on LinkedIn and sharing laughs
Waiting for a perfect weekend
Best,
Lubna
LOVE!

What a visually appealing shape your list is!
So sorry I'm late here, Relyn...LOVE your simple things...a delicious mix of magic and wonders...*sigh*...Happy Day :o) ((HUGS))
Cracking list. And also I have been keeping up to date on your trip to San Francisco via dutchbaby blog.
Greetings from London.
Very poetic, Relyn! Bravo!
Hi Dear,
I agree with your list completely!
I have a personal one to add today ~ being told that you are wonderfully freakled like Doris Day! I don't know why that makes me happy, but it just does! I miss you and Sloane and Jeffrey too! Please come back to us soon!
Love you,
Katie
Hi Relyn,
