“It isn’t the great big pleasures that count the most;
it’s making a great deal out of the little ones.” – Jean Webster
This has always been one of my favorite quotes. I love to slow down and take pleasure in the little things in life. Having a one year old, who is amazed with the world, often helps put things in perspective.
She enjoys just sitting and watching Daddy mow the grass.
She enjoys reading a good book and taking breaks to sing loudly.
She doesn’t care what anyone thinks.
She whole-heartedly loves splashing in water!
Pure, unadulterated, happiness!
I ran across this quote today and I found it to be a good reminder to slow down and enjoy the simple things in life. If you will, Embrace the Beauty in life. : ) I hope it was a good reminder for you too!

What a great quote! I love seeing the world through my {3 year old} son’s eyes- it really does make even the little things so much bigger.

It is amazing how much our children can teach us. This is a beautiful sentiment that I try to remind myself every day.
