“Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough” – Oprah Winfrey
Sunday mornings may in fact be my favorite time to sit and write my ‘little things to love‘ posts. As I lounge on the couch in my robe, with Nola chewing on her bone, and Dan sitting next to me, I can’t help but feel grateful for the blessings in my life.
I love Saturday afternoon frozen yogurt outings, the beginning of spring, Pinterest recipes, and chocolate chip pancakes.
I love reading People magazine at the nail salon, watching Sports Center in the morning, seeing a forecast of 70s and sunny, and brunch with my friends and my mom.
I love a new pair of jeans that fit just right, seeing the people I love happy, homemade hot cocoa, and an unexpected night out with friends.
I love wedding planning, good workouts, ‘Bachelor‘ Mondays, and a beautiful view of downtown.
Reader Question: What little things are you loving this week!?

Well, I love the Oprah quote – so true. This weekend, I’m loving long walks, a clean apartment, and laughing with new friends.
I love long walks, too! It feels so great to have a clean apartment 🙂
I love jeans that fit right too! I also love Bachelor Monday hehe You’re shirt is so cute! Love this post
Thanks, girl! The Bachelor makes Mondays so much better! 🙂
these are awesome little things, being with friends always puts so much in perspective to how lucky we are
I agree – I always feel so grateful when I am with my friends!
Thanks for sharing! I’m pretty grateful for sourdough waffles right now. YUM!
I haven’t ever tried those! I will have to make them sometime! 🙂
I am loving snuggling with my pups, the sun shining in my windows, watching both Something about Mary and Eat, Pray, Love last night…
I love all those things! Especially the dogs and the sunshine! 🙂
I can never find good jeans that fit! Stupid runner legs. But I love brunch with friends and my mom too. Great pick 🙂
I usually have little luck with jeans, so I am really grateful when I find a pair that fit!
black leggings and Lou malnati’s pizza
Yes and yes – I love both of those, too!!
ooh, I love jeans right out of the dryer so they’re warm and snug and fit just-right! I also love a good cup of coffee in the morning and wearing my robe until the afternoon because I’ve got nothing else to do.
Me too! I am telling you, I take any opportunity I can to be in my robe! 🙂
I did a lot of wedding planning this weekend! We went and did some of our registry then I went antiquing to get some rustic items for my “country rustic theme”. I’m torn because I want to blog about it but I also don’t want to give everything away to the people who will be at my wedding. Decisions, decisions…..
That is so awesome! It sounds like we like a lot of the same ideas! I can understand not wanting to give everything away. But I would love to read about some of your finds! 🙂
I love Bachelor Mondays! So sad we only have a few more… 😦
Oh my goodness, me too! I am excited to see who Sean picks, but I will definitely be bummed when the season is over!!
I love that I got to see my sister and her fiance for three days in a row! They’re so rare now that we’re all grown up. love this post! 🙂
That is great that you were able to spend so much time with your sister and her fiance! I absolutely love being with family!
Those pancakes look awesome! I LOVE chocolate in my pancakes :).
They were really awesome! I think I will probably always make mine with chocolate chips!
I love all of these things too! Especially chocolate chip pancakes and bachelor Mondays 🙂
Haha, yes! If we lived closer, we would definitely have Bachelor nights! 🙂
The Oprah quote is awesome – love it! I love doing crafts with my little sister. We did another baby craft project with Luke on Saturday and it was so much fun.
That sounds like so much fun! I love that you are able to spend time with your sister! 🙂
I am obsessed with the Oprah quote at the beginning of this post. It’s perfect. I also love Bachelor Mondays (they’re almost done!), good workouts,and basically everything else on your list!
I can’t believe Bachelor Mondays are almost over!! I really love the quote too, such a great perspective!!
I love happy hours with my friends after a long day of work. I love day-dreaming about the future. I love 2pm frozen yogurt runs – even though I know I will eat too much 🙂 I love a random, impulse decision to get sushi for dinner on a weeknight!
I love daydreaming about the future too 🙂 Especially when it involves the beach and warm weather!!
i love everything on this post ! esp those pancakes and finding jeans that fit right! best thing!
So glad you agree! It’s all about the little things in life! 🙂
I swear, I get SO excited if I find a great fitting pair of jeans! I feel like that doesn’t happen that often, so it’s great when it does 🙂 My Monday’s are reserved for The Biggest Loser – it’s my cue to cry along with the contestants for two hours haha
Ah, I haven’t watched the Biggest Loser this season, but I used to watch it all the time! It is such a great and inspiring show!!
I love this post! Sunday mornings are my favorite for the same reasons! I love being lazy with Bentley and T! I also love that Bentley is feeling better 🙂
Thanks, Nicole! You are so great to Bentley 🙂 I feel the same way about Nola. Dogs are the best!!
That pancake looks so good. I need to get around to making pancakes for breakfast one morning. Such a nice and easy treat for the weekend. 🙂
Pancakes are so easy and great! 🙂
That is a great quote. I really need to stop and think about that! Thanks!
I could definitely benefit from reading it every day!
I love that you love watching Sports Center in the morning. Sports Center & the news are my 2 morning shows I HAVE to watch every single day 🙂
I love Sports Center! I wanted to be an ESPN anchor for SO long! 🙂
I love your life! “Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough” – Oprah Winfrey…Oprah’s quote reminds me of a philosophy I learned in class called the missing tile syndrome where a person notices only the missing tile and not the beauty of everything else. This makes me grateful for everything I have when I think I could use a new comforter or I wish I had other decorations in the bathroom. Then, I look around and think, I love everything I have, just the way it is.
You have such an amazing perspective! Thanks for sharing this, girl! 🙂
I love those precious moments when you can just sit back and realize how blessed you are. I love this post!
I absolutely agree with you. It is so important to recognize and be grateful for the blessings in life! 🙂
