I love my home. Even when it’s dirty or turned upside down, home is still home.
Last week I was inspired by 3 things that made me even happier in my home.
Beauty
I took a favorite long white dish (thank you, Hoppi!)

Bought 4 primroses at the grocery store.

One of my favorite things is bringing a bit of Spring into my home.

Food
My neighbor Ellie did it again. She returned our plate full of yumminess (love the way she always lets us know what we are eating!)

One of may favorite things is having awesome neighbors who share.

A friend also brought a meal over and fed our family – easy … no returning the dishes.

Friendship
And then a card came in the mail. Just when I needed it. A hand-written card with a handwritten note of encouragement, from a friend … just because.

Sometimes I find myself dreaming about bigger things (trying not to get caught up in “If Only …”).
But then I remind myself that it’s the simple things in life that bring joy.
Have you reached out to a friend lately with food or a card, or even purchased flowers for yourself?






Hi, I'm Sandy. Five years ago I stocked up on beautiful glasses from the Dollar Store. As I started writing about dinner parties, I realized that this “icon” portrays a great message. It says that dinner parties are attainable, they are affordable, and that they can be beautiful even when on a budget.
