I took “the Baby” shopping with me today at Trader Joe’s. The first thing you see when you walk in is the flower section. Lover of all things pink, she immediately asked that we buy pink roses. At four-years old, she knows what she wants.
And for six bucks I can splurge. It was a “stop and smell the roses” moment. In more ways than one.
This month I’ll be joining the Nester’s 31 Days, by sharing a daily “stop and smell the roses” moment. I hope you’ll join me and be encouraged to enjoy the little things as they come.

I have a 4 year old PreK-er and an almost-21 year old college junior. Toss my husband in the mix and I have 3 boys plus a new puppy underfoot. I find myself forcing kindness into my day just to keep from snapping.
I love your comment “the days are long but the years are short.” This idea of “smelling roses” is happening at the perfect time in my life. Thank you so much!
I know God has blessed you by your words and actions. I pray he continues to bless you. =)
Thank you!
