Beautiful Things

Sometimes the simplest things are the most beautiful.  Cutting a bunch of wild flowers and placing it in a vase, collecting rocks along the beach and setting them on the mantle, taking a sip of wine after nibbling on cheese, lying in the backyard on a warm summer day, are just some of life’s beautiful pleasures.  Vacationing in foreign places and seeing new things and tasting new foods is undoubtedly a joy, but I always love coming back home to the simple, beautiful things that surround me everyday.  This site is about things that make me happy.  Yes, my family and friends are number one in my list of things that bring me joy, but this site is about the little things in nature and the creative ideas from people I’ve met and read about that I’ve compiled.  Being a parent and a teacher is something that I take pride in, so I have also shared some of my insights in being a mother and a teacher, because these, aside from decor, gardening, and food, I also consider to be one of life’s Beautiful Things.
