Recognition

We all need a little recognition sometimes

Bunny leaves little notes around the house for me

to know that our efforts are appreciated

Little Flower told her pre-school teacher, "I love all my mum's meals!"

that the little things we do mean a lot



all it takes is a little gesture


to know that our hard work every day, our brainstorming, our crafty efforts are all worthwhile

that these are the little things that make a home


a sweet home.

Today I give recognition to Jooles for her beautiful buntings, including the one in my kitchen pictured above,


to Heather for her lovely vintage hearts that make me smile,


and vanilla squirrel for the dear little owl that brings Bunny sweet dreams at night.

Who deserves your recognition today?

  4. Recognition is so important. I think I'd like recognize the guys at the shop who helped me with a flat tire yesterday, because I was dealing with it on my own while my husband is away for work. They went above and beyond to help me out and I sent an email to the company already to thank them but I'd like to recognize them here too. :)

  11. Such a gorgeous post Chrissie, super special. I personally think appreciation is really important and during my journey Ive come across Deepak Chopra who encourages you to each night before you go to bed, think of three things that you are grateful for and it's amazing the difference it makes in appreciating the little things. Emailing you soon xoxoxo
