{ Five Senses Saturday }

One of the best parts of rediscovering my blog again, has been the journey through the archives and the wonderful features and memes that I used to do and completely forgot about.

Like this one for instance, I always really really loved this one and then just let it slip on by as I became busy with other stuff, became distracted by other technology and trends and decided to follow the masses.

It's quite eye opening when after a few years you sit down and suddenly realize that you were wasting time on stuff that didn't add anything positive to your life. Glad I caught myself and put a stop to it :)

But anyway, here's my Five Senses Saturday and I'm hoping to keep it up from this day onwards :) You are more than welcome to join in if you wish )

::Hear::

- Nicholas giggling from the couch with his new book
- The Civil Wars "Barton Hollow".  Love this band :)
- Pugs barking at the neighbor's dog outside
- My husband messing with the kids, they're all laughing and screeching
- Bangs and loud thuds coming from the house across the street as new neighbors move in

::See::

- my plants starting to grow
- my beautiful new butter dish
- the products of my labor after a day of baking
- my kids faces when they hear the door open when daddy comes home from work
- my coffee cup with just a few sips left

::touch::

- the hot pan of cinnamon rolls
- my children's faces
- my soft bath mitt
- bubbles in the sink as I wash the dishes
- the screen of my kindle as I flip through the pages

::taste::

- the first bite into a hot cinnamon roll
- large glass of orange juice when I start to feel sick
- the first slice of bread from the freshly hot homemade loaf
- white chocolate with hazelnuts
- sun tea

::smell::

- laundry drying
- spaghetti sauce in the crockpot
