Every Wednesday, I take a look back at all of the little things that made me smile throughout the week. In the two years that I’ve been compiling these weekly Bliss Bits collections, I’ve found that making a point to recognize those happy moments truly changes my perspective- even during very dark times. Try it. There’s always something to be grateful for.
The aspen leaves have fallen. Snow is coming.
I turned on the seat heater for the first time this season.
Piglets in a pumpkin! Eeeee!
That’s the way to start your day.
Tacos for breakfast? Si!
Kaiju enjoys the view, too.
Mexico’s hot sauce aisle is so much better than ours.
Pollo!
Grilled tuna salad, made with leftovers and eaten on the patio.
Happy girl.
The most beautiful burrata board.
Have you ever heard of arugula soup? It was divine!
So much interesting art in San Jose del Cabo.
I should have brought home a Mexican nativity scene.
How perfect!
I am a seashell hoarder.
Homegrown produce at Flora Farms.
How we ended an evening in Mexico after listening to the World Series.
Just breathe.
Lap dogs get even more shmoopy when you’re gone for a week!
I can’t wait to show you how I made this Autumn Cobb Salad with Honey-Cayenne Dressing.
Seasons colliding.
That big print is from a moose. After I took this, I met her (and her baby) on the trail. I turned around.
How awesome is this costume (seen on Instagram)? #bobrossrules
Did you?
Post-hike bliss.
I made Onion Thyme Soup! Stay tuned.
One year ago, I had extra Cholula in my taco…
…and we had a lot more snow.
Two years ago, we said “I do” at Sundance Resort…
…and hopped a plane to French Polynesia.
Three years ago, we left Tulum early (thanks to Hurricane Irene) and dressed up for trick-or-treaters.
Four years ago, we were falling in love in Southern Utah.
And this was the view from our porch last night.
You know. Just the usual bliss.
One year ago: Healthy peanut butter chocolate chip mini muffins.
