Amanda, you are one clever girl. This poem is very special as you have so creatively included what makes you happy. What a treasure for Livia to read and talk about with you when she's older.
I loved it.
Love and hugs

Over at Rocks in My Dryer - one of my favorite faithful reads - she has a wonderful, thought-provoking post: Some Simple Things I Find Very Satisfying. She has a sweet little list of things she loves, and then she simply said: What about you?
Well, this is my little poetic list of some of my favorite things. I should note that I didn't include ALL my favorite things - for one, people may not particularly care to know everything that I love - there are probably too many to even mention! Oh yeah - and I ran out of creativity and rhyming... And before I forget, What about all of you as well? I'd love to know more about you and your favorite simplicities in life :o)
My Simple Satisfactions
Family time and prayer together
Keeping close with friends forever
Photographs and memories
Livia - my lil sweet pea
Hot chocolate when the weather's cool
And summertimes spent by the pool
My Momma's favorite Yankee candles
A walk upon the beach in sandals
Pictures hung upon the walls
Unexpected fun phone calls
The freshness after summer rains
Secluded, shady one-car lanes
Homemade ice cream, sweet iced tea
Vacations spent out by the sea
Grins & giggles, baby's chatter
Fresh baked cakes and cookie batter
Hugs and cuddles, lots of love
Having strength through God above
My parents' garden and their flowers
Spending time with them for hours
Sports and chocolate, classic rock
Collectables, grandfather clocks
Cows and kittens, farmyard fun
Outside in the summer sun
Stories passed down through the years
Smiles and laughter, joy and tears
Photography and editing pics -
My favorite ways to my kicks!
