So often, we get caught up in our day to day routines and forget to appreciate the little things in life. In my Little Things series, I like to honor the details that are making me happy today, and ask you to do the same!
This to-do list:

and this packing situation:

have made me a wee bit anxious today. And you know what that means… time for another Little Things post!
The little things making me happy today are…
1. Our new lamp, which makes it considerably easier to get work done on a rainy day like today.

2. Thanks to Heather’s tip to sketch out my outfits, this is the lightest I’ve ever packed.
And by ‘light,’ I mean in terms of the amount of clothes, etc I am bringing along. Weight-wise, the bag of bike shoes, pedals and helmets more than makes up for the clothes I didn’t pack.
3. The Food & Wine Blogger Correspondent program I’m doing means I need to preschedule quite a few recipe posts for while I’m gone. I made several travel-friendly recipes so we’ll have some delicious, healthy snacks on the plane.

You, too, can be a part of “The Little Things: Reader Submissions” page! Send me a photo of one of the “little things” making you happy today, along with a short note.
