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. Now, I ask my readers to send me a photo and note about what is making THEM happy today.

Nienke says,

I love the idea of focussing on the little things that make us happy because there are tonnes of stuff in our everyday lives that can bring as great joy if we choose to recognize and enjoy them! Something that makes me very happy is grainy bread. You know the kind: fresh (soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside) and filled with lots of seeds and grains!
We have a great bakery down the street from our house where they bake these fresh round loafs of bread. I guess you can say the whole process brings joy: walking down to the bakery, chatting with the friendly girls who work there, walking home, and then finally sitting down to enjoy my new purchase. The best way to enjoy a good grainy bread (in my opinion of course!) is with strawberry jam and butter or with cheese and soup!
I cherish the moments sitting around the kitchen table breaking bread with my loved ones. Oh the little things really are the big things!”
