Rachel in a Nutshell

Rachel cleaned out the center console of her car today. She found: ketchup, a CDC pen, a Provo bingo card, sunscreen from her trip to Cote d'Ivoire (in 2014), a spoon, Victoria Secret lip gloss (she claims is not hers), pepper spray (also not hers), and five fire crackers (definitely hers).

What little things make YOU happy?

Carrie:
Neighborhoods where the houses look different from one another.
Bright juicy oranges on cold grey winter days.
When Theo prays that we will be able to avoid "dastardly sins".
Naps with cats.
Banff film festival trailers.

Mae calling me "Mama Pig," with a sparkle in her eye.
Chocolate cake.
Hearing kids in another room, playing and laughing with each other.
Ant spray.
Rain.

Sarah:
When Keeley says, "you know what? I like you."
When something makes me laugh out loud.
Spring time
Going to the movies
chickens
snow

Theo:
Board games
Snuggling
Chocolate. Good Chocolate.
When I impersonate Elvis.

Rachel:
Mae singing me skidamarink-a-dink

Old men wearing hats
Waking up to surprise snow
Drinking beverages out of goblets
