This week has been really busy (as all weeks-after-vacations are), so let's talk about simple pleasures. What are a few of your favorite things? Mine are avocado toast, linen sheets, Alex Baldwin on 30 Rock, and reading magazines in bed. I would love to hear yours. xoxoP.S. Awesome that this photo is named "hammock bum."

Chocolate, books, sitting in my sanctuary (my room), going for walks alone, laying in bed listening to music and travelling to 6 trillion places in my mind, and being naked by myself.
ReplyDeleteI like that term... simple pleasures.
avocado toast!? i've been missing out. trying it this weekend :)
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling the crazy in Ohio too this week (and it snowed last night... can you believe it?!). Simple pleasures recently are tall glasses of orange juice, bike rides with my pup trotting beside me, and fuzzy robes... and family. Can't forget my sweet family!
ReplyDeletemovie trailers, blue-cheese burgers, the first days of spring.
ReplyDeleteA perfectly cooked egg. (which I'm eating right now) Avocado ANYTHING!!! a 12 year old son who still wants to snuggle with his mama on the couch once in a while....
ReplyDeletePeonies!
a solo taylor swift sing-a-long dance party!
ReplyDeleteReading is one of my favorite simple pleasures. Especially with a warm cup of tea or little bit of dessert...
ReplyDeleteyes to Alec Baldwin on 30Rock ...omg straight hilarity.
ReplyDeletea lazy morning breakfast... reading a great book in the bathtub....a long run along the water during dusk
ReplyDeleteenjoy your weekend :)
My simple pleasures list goes on for miles. Right now I love the Spring sunshine, Naked juice, planting my garden, and root beer.
ReplyDeletesimple pleasures: a springtime bike ride, a nap, a bottle of martinelli's apple juice
ReplyDeleteRetire to a beach somewhere and just read, write and listen to music...
ReplyDeleteI just realized that I have not been able to just relax and enjoy my new home....so this morning I woke up a little late, made a cup of coffee, grabbed my laptop-blogging, and watching the blind side.... ahh... defiantly simple pleasure! Have a great weekend lady!
ReplyDeletePedicures on a weekday, my faux fur blanket, a bowl of banana pudding from Magnolia Bakery and a good, juicy romance novel set in the Scottish Highlands...
ReplyDeleteI love Alec Baldwin! And avocado. I also like no fat greek yogurt and snuggling with my boyfriend and my cat while watching old french movies.
ReplyDeleteBooks in bed, french movies and chocolate covered nuts.
ReplyDeleteWatching my dogs sleep/wrestle/run, bike rides with my husband and cheese...
ReplyDeleteReading on my balcony, the sound of my husband walking in through the door, soft sheets, pretty pictures, new pens, my dog's soft ears and Arnold Palmer Half and Half.
ReplyDeleteYour timing couldn't be better. Life has not been going my way lately, and I've been having trouble finding pleasure in anything. But now that I've been prompted to stop and reflect, I would have to say...scoring a deal at an antiques market, a pastry and a latte on a Sunday morning, and the way my bedroom smells after the windows have been open all day.
ReplyDeletei love these so much!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm getting into grating a tomato, mixing with salt and pepper and eating on top of buttered toast.
ReplyDeleteBut also getting home from work and rolling around on the floor playing with my kitties. Cycling down this cool disused tube line I recently found. Sitting on my rocking chair and staring out into the garden.
Haagen Dazs mint ice cream, the warmth of the sun on my back, fleece blankets, shuffling about in puffy slippers, brief random shared moments you share with strangers on the street, watching my husband laugh, looking at black and white photography...the list goes on and on and on....
ReplyDeleteReading in bed, watching a sunset, walking barefoot in the grass, sangria saturdays.....oh the list is infinite!
ReplyDeleteIn fact, here's 100:

Big mug of chai, pratice meditation with my husband, to feel my little dog breathing while sleeping over my feet. Life is sweet!
ReplyDeleteI could use my bum in a hammock.

I love taking the time to think about this sort of thing. For me, coffee, Georgette Heyer, Bertie Wooster, and homegrown oranges :)
ReplyDelete"Alex Baldwin" ... adorable Freudian slip.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful timing your post has for me. My due date was this week, but we lost the baby many months ago. Today I'll enjoy all the things I do have in my life that I cherish... Here are my special treats: my morning coffee, trying on/mixing outfits and accessories from my closet, flipping through home decor magazines from the public library (read: FREE!) on the elliptical trainer, silly text messages with my sister, my Aaron who always wants to hold me hand.
ReplyDeletechocolate, reading magazines and books, laying down on my tummy, eating cheese, drinking water, riding my bike, watching johnny depp movies.....and many more.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely going to have to try avocado toast...
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of the ocean and feeling the warmth of the sun, my 2 pugs (one is black and one is fawn) and bear hugs from my husband.
XO Piper
I also love reading magazines and girly books in bed! I also love eating triscuits with melted cheese on top, drinking coffee in my pajamas, eating Ben & Jerry's with my husband out of the pint and then switching with each other to try the other flavor, and riding my bike to the beach. Happy Friday! I hope you have a relaxing weekend.
ReplyDeleteMy boyfriend and I every sunny Sunday (that we're not busy) have "coffee walks", where we take our travel mugs of coffee and go for a walk around the neighborhood until either the coffee goes cold or we've drank it all and need to get refills.
ReplyDeleteWhere do you get your sheets? Actually, where did you get your bedding and bed and heaboard in general? For some reason, that is one home decor niche I am not great with... I've been looking!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
P.S. Avacado toast, I keep forgetting to try that!
P.P.S. Many of these comments have mentioned old French movies. Any reader advice on which ones to watch?
cuddling when you get home from work, magazines in your mailbox, walking around in something new (preferably shoes), rocking out in the car when something great comes on the radio, the feeling of DIYing something and it looks awesome, chocolate and cappuccinos.
ReplyDeleteOh, definitely sitting outside in the summer with a glass of lemonade!! xoxo
ReplyDeletethe smell of BOOKS(preferably old ones), my mum's cackling laughter,funky cloud formations, wind through trees and rain!
ReplyDeleteyour timing IS brilliant.these are the best things to list especially since im giving my exams.
Snuggling on the couch at night with my husband, my dog and my two pet rats while we watch tv... Going to the farmers market on a Saturday morning... pretzels dipped in nutella.
ReplyDeleteMmm...simple pleasures. This week mine have been snuggling with my kittens (when they're not causing extreme trouble, that is!) and a mid-week impromptu date with the Huz to Tartine. And the spring sunshine, of course!
ReplyDeleteCoffee (and mags!) in bed, cuddling with my dogs and catching up on my DVR. :)
ReplyDeletedancing to the bee-gees with my kids, warm chocolate chip cookies, reading in bed on Saturday morning. there are so many :)
ReplyDeletea hot bubble bath, flowers, and some soothing music;)
ReplyDeletehave a beautiful weekend:)
watching friends in bed, iced coffee in the afternoon (especially this past week), getting brunch with friends, and big, long hugs.
ReplyDeletea margarita or glass of great wine on the patio of my favorite restaurant on a beautiful Spring day, hearing my daughter laugh when I tickle her, making a great meal to share with her and my husband and after a long day of running errands just sitting on my corner of the couch and having a few minutes of silence. It's even better if I've already changed into my comfy clothes sans bra! ;)
ReplyDeleteAll of yours are on my list! I love avocado on toast, with lots of salt and pepper - yum. I could add everything from all the comments. I love taking a nap outisde on my old iron daybed and feeling the sun on my face as I fall asleep (after I've had a spoonful of Nutella) and playing cribbage with my husband as we eat dinner. heaven.
ReplyDeletecoffee, reading, a clean house, peonies, walking on the beach, nose nuzzles with my tot, jumping in rain puddles, family dancing in the living room, nature "walk abouts" in the woods, my hubby's shoulder, french martinis....
ReplyDeleteI could go on all day...
a really good, really hot vanilla latte; that long overdue catch up in person conversation with an old, dear friend; sitting down to a homemade meal with my husband (and flirting while we make it :)
ReplyDeleteI believe it's Alec Baldwin
ReplyDeleteA great book, Mexican food and margaritas with good friends or curling up and rewatching Roman Holiday and The Philadelphia Story for the hundredth time.
ReplyDelete30Rock was great last night!!
ReplyDeleteLove Alec ~~
towels fresh out of the dryer, blueberries with goat cheese, tattoos, harry potter movies :)
ReplyDeleteMMMM...simple pleasures: coffee in a pretty mug, reading in my big comfy chair, watching my husband sleep, and wearing my wellies, even when its sunny:)
ReplyDeleteModern Family, coffee in my favorite huge Chicago mug, curling up next to my husband while he's reading in bed, pointy toe black high heels.
ReplyDeleteI loooove avocado toast! I read about it when you first posted it and my boyfriend and I eat it all the time. (:
ReplyDeleteCuddling with my fat little pug, Jamba Juice (it started in my hometown), afternoons in bookshops. Did I mention I love this topic?
ReplyDeleteXO Katie
Reading is definitely at the top of my list, followed by taking pictures. I love going out and just snapping away. And I love fabric softener. I have no idea why, but for some inexplicable reason, I love pouring the fabric softener. I could list more. I didn't realize I had so many simple pleasures, but I'm getting inspired by the other comments.
ReplyDeleteCute puppies and walks on the river. And beautiful photography.
ReplyDeleteWatching Sesame Street with my 17 month old on the couch while he leans against me and drinks his milk.
ReplyDeleteHot chocolate perfectly made.
The moment I walk out the door to dinner with my husband to go to a great dinner while the babysitter watches our son splash in the tub.
Pulling anything out of my garden, walking inside and using it immediately in a meal.
Standing in the garden in the middle of July and eating strawberries off the vine.
Cleaning out my purse.
Clean sheets.
Laundry folded and put away.
The first sip of a great gin and tonic

ReplyDeletehappy weekend!
a perfect espresso; a long bath scented with lavender essential oil; petting my purring cat!
ReplyDeleteI like that top pic too!
ReplyDeleteMy simple pleasure is my daily cup of morning coffee. Can't live without it.
I agree, great topic for a stressful week. How about... looking at old photos, The Beatles, a hot shower, raspberries, fresh flowers
ReplyDeletesquare photos :)
ReplyDeleteMine would be eating brownies with milk while watching a nice movie with my husband and daughter!!
ReplyDeleteThe view of the sky and the sunlight through the leaves of the mulberry tree in my yard,
ReplyDeletemy morning Stumptown coffee,
pulling a perfect, golden loaf of crusty bread out of the oven,
picking salad greens in the garden (in bare feet!)
Laughing at the llama that lives down the road and is always sprawled in a shaggy heap in the grass with its neck stretched out as though it had WAY too much to drink the night before and just. can't. go. on.
Gorgeous photos!
ReplyDeleteOh 30 Rock a million times over 30 Rock. Such a happy maker. Also, coffee. Everything about it. The taste, the smell, the way it makes me feel. Oh so very good. And chewing on my baby - any part. She's all chewy goodness.
ReplyDeletemy simple pleasure as of late: sunshine!

ReplyDeleteOtherwise - hearing my children laugh.

Low tide on a sunny afternoon down at Bondi beach here in Sydney.

snuggling under a feather comforter in a cold room.
ReplyDeletefresh homegrown tomatoes with basil, salt and olive oil.
laughing with my son.
Actually yesterday I also posted about simple pleasures... for me yesterday it was just going to work in my Nokian/HAI rainboots. I love them so much that I get really happy whenever I have them on.
ReplyDeleteOrange-tomato soup from Elephant's Deli (Portland) on a cold day; reading blogs about inspiring, beautiful things while in bed; shuffling through piles of fallen leaves; gorgeous cup of coffee on a Sunday morning; fresh-picked berries in the summertime ...
ReplyDeleteI think this deserves a post.
hee hee "hammock bum" ... made me giggle :)
ReplyDeleteSo many simple pleasures-- a few of mine are walking barefoot in cool grass, reading (anywhere), the sound of a typewriter, the smell of freshly brewed coffee.
ReplyDeleteCooking, napping outdoors and making out!
ReplyDeleteChicken & Pesto pasta and lying in a sunny spot by the window (a bit like a cat!).
ReplyDeleteAlso, I just wanted to say thank you for putting us on to 30 Rock, it only took a month to get up to the current episode!
Having a little nap in our hammock in the sunshine. (just woke up from one). Breakfast of crusty warm bread with manchego cheese, olive oil and beautiful ripe tomatoes. Strong hot coffee. The smell of the jasmine that grows up our wall. Nivaldo's Brasilian beans. In fact all of Nivaldo's cooking. Our 4 kids. Guacamole. So many things...
ReplyDeleteScented oil bath, walking barefoot in summer rain, smell of fresh cut grass, reading a good book with my cat in my lap. I better stop, because it's the simple pleasures that are the best, and I could list them for hours.
