My Favorite Things - Morning Edition

I am going to continue to show the love of my house and family today, but I promise that I will show some love to projects later this week.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mornings can be good or bad especially Monday mornings! Most of the time I am a morning person, but there are a few things that make my mornings even better ...

My morning begins waking up to my favorite husband ...

Considering he is my only husband, I think that I am one lucky girl.

By the way, we so don't look like this in the morning.

Then this brown eyed beauty is always waiting on the side of the bed because she is hungry,

but she is always smiling ...

I stumble in our kitchen and smile to this view. I love the doorway between our kitchen and living room, and I am still debating on the color to paint those cabinets!

and then of course this is a must!

(When middle sister and I lived together we would ask each other how we would like our coffee in the morning based on the Jackson 5 ( Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael - from darkest to lightest).

This one is looking a little like Michael. What can I say, I like a little coffee with my cream!

While I sip my coffee, I enjoy looking out my windows to my ...

garden ...

(which is still growing and I am a little concerned that it will all come in when I am starting school!)

and to flowers that I still have no idea the name of them, but love them! 

This, along with a few verses, just makes my mornings a little sweeter so that I can face the day!

What makes you smile in the mornings?
