Today I’m participating again in Liv Lane’s Follow Your Bliss bloghop. Liv writes, “Every Friday, I will share a list of the bliss in my midst, reflecting on moments over the past week where I’ve caught myself in a sense of wonder, contentment, and true joy. It’s like a gratitude list, but rather than just being thankful for the things I have…I want to be thankful for the way I feel – even if it’s fleeting – and celebrate whatever brought me to that bliss.” Feel free to join us!
Messages from my pack of 30 Bliss cards
Here’s where I found bliss over the past week:
- I finished an entire year of Picture Inspiration prompts! It feels great to know that I completed the class.
- My daughter pulled me in very close and whispered “I love you” in my ear. Melt.
- She and I did a Q-tip painting project on Sunday morning together. Here’s how mine turned out… I love it.

- Listening to a soft rain and watching it fall from the roof.

- Enjoying bedtime stories read to ME!

- My appendage (sweet but clingy toddler) finally took off on her own. I’m not sure what happened. She is playing with kids at school, saying goodbye to me easily when a babysitter comes, introducing herself to new people, and even helping to lead this week’s music class (VERY vocal and dramatic with the movements, participating the entire time – odd for her usual wallflower self). I am stunned. Seeing her blossom like this is just amazing. I am so proud and full of warm and fuzzies.
- And some fun picture taking at the butterfly center at our Science museum. More pics to come soon.

Where did you find bliss this week?
Happy weekend everyone!
So glad I hopped over from Liv’s Bliss List this week. Your list of bliss is sweet and poetic. Your photos are yummy. I am going to check out the rest of your blog.
Thanks, Lori. I’m so glad you stopped by!
Does that mean you can take a bath without the little one banging on the door wanting to come in just to be with you? I remember those days. Ahhhhhhh.
Your bliss list really made me smile today. Your photo of the butterfly is just stunning! Can’t wait to see more. Em ♥
I love the Q-tip art. It makes me want to try it. I love the photo of the rain. I will have to ask your advice when I get a camera. Your daughter sounds adorable.
Patti, definitely try it… it took only 5 minutes!
what sweet moments of bliss with your little one. It doesn’t get any better than that.
I’ve been wanting to go to the Butterfly center here. Your photo has *made* me move my visit up on my list. Aren’t kids great?!!! And they grow up so quickly. What an adventure they are! Getting read to … priceless! I can relate to the rain! Wishing you a bliss filled week. Nice to meet you!
Oh, those little moments with a little one are so sweet!
Is the curling bit the butterfly’s tongue? Amazing that you could get so close.
