Christmas Lights

In college, I spent the last little bit of money I had saved for decorating my dorm room to buy icicle lights for our living room. It wasn't much, but having those twinkly lights was the ambience I needed to calm my anxiety and focus on studying. 

Now with my own 2 kids, I've found that BOTH of them need a light or ambience to go to sleep. So they both have little nightlights that emit fun shapes across their room and they sleep beautifully every night. <3 

Sometimes it is really just about the simple pleasures in life that help us slow down and enjoy the journey a bit more.
