A few days early, we celebrated Alena's 3rd birthday with family. She loved her lion cake, dollhouse, and all the other presents and attention. :) We love you Alena Rae!

Two simple joys in this photo:
1. Parts of my simply revamped kitchen: curtain, small chalkboard, glass food storage jars
and
2. Alena helping me make her birthday cake!

We've been changing more of our eating habits over here and trying to eat healthier overall, but sometimes you still just need to make "unhealthy" cookies and indulge in the dough!

A few weeks ago now, my mom made some simple curtains for our kitchen, including this one above the fridge that hides everything on the shelf behind it. It has been a continuous simple joy for the past few weeks!

I just adore this dress that my mother-in-law gave Nora for Christmas.
And my little girl is pretty happy in it too. :)
