This is one of my favorite quotes... by Robert Brault... "Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things."
I think girls really know how to make time for the little things... and enjoy them with all their ♥ as always, thank you for the sweetness here at Bluebird Notes, Koralee* ~Maria
What a sweat plate and thanx for your lovely words on my blog. My treat today was to look at the (dutch) movie: Brideflight, a romantic story in the 50's, off dutch young people who went to austalia to get a new life. greetings, jolanda
My sweet little girlie-girl was running through our neighborhood streets playing shoot em up with the boys yesterday, sock footed and all! Yeah Canada on the first gold win on home turf by the way....we were rooting for you and I shed many tears watching it all this weekend (talk about being a girlie girl).
Oh, this was so lovely. This is a funny thing to say but I never appreciated and embraced being a girl until I was in college. Suddenly I recognized it for the sweet gift it is...to embrace my femininity that is gloriously God given, that I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I need to remember that often. And I want to teach my daughters the same thing. To be who God made them to be, to love being a girl. Koralee, do you have any idea how your posts, in their simplicity, are thought provoking and bless others so much? Because they bless me. Off to embrace my girly girls...my daily sweet treats...
YOUR POST IS CHARMING, AND TODAY MY LITTLE TREAT IS, I WILL OPEN MY BOX OF VALENTINE CANDY, AND HAVE ONE, OR TWO, OR, WELL, MAYBE THREE. :) HUGS AND LOLLYPOPS, RIZZI
Girlie Girl...You are indeed one of the Girliest Girls I have ever had the pleasure to know...and I luuuv it! Your dreamy mind just treats us all...everyday! Thank you Koralee. Can you believe my post is about SWEETS & TREATS too! Sweet Minds think alike!!!! ;o) Let me see...what have I treated myself too today besides popping over here...well...it is only 9:25 a.m. but I awoke to blue sky and SUN beaming through the dampness...which was a true treat! Now I am enjoying another one of those fabulous cups of HAPPY with the whipped cream on top...no sprinkles til the weekend! Glad that squirt whipped cream only has a few calories!! Oh...and I treated Doogan to squirt whipped cream in his KONG toy! ;o) xxooxx Did you get my response to your email Koralee...I had a couple of questions about the biopsy. I will email you again. xxoox
I love these pictures...so pretty! Makes me want to go to the store right now and get some of those. I am trying not to treat myself too much..had way too much of that all weekend! :D
Dear Koralee, I love sprinkles....I can't remember when I last had them. They bring back so many memories of my childhood. I am going to buy some tomorrow so that I can pour some in my hand and have a sweet treat every so often !! XXXX
Definitely girls only! Very sweet. I'm not an overly girly girl...I seem to be missing that gene. I love reading your blog though, as it brings more of the girl out in me!
Hi Koralee. This is Paige from Where Women Create Magazine. Could you please email me at Paige(at)wherewomencreate(dot)com? Thank you! We just love your blog! Have a great day:)
Have been following you for a little while now and want to say thank you for your beautiful photos and your wonderful thoughts. I am in a huge transition in my life right now and it is just one day at a time and I enjoy all the inspiration that others have to share. I use my blog as somewhat of a gratitude journal and as my eye on the prize so to speak and I love women who inspire which in turn empowers others. Many do not realize the impact that they have and I just wanted to share your little impact on me. Thank You and keep sharing those beautiful pics. Always, Shelly http://featherednestfarm.blogspot.com/
Two of my favorite things, roses and sprinkles. I think we should put sprinkles on everything. Just the idea that your ready for something special when the sprinkles are in hand. Have a truly blessed day!
Koralee..I love that quote! Thanks or sharing :) I have to say....your blog feels like a little dose of "treats" every time I read a new post!
As I read, I'm curled up in bed with a snuggly baby boy and a box of Godiva truffles ( from my sweet husband). Doesn't get much better than that, right? ;)
Hi Koralee, most loveliest post again. Sweet Iris was a very clever lady! I love these words. They are so, so true. Today I received a brownie in a gorgeous golden box with a beautiful ribbon. ' This is what you miss by not attending the meeting, tonight', written on the cutest little card. The conservation I had with my two oldest children about please-go-to-bedtime. Their cute but great arguments made me laugh inside... This morning I treated myself, besides Illy coffee beans and muesli, with a sweet bouquet of pink/purple tulips. I can truly enjoy those beautiful flowers and colors whole week long!
I'm off to google Iris Murdoch .... You just keep enjoying the Olympics! Saskia xo
My sweet treat has been peanut butter M&M's lately. Can't get enough of them though I don't eat the blue ones (don't ask, I don't know why) My husband eats those~♥
Hello darling, I like this iris murdoch person, what is life without sweet treats. I have been real good to myself today...fig biscuits, tiny slive of red velvet cake and a piece of coconut candy!! Have a sweet day sweetie.
i'm really, really glad i'm a girl. :) and i think i might have a glass of water after a long run. not really a treat but i really couldn't think of anything else to say.
A delicious piece of strawberry mousse birthday cake this morning at about 10 a.m.( morning snack time at school) to celebrate one of our delightful little girls who turned 5 today!! Always so special to celebrate being a girl at any age!! Cheers Debbie :)
Dearest Koralee, i too adore the sweetness of being a girl! So many many pretty lovely sweet things just for us! :) I aodre your gorgeous photos and your plate is always soooo sooo groegeous! Thank you so much for your lovely lovely well wishes on my "Hearts and sweetness" post! Made me sooo soo happy! Have a lovely merry happy day and love to you!
Very simply put and I so agree.There are so many things to enjoy, I think we are the lucky ones for sure. I am new to your blog and it is just lovely, I can tell it will be a new favorite of mine to visit each day. I just started a new blog myself so I am learning to appreciate all the energy that goes into doing a blog. So far I love it and the opportunity to meet other kindred spirits has been so fun for me.

Hello, Koralee, I do enjoy sugar and spice and everything nice about being a girl!! I always treat myself to a hot cup of Starbuck's coffee on my way to tutoring. I know you are having a wonderful time at the Olympics! I have been watching the events every evening here at my home. I hope you are having a lovely week! Vicki

What a delightful post, Koralee. Are those marshmallows? They look delicious with the candy sprinkles.
I love being a girl. We are so lucky. We share our feelings and we can get excited over candied marshmallows. How great is that?
