Two New Things That Are Making Me Happy

Sometimes, its the little things that can bring cheer to our lives! I found this hanging chair in a local store, and immediately thought this would be great under our big maple trees and that the girls would love it, too! I didn't buy it that day, but continued to think about it.

I went back the other day, with Rachel, who confirmed that I was right in my thinking about it, and I bought it. Yesterday, Tim bought a strap with metal rings on it and this carabiner clip so we could hang it. The strap goes over the branch, the clip is 'clipped' on to it, then the chair is clipped on to the carabiner as well. This way when it rains, we can go out and unclip the chair and bring it in. And the tree is unharmed as well.

The girls both sat in it and read yesterday. I'm delighted with it.

The second happy thing is this travel cup from the Pioneer Woman line at Wal-Mart.

I like to have a cup with a lid, and so I usually keep my large drink cups from Chick-fil-A, but this is so pretty and sweet and will last! It holds 24 oz and keeps drinks cold! The lid snaps down firmly and isn't going to be knocked off easily.

Here it is in my hand for size reference.
