I like big and fancy things as much as the next person. But sometimes it’s the little things in life that just rock.
Here are five simple pleasures I’m digging right now.
- Evening walks with my lady friend. Seriously, it doesn’t matter what happened good or bad during the day. But a nice long walk with Kristen is perfect for enjoying. And the fact that Jackson and Stoney get to go, too. That’s awesome, too.
- Morning coffee. Oh, I’m sure there’s a study that’ll tell me that my morning cup is going to kill me. But whether it’s a cup made at home on our french or a cup made on the road with the Aeropress, every day starts off right with joe. (Added a travel grinder to my road kit. Praise be to God.)
- Hammocking. We desperately need a way to hammock at home. But setting up and/or sleeping in my hammock is something I look forward to a little too much. We love hammocking so much that we just bought hammocks for the older kids, too. (Cough, we don’t like sharing.)
- Netflix/Amazon Prime Video. It’s amazing how much great stuff you get so cheaply from those two services alone. About $200/year and you get about 6 bagillion shows. (Just started House of Cards)
- Digital/Print magazine subscriptions. Right now I subscribe to Wired, ESPN the Magazine, and National Geographic. It’s crazy how cheap these are and sometimes I like to flip through the actual magazine… but I also really enjoy reading them on my iPad, especially if I’m on the road or just needing a little quiet time at a coffee shop.

Bonus! Combining Things
A cup of coffee, my hammock, a good magazine, followed by a long walk and a movie with my honey? Are you kidding me? A little slice of heaven.
