Everyone has their simple pleasures. Amelie (yes, from the film) loved to put her hands in tubs of lentils. My husband’s favorite time of day is when Asher falls asleep on his chest in the evening. Everyone has one. Take a moment and think about your own simple pleasure. Just a little thing that makes you happy.
Well, mine is a cool pillow. I don’t mind getting up 3 times during the night to feed my growth spurting baby, because when I get back to bed, my pillow is nice and cool. It makes me so happy.
Except for when my darling husband decides to snuggle my pillow while I’m awake and get it all hot, and oh ugh, drooly.
Then it is not so much fun.

You have obviously not perfected the “dropping the pillow casually off the side of the bed whilst you get up to feed the baby” move. If the a/c is on, or a fan, drop it by the ductwork in the floor or in front of the blower — it’s heaven when you pick it back up and lie down with it! (And then hubby can’t find it to drool all over.)

A couple of my simple pleasures are how cool sheets feel against freshly shaven legs. I also enjoy listening to the rain on the roof when I’m drifting off to sleep.

I like the idea of slipping the pillow off the bed while you’re up. Pure genius!
