OOh Baby, That's What I Like

My last two blogs have been downers, so I thought I'd publish something more indicative of my upbeat personality. I am a huge sensory person and I have some oddities regarding the five senses. I have listed my favorite sensory experiences. Laugh if you want, some of them are a bit strange!

Sights:

1. My children sleeping peacefully in their beds

4. The "You've Got Mail" icon

5. A freshly polished set of fingernails



Smells:

1. My husband's crevices

2. A new box of crayons

3. Autumn in Ohio
