From the yeasty warmth of freshly baked bread to the clean, summery haze of lavender flowers, we all have favorite smells we find particularly comforting. What’s yours?
My favorite smell has got to be the smell of a freshly bathed little 4 year old (I wrote bathed not baked, what did you think??) who is ready for bed in his cuddly night suit and who proudly declares, “Look Mama, I’m clean and fresh!”
After a whole day’s hard work of playing, jumping, running, talking, sweating and a bit of crying, it really is refreshing to take a bath and wind down. It also signals the close of business for Mama who can finally relax undisturbed with her laptop. But before that can happen, the little one has to be put to sleep. Two story books and the third story from my imagination does the trick and the little fellow is soon sleeping peacefully.

Cherish these sweet moments when a story or two will do 🙂
Umm aren’t they just supposed to go to sleep by themselves when they’re older?
LOL funny 😛
They get incentive to sleep with story time, later it’s you TRYING to get them to sleep lol 😀
Can’t wait 😉

Love the smell of my freshly-bathed children as we have a snuggle for bedtime too. Precious moments 🙂
Night-time is a special time when all the naughtiness of the day is forgotten and the little ones go to sleep like angels.
Thanks for the visit!
What a lovely photograph!
The header? Thanks, I have it framed at home.
I meant the one with your son sleeping. The header is out of the world anyway!
Aww thanks so much!
Oh yes, I remember those days…enjoy them while you can, for they go by quickly!
You’re right, I’m trying to make the best of it.
