{enjoying a simple life}

Sometimes I think it is really important to slow down and just do something that makes you happy!! Recently we had a bit of really nice weather and I decided to make a delicious dinner on the grill!!!
I also talked my husband into sitting outside and taking in all the spring views while we enjoyed our dinner!!


Here is my dinner...blackened grilled salmon with fresh mango salsa, asparagus and a yummy salad with organic feta!! Oh and don't forget the wine~
I even put some candles and daisies on the table!!!

Here is my husbands dinner...mostly the same except for the steak and no wine...

Hey we live in the Midwest and you really have to make an effort to get outside any chance you get!!

I deflinately think you should have fresh flowers in your home at all times!! Daisies are my favorite and they just make me smile!!

A beautiful sunset making it all worthwhile to sit outside and enjoy your dinner while being just a little bit chilly!!!
Sometimes in life I really think you have to get out there and make a real effort to do the things that truly make you happy!! For me being outside is where my heart is happiest....
