Happy Thursday! I my world, I have fewer boxes stacked up around me, more and more we are finding places for our belongings in our new home, the daffodils are blooming. These things make me smile. What makes you smile? This Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore recipe was the most popular post from last week’s party so I’m thinking warm comfort food might be making many of you smile!

My features this week are:
How to Best Organize a Walk In Pantry because I am inspired when I get a peek at other people’s spaces!
Style Imitating Art: Sunday Morning because I have always enjoyed artwork by Norman Rockwell!
Be Like a Child because we all need reminders to be more child-like and not so child-ish!
Enjoy the party this week at our Encouraging Hearts & Home Blog Hop!
