Lately, I’ve gotten into the habit of leaving myself inspirational notes on my night table. Just a little something reminding me to smile, be positive, and to aspire for great things that day. I love beginning the day with happy thoughts.
I’m not sure why I hadn’t started this practice until now, after all I have spent years dropping little notes into my son’s lunchbox and backpack. It’s always so wonderful to get a sweet note in return. Leaving inspirational notes for others is a lovey and yet simple thing to do, and something I plan to continue. I think I’ll start dropping little notes of inspiration around town, in places where I shop and visit. Wouldn’t it be nice to find a random note like that?
On the topic of starting the day with something positive…

A simple and delicious breakfast of whole wheat toast, Nutella, and fruit is certainly something to smile about. Wouldn’t you say?

Spread the happy.

My nieces are always happy to start the day or snack on Nutella toast. We spread on a nice layer of creamy Nutella and then top it with whatever fresh fruit we can find in the crisper.
It’s good stuff.

The toast almost looks like a work of art. It’s funny to see the care that goes into placing each piece of fruit onto the toast, only to be gobbled up moments later.

Are you feeling happy yet?


I love love nutella. I’ve been renaming all my alarms to positive motivating things!
Nutella makes EVERYTHING better. It’s a fact!
My 5yo prefers Nutella over anything else. She especially loves Nutella and banana wraps.

My 5yo is a huge fan of Nutella. She would eat it with anything.
I love the idea of dropping little inspirational quotes around town. I might have to steal that idea. I haven’t tried Nutella yet but it has become so popular I am going to have to now.
These look tasty – I have got to try Nutella! Next shopping trip I am picking some up.
I wish I could get into Nutella, but I just can’t.
The nutella and banana’s toast sounds amazing. My husband would love the nutella and blueberries though.
Love Nutella and you made it look even better. Thanks for sharing.
