Les Petits Plaisirs — Vol. 1
Oh CIder! We love you so much!
Les petits plaisirs. The little pleasures.
The ones that don't make the highlight reel, but somehow make a life.
This is a monthly collection of the small moments that made us stop, notice, or simply feel glad to be where we were.
This month’s petits plaisirs.
1. An unrushed Saturday morning coffee. No weekday scramble. Coffee lingering on the table, a soothing playlist in the background, the kids coloring nearby. Nowhere we need to be just yet.
Saturday morning coffee with daughter, before the chaos of the weekend starts - Lili Powe, Milwaukee
2. The smell of brown butter on a Sunday morning. Nutty, warm, unmistakable. If childhood could have a smell, this might be it. — Sophina, Norway

3. Finding a handwriting recipe that was thought to be lost. The kind of discovery that makes you want to gather every handwritten family recipe into one book before any more disappear. — Julia, Chicago
4. Walking the puppy with a podcast playing and stopping every ten feet. A stranger. A friend. Another puppy. A walk that should take fifteen minutes and rarely does. — Allena, Milwaukee
5. Hearing a toddler call blueberries “blue babies.” So completely wrong, yet so sweet. We may never call them blueberries again. — Sienna, Seattle
