another bucket list item fulfilled + winners

This photo I took of my brother Benjamin in Seattle last summer was included in group one of Pioneer Woman's photography challenge for brothers. This has been a life long goal of mine (okay, well, ever since I discovered PW) and it makes me so happy. And this photo is definitely a personal favorite of mine (because this guy is crazy-awesome, because his sunglasses are my favorite, because I love Seattle muchly, because that trip was amazing, and because having big brothers to look up to (literally) is just the best.)

I had so much fun reading about all of your favorite smells. I'm pretty sure the most popular smells were:

• vanilla (especially the Bath and Body Works Warm Vanilla Sugar scent--I totally agree!)
• fresh-cut grass (YES! Just in the past few days I have had the pleasure of hanging my head out of the car window and sniffing mowed lawns so hard that it hurts)
• fresh-baked bread/cookies (absolutely!)

And an answer that I especially loved:

"Actually, the smell of cherry blossoms is one of my top favorites. 

It reminds me of the days in spring where I go out and ignore the neighbors as I gather up handfuls and throw them into the air to shower down over me. . . Usually accompanied by singing and spontaneous bouts of giggles. . . "
