Check the entire “5 things that bring me joy this week” weekly series here, a collection of seemingly insignificant things that serve as a reminder to appreciate the little things — those small joys that make a difference in our day-to-day.

After one eventful weekend (I shared our [not-so-great] adventures on my Instagram stories), we’ve been enjoying a somewhat calmer week so far. Though I tell ya, I’m a walking zombie as sleep has been a luxury and I can’t wait for the weekend to hopefully catch up.

Here are the 5 things that are bringing me joy this week:

• my new Sarah Flint shoes that I can’t wait to be strutting around town in! Note: use code SARAHFLINT-CCMARIN3 for 15% off your first order.

• thunderstorms. Apart from the soothing feeling they bring, I think the reason I’ve been loving the rain so much since moving to Florida is that it stops my wanting of being outside. I love being outside and the sunshine sure makes it enticing when I’m inside. That is… until I actually experience it out there. I promise you, it’s not that pleasant!

• the full (and double) rainbow we just experienced. It’s been such a long time since I’ve seen a full rainbow, and the view sure brought me joy… A rainbow can bring a smile to anyone’s face and joy into anyone’s heart, right? Right!?

• strawberries. Over the weekend we bought some strawberries and they turned out to be the tastiest and sweetest strawberries we’ve enjoyed in a long time. Eating them has been pure joy!

• this particular coffee. It’s something I look forward to drinking every morning now. I can’t say I notice a difference in how I feel, but that might be because I am not getting enough sleep these days. That aside, I love the taste of it, and that’s something.

What’s bringing YOU joy this week?
