The subtitle gives quite a good idea of the types of things you\u2019re going to find in this book \u2014 Snow Days, Bakery Air, Finding Money in Your Pocket, and Other Simple, Brilliant Things \u2014 but there are just WAY too many awesome things for a simple summary to reveal just how awesome this book is.\u00a0\u00a0Entries range from a few sentences to a few pages, and there are a lot of photos to illustrate the awesome topics at hand. \u00a0I loved that the author had such a positive outlook and that he found beauty in so many simple things. \u00a0I also loved that the entries were short enough that I could grab this book and read a bit even when I knew I would soon be interrupted \u2014 like in the doctor\u2019s office waiting room, while waiting for dinner to finish baking, and when my kids were playing in the bath just to name a few. \u00a0Some of my favorites include finding extra fries in the bottom of the bag, illegal naps, and getting gas right before the price goes up (which actually happened to me about 2 days before I read that entry!). \u00a0Not quite sold on this book yet? \u00a0Try checking out his blog \u2014 http:\/\/1000awesomethings.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
