Why these picks
You know how you can walk past a pile of old junk every day and never notice anything, then one day you see a rusty hinge that looks exactly like a smiling toad? That's what I love about these stories. They remind us that there's a lot more going on under the surface of our normal, busy lives than we usually stop to notice.
This week, I've pulled together a few pieces that celebrate the small stuff. We're looking at everything from family roots to the weird history hidden in the dirt. It's all about slowing down and letting the little details surprise you. Isn't it funny how much we miss when we're just rushing to get through the day?
