Today, Christina of Soul Aperture is hosting an online event called The Simple Things. For every blog that posts about the simple things in life, Christina and her family will donate $1.00 to Doctors Without Borders, to help their medical staff and the earthquake victims in Haiti (maximum $250.00). It's a simple way to help a generous blogger and her family raise money for a good cause. What are the simple things in your life? Post about it! Then let Christina know.

- the perfect cup of coffee
- the pleasure of having my own artroom where I can create anything (without a blowtorch)
