One of the symptoms of this pregnancy I've noticed is my heightened sense of smell. I can smell the weirdest things and the normal smells are a little more intense. So yesterday while walking home from work, I started thinking about smells. People who know me well know that I LOVE scented candles, perfumes, lotions, laundry detergents...anything that smells good. But I don't go for the super fruity smells, or the strong smells. I go for whatever appeals to me, which I notice is more the fresh and flowery scents. So here are some of my favorite smells in the world and why:
Freshly dried laundry - it makes the world a better place
"Harvest" scented Yankee Candle - it envokes the essence of Fall
A humid Summer night - the fresh, balmy smell is refreshing after a hot day
Tan Bark - brings me back to playing on playgrounds as a child
Hello Kitty store - Only my mom understands
BBQ - is there anything better?
The night air on Halloween or Christmas Eve - just trust me, it's amazing
The inside spine of old library books - ahh, the smell of knowledge
A fresh Christmas tree - this is pretty obvious
Wood burning in a fireplace - memories abound
I'm sure there's more, but I can't think of any more right now. What are some of your favorite smells?

I love the smell of clean, hot from the dryer laundry.
My mom likes the smell of gasoline. Yuck!
I like the smell in the air of a wood burning fireplace. It reminds me of the cabin...and when Grandpa would make a fire at their house. Do you know what I'm talking about? It's so nostalgic for me.
I also like the smell of eminent rain. :)
There is this weird fruity plastic smell I smell in the air every once in a blue moon and it reminds me of being a little girl. Weird right!?! I think it stems from having a Strawberry Shortcake doll. LOL.
