Our eldest daughter walked in from school today and said, "I smell blueberry muffins"   I smiled as I looked at our daughter,  feeling so blessed to be able to create that smell for her.  I created a smell memory.  I am sure some of you reading this will know what I am speaking of.  I remember the smell of air, yes fresh air, when I was 5 years old in bed with hepititis.  My older sister came home from school and gave me a hug and I smelled fresh air.  To this day, I relate fresh air to my sister.  I relate the smell of Wind Song and Cover Girl compact powder to my mom.  I relate the smell of Brut and Old Spice to my dad. Those are the good memory smells.   I smell corned beef and cabbage and I think of my Aunt Flo...yes, the name sais it all.  When I smell Noxzema, I think of 8th grade...the worst year of my life.  No, I don't purchase Noxzema for our girls.  So, smells are everlasting memories..make them good blueberry muffin smells.

Awww! I loved this. You got me thinking about the smells that make me recall childhood. There are only a few, but they are powerful! Thanks for giving me a smile today.
