a bit of spring!


this is the kind of day
we have been needing around here...
the sun is out
and there is a breeze happening
that can only remind you of springtime.


i have windows open
and the house is filled with fresh air
and bright light.
a day like today
has me feeling 10 years younger.


it might just be a teaser...
but i'll gladly take it!
30 days until spring...
(who's counting?)

i must share..


my lovey day was sweet. 

this year i told him...
keep it simple honey.


...a little bunch of flowers is all i want...


last year it was a ginormous arrangement.
it was VERY BIG...
and fancy. 

...just not "me"...


and to be perfectly honest...
i do love roses...
and he got the colour just right...


but i'm still the kind of girl
who swoons over baby's breathe.
i'm so simple.
he has no idea how lucky he is!


ok.


back to reality.

i love..


oh this might be random...
and i will use the word
love.
maybe more than once...
 

...and i'm sure to leave something out.
i love my family and friends...
all of them.
please...i'm not naming you all,
you know who you are
and if i started a list
i'd just be asking for trouble.
i love YOU!
okay?


my little family.
you are funny and smart
and you really do fill my heart up with love.
ahhhhhh.....i love you....


oliver.
he loves me and i have such a crush on this boy.


i can't forget sunsets.
i run for my camera every time this happens....
ya. i love them.


my favorite brother took this photo.
it is beautiful,
when i look at it i remember that day.
always brings happy/sad tears.
thanks greg.
i love you.


i love hearts...
every day of the year.
they are just a part of me.
i can't help myself.
i bought this one in france.
(i love it)
xox

time to re-fuel.

i don't crochet...


a little while ago, while thrifting,
 i found a blanket for emma...
the one on the right.
it's soft and cozy and she loves it.
looks so sweet on her bed.


now mind you...
i felt so bad coming home empty handed for  elsie.

so can you imagine how tickled we were
last week to find one just for her?
it suits her..
meant to be.
i love raising thrifty girls.

welcome february....


exams are over for emma
and elsie had a snow day...
instead of just hanging out at home
they begged me to take them
to the secondhand store...
and look who i found there!
sweet little love birds...


$3
why were they still there?
who wouldn't want them?
i always feel like the luckiest girl
when i find a treasure like this...


also today, the girls were in the mood to put up hearts
i love february.
it's another month on the way to spring...
it's short.
and then it's march.
and march it almost spring.
...spring is a beautiful thing...


i think my mantle is kinda pretty too.
{thanks boo xox}


after the hearts and lovebirds
we'll bring out the chicks
and bunnies,
because it'll be spring...
i know, i said it again.
*just a note...
i am grateful for this blog
because it helps keep my mind busy
and got me through that long month of january.
oh the days are getting longer my friends!!
