hello there


every single time i see them
i hold my breath...
tippy toe run to my camera..
snap snap...
and then i wave,
"hi deer!"


tonight while working in the kitchen
i saw this....
and i said to myself,
"you don't need another photo of some pretty clouds"
...i dropped everything and ran for my nikon...again.


elsie spent the afternoon cleaning and tidying her room.


it's the sweetest little space.


i may not be any good at helping with math...


but i have taught my girls the lesson
of how to make a room express your personality.




this bedroom is as sweet, warm,
cute and full of love as she is.



my day was mostly about laundry.
tomorrow is the last day of our winter vacation...
that means monday is mama's first day alone
in 16 days.
i will be making my 2012 list...
and coming up with my "word" of the year.
have you done that yet?

blog friends are wonderful...


the thing i love most about blogging
is that we end up finding what we like best...

i keep going back to the blogs i can relate to.
some of these bloggers make me laugh,
some make me think,
some make me want to be just like them.
i have never been connected with so many
like-minded women.
lots of moms...lots of creative, honest, chatty women.
women i can relate to.
i love how we share ideas and thoughts.

i have gotten to know some of you very well
and i know that if we were face to face
it would be comfortable...and lovely.
i am so glad i met you.
