sorry j,but i have to be honest here.

you didn't write me the best love letter i've ever received.

nope. that honor belongs to antoine. antoine was one of my students in 2nd grade. it was my first year teaching.

here's a taste of the letters he'd leave on my desk.

i have to admit that antoine had a way with words.

sometimes jimmy will lean over like he wants to whisper a sweet (romantic) nothing in my ear…and i will hear

"you smell like strawberry"

or

"you are so fine"

or

"you is bigger than me". (NOT my favorite. hahaha)

oh yes, that antoine was a wordsmith. wonder where he is today. he'd be…what…17 or so?

wonder if he's still the ladies man that he was at 8. sigh.

or maybe my ovaries? yes..ouch.my ovaries. i'm just being honest here.

there is nothing like a handsome,strong man holding a tiny baby. NOTHING. it makes me weak in the knees.

this is my friend kerryellen's new baby…baby "a" we'll call her. she is a doll baby.

i was holding her this weekend and jimmy's eyes kept cutting towards her in my arms.

over and over i caught him peeking.

so with a sigh i handed her over.

i never would have thought he'd love babies more than i do. if you would have told me that 11 years ago i would have fallen down on the floor laughing.

you know what? nothing in this world is more attractive than a tough man holding a baby. period.

now excuse me while i swoon. 🙂

happy tuesday!

i've been on a creative bender this week. 🙂

wheels spinning, plans being made, ideas forming.

i've decided i want to do a special blog series for the month of february.

a month of "love lists". things i love (interpreted in all different sorts of ways).

february is, after all, my favorite month. and valentine's day is my favorite holiday.

pink,red,sparkle,lace,hearts,doilies,love…what's not to love for a girly girl like me?

so i decided i'll celebrate it in style.

with new posts all month long. projects,giveaways, favorite things, decor, style, journaling ideas,product ideas, you name it.

i asked for ideas about what you guys might like to see on my facebook page and i got some awesome ideas.

do you have anything you'd like to see? anything you don't want to see?

i'd love to hear. i'm SO excited and hope you will be too!

have a beautiful,blessed weekend.

first, i have to share these photos i took a few weeks ago.

ain’t nothing better than a thanksgiving dinner served by a man in uniform:

LOVE these photos, can’t believe i forgot to share them!!

moving on…

we’ve had a tough couple of weeks. today will be our THIRD visit to the pediatrician and/or urgent care…ear infections and pink eye have been running rampant in our house. 🙁

everyone is a bit grumpy and loopy at the same time.

delirium approaching after 2 days off of school and

no one leaving the house for 3 days:

but i knew JUST what was needed to cheer everyone up. beauty salon night!! (what else to do in a house full of girls??)

oh.my. goodness.

i can’t even tell you how hard these girls make me laugh.

and i didn’t think it was possible after them driving me NUTS for 3 days. teehee!

see? told you today was random. i might have cabin fever. just a liiiiitttle bit.

help?

see you tomorrow- i’ve got some christmas decor photos to share!
happy monday from crazytown!
