It may take me weeks to get my life together. I am really usually more on top of things than I have been in the last several weeks. Despite my consistent neglect to things like my blog, and my kitchen, and my laundry, I have not given up the effort. A new week, and a new me!
Valentines Day is very simple in our house, but also very fun. We only had the breakfast to celebrate as Mark would be off at work for the bulk of the day; so I made sure to make it count. I made up our little goodie bags and had the kitchen decorated before I went to bed, so as soon as my loves woke up, the day was ready to celebrate. Mom and Joe were with us as well, so it made for a perfectly full table! We enjoyed French Toast Hearts, juice and fruit with some very simple gifts to remind us that we are all loved. Mark always outdoes me in his gifting ideas; this year putting together a girls day at the nail salon with my dear friends here. He really is the best.
(1) I love long hot showers. I feel like these are few and far between, usually only getting a quick in and out before Cameron is off and running again. I sure do love being in a hotel room and just letting the hot water run, steaming up the whole bathroom, with nobody to tell me to get out and no water bill to have to pay in the end. I love that.
(2) I love My Little School time that I have with Cameron. I am not consistent, and I am rarely perfect. BUT on those days when I get a lesson planned and we actually have a constructive hour together, I love that. And I love all the resources that I get to buy to do it. Keeps my school supply love alive.
(3) I love my day planner. Mostly because it provides all the lines and boxes and spots for my doodling, listing, writing life. I love the spots for quotes and reminders up on top of each week. I love the lists of goals and to dos and to gets I make on the side. I love checking off boxes and using all different color pens. I love the stickers and the check marks and the organization it provides. I love my planner.
(4) I love my neighbors. Never have I had neighbors that I have been able to have so much fun with. I especially love these sunny days when we all just end up on our front lawns with the kids playing around while we chat about everything. It feels so "Mayberry" and I just LOVE it. Plus, Bonus, it makes the time pass so quickly that before I know it, the work day is done and my main love is coming home.
(5) I love the Internet. Holy moly how did we do this before. It has so many resources for my life that I simply can not imagine going back to life without it. Meal planning, kid raising, singing time ideas, organization, printable creative things, date night...Love Love Love.
(6) I still love Budgeting, Office Supplies, Orange Juice, Bagels and cream cheese, good lip gloss, my brown hair, the Duggars (and more recently David and Pricilla Waller), smutty Television like the Bachelor, my faith, my family, and my life.
Happy Love Day everyone!
