Stuff To Love…

on this Valentine’s Day.

Since I don’t actually have my own “sweetheart” per se, I’ve decided that I’m pretty close to being in love with the UPS man…or maybe it’s just the truck. Just seeing it pull up in front of the house, makes my heart pound. It must be love!

I positively love having a daughter that can machine quilt my sewing projects like some kind of magical pro. I mean, seriously–check out those hearts. Amazing.

My sweet kitties–Beany and Jiff–who utterly refuse to sleep somewhere other than my bed. ~sigh…

Homemade potato salad, made the right way. You know, with my mom’s recipe, only I added chopped pickles, which she never would have done, but it’s fabulous–so we’re good. Don’t tell her.

The greatest creation in the cookie decorating world since sugar sprinkles. I mean it.

A boy with a very new suit…who is leaving soon.

Hope your day is full of love, and kisses, mushy stuff…and chocolate–lots of chocolate.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from our lives.

A simple, special, memorable moment.

A moment I want to pause, savor and keep close to my heart.

Happy weekend my friends!

{Nurturers}

“President Hinckley admonished both men and women to be nurturers. He said, ‘How much more beautiful would be the society in which we live if every parent regarded their children as gifts from the God of heaven and brought them up with true affection in the wisdom and admonition of the Lord.'”

A Tale of Two Sisters

Once upon a time there were two sisters. They were very close because they were only a year and a half apart.

They played together and walked to school together and shared a room together for a million years.

But mostly–they liked to dream together about…someday. What it would be like when they were grown and had families of their own? They decided that it would be fabulous and that their children would be the most amazing, wonderful people in the universe. They would be very happy.

And they were right–on all accounts. But when they would get together, still they would talk about what it would be like…someday. They decided that it would be wonderful and everything that they’d ever dreamed of–and more. They would even be happier than before…if that was possible.

And they were right.

Congratulations my sweet, dear sister. I’m so happy that your someday is…today.

May you be as happy as we always dreamed.

I love you with all my heart.
