+ it was one of those weeks where again i had to throw the 2 little ones in the tub in order to save the day
+ chandeliers in my bedroom and bathroom.
+ my friend sarah’s grandpa made her this valentines card when she was little. priceless + vintage.
+ rocco must somehow knows that his name could sound a little thuggish and tries to dress the part
+ its still looking like narnia out my bedroom window.
+ this hand drawn picture of my grandma is priceless to me. her name was eleanor cecelia. so pretty.
+ and speaking of, ella, who was named for my grandmother, eleanor, turns 10 tomorrow. 10!?!?!? she’s excited. i’m a little freaked.
this week has been one of those weeks that is here there and everywhere. you know the kind where there is major excitement going on in one part of life and the other part your just trying to keep it all together? i have had two little sickies this week. nothing major, just colds. but enough to make for long crabby days that threw our regular routine off. if i’m honest, i’m still learning how to roll with it. i’m the type that likes to make a plan and then if i can’t stick to it, i get, oh, a little off kilter. like say, when i was in high school, i wanted to go early to school and if i didn’t get there by the time i had set, i made my mom miserable (i’m sorry mom). and it’s not the being on time thing really, because, the fact is, i’m always late these days (as terrible as it sounds i think 4 kids is a decent reason for always running 10 minutes behind). it’s the thinking i can get my whole list done and when i can’t than i feel all kinds of bad. i feel like i’ve let msyelf down, maybe. but i am trying. trying to take in the extra moments of little smiles, and munckin voices and realize that is a far better mood booster than checking things off my to do list. so tell me….do you have any tricks for going with the flow? i’d love to know. i think some people are naturally better at it than others but i’m always so inspired by those that have learned or trained themselves in this area.
+ a few of my faves this week +
