Things I love Thursday

I love Thursdays! I love looking around my home and into my day to day to find little things that make me happy.

1. I love that they made their beds without being asked. (are they perfect...good heavens no, but they tried and really at 5 and 6, that is all I ask)




2. I love how my old bedspread made my ugly love seat match my living room.



3. I love how a can of spray paint can take this


and turn it into something better (different rack, but you get the idea) to showcase my cups and saucers



4. I love the wall color in my bathroom.




5. and while I was in there, I realized, though it is small I really love my cozy bathroom.




6. I love that February on my calendar has a picture of teacups. I do love teacups.




7. I love that everytime I look at this jar I remember my children loving the beach! It was a great vacation.



which reminds me of this photo which I also love...


8. I love having a cookie jar. Even better that it was only a $1.


9. I love this necklace holder. Why anyone would want to get rid of it was beyond me, but I was so glad they did.



10. I love these new shoes by lindsay phillips. I have been on a hunt for a pair of ballet style shoes for a long long time, most of them rub the top of my foot making blisters so I have had no luck until now. I love them and a bonus is they are cute...and sans toe cleavage which I also appreciate.




I hope you have a blessed day!!!

Things I love Thursday

I like taking a day to focus on the things I love...

1. This window sticker I got for a mere $1 and how appropriate that it is snowing today.


2. I love how quickly her mood can change (okay sometimes I don't love it, but I do love that I caught it on film...err digital image.



3. I love how he played with the left over cookie dough that was too floury to use, but kept sneaking bites anyway...




4. I love this mouse for my netbook


5. I love my netbook, well, at least I really really like it...


6. I love the relationship these two have...I hope they are best friends forever.



7. I love Grandma. She is an amazing woman. She loves her family, all of us, even us that married in. You aren't in-laws you are family. She is an amazing cook, and incredibly generous. Everyone should be so lucky to have a grandma like her.


8. I love peppermint kisses...and even though I pay for eating them, they are so so good.



9. I love how the piano seems to call to me sometimes. I had a nice little time of worship all alone.


10. I love making cards. Here are my latest two creations.




I hope you have a blessed day

4. The way this little guy sleeps with his legs crossed...so cute

3. That my little girl is a complete girly girl!! She is also loving skirts, probably mostly because I am.
