{ let me be your eyes }

I find it hard to believe you don’t know the beauty you are.

But if you don’t …

Let Me Be Your Eyes.

(velvet underground)

Caeden will do anything for anyone. Tender hearted, so good to his sister, and the one who blows me kisses as he walks along the sidewalk that leads him into school.

Claire tells me she loves me all day long. Wants to snuggle day or night and gives the best bunny kisses around.

My family grows in number; my heart full of hope and love and the excitement of getting another chance. Another chance.

So in the dead of winter, when the grass is brown and only the evergreens lend color. When the wind blows and the temperature is just cold enough to make your ears burn.

When the less familiar makes me shy away and when things aren’t “pretty…”

When.

When I hear Claire talking to herself as she tries to zip up her coat, “Don’t give up, Claire. Don’t give up…”

And when I catch those kisses Caeden blows as he runs into school.

And when I think of who I get to share this with…

I find it hard to believe that things could be any more beautiful.

Did you know that Papa Murphy’s now packages DIY pizza kits for kids?

Tried spreading the sauce with a butter knife initially. Not the best idea I’ve ever had. Try a spoon. Maybe you would have thought of that without me?

Who knows what this was about. Yesterday she threw a full-blown fit at Target because I wouldn’t hold her.

I wanted to take a picture of THAT but didn’t want to come across as insensitive.

Even Cade asked if it was too late to give her back.

(Don’t get me wrong. We DO love her…and probably won’t give her back…?)

Don’t really have any “after” pictures as I was probably busy eating chicken, sundried tomato and spinach pizza while telling myself carbs aren’t really THAT bad, right? … Right?

XO.

{ fresh air }

Sometimes you need to step outside, get some air, and remind yourself of who you are and where you want to be.

{ pull up a chair }

I love you.

And I’ll prove it with glitter glue, stickers, and all the pink card stock in the world.

Happy Valentine’s Day.

XOXO.
