{ simple as it should be }

Healthy lunch box ideas here.

Liquid sidewalk chalk here.

The most beautiful painting by Laurence Amelie that I wish I could replicate here.

Homemade poptarts here.

Blood Orange Sangria recipe here.

How to wear a head wrap here.

…

Picture above was taken this morning while Claire Bear and I talked about her favorite things.

Presents, the forest at school, shoes, oatmeal chocolate chip cookie dough in the fridge, and strawberry milk.

And things she did not like.

Old games on the iPad, potty training, that I still haven’t found/unpacked her white, floppy eared bunny.

Simple conversations and simple pictures.

A simple morning for which I am grateful that it’s possible for me to stay home with her. To be here after school for Cade.

Talk about a blessing.

XO.

I vote for a Jetta TDI; http://m.vw.com/hi/jetta/trims/tdi/basics/ or a passat. You may miss the room of the SUV, but my jetta is much bigger than my ’05 passat. Good luck! )

I am so humbled every time you post a picture. Even your “simple” pictures;) Love her little fingers, wisp of hair, eyelashes…she is precious and you captured it all. Never forget the blessing of being there. Love.

Dear Val:

Really… the simpliest is the best!
How I wish I still have time to spend with my kids, like this…

Kisses and blessings.
