Love is in the air! My daughter has given me hugs and kisses most of the morning...and I just love it. :) We started the morning off early. This morning my daughter wanted me to read a book called Puppy Love to her. I figured she was getting in the Valentine mood. :) It's a short, sweet book with cute puppy pictures. This morning after breakfast we made two Valentine cards for Daddy. We used glitter, paint, and a few stickers. Craft time is always such fun in our home.            

A friend and I were talking about our most embarrassing moments. Suddenly a list of moments came to mind, but of course there is always just one that sticks out in your mind. For me, this moment involved me wearing heels on a day I figured the snow had melted so there was no way I was going to have an accident. (WRONG) Oh my! I was on my way to the post office to send my deployed husband one of many boxes I had put together. I usually stacked boxes on top of one another praying I would make it to the door without any of the boxes falling. Well on my way into the post office, I turn to make sure I locked the car door, and then continued walking. (I swear what happened next was in slow motion) I slipped with the box in my arms; trying to maintain my balance....it was too late! My goodness talk about total embarrassment!  My pants were wet, and a heel broke, and of course someone was sitting in the car beside me watching. I ended up getting up, and continued on my wa...

My daughter loves doing crafts! Today at the library the kids did a dragon craft , which was inspired by a book about Chinese new year.  “ Creativity is contagious , pass it on ” – Albert Einstein

The smell of coffee fills the room, the sound of bacon sizzling on the stovetop, and my daughter's gentle morning hug. I love weekends with my family. (I'm so thankful to wake to such a lovely morning in our home). “Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.”-Ashley Smith

We started the morning with a trip to our local Barnes and nobles bookstore (they were having a special valentine book, and craft for the kiddos) Our daughter who is going onto two this year absolutely loves doing anything that involves coloring or painting. They read a book, and the children colored a picture, and had a snack. My husband and I enjoyed a nice cup of coffee from Starbucks. Oh how I love weekends spent with my family. I've been doing a few Valentine crafts with our daughter, and she recently painted and glued on a few hearts on some stock paper. I love how creative she is, and I always praise her for what she does. She's growing so fast, and there are times I just stare at her, and I think to myself,- What will she want to be when she grows up, what goes on in her mind when she's playing/or just before she falls asleep. I am so in love with this little girl. She has changed our life in a way I never imagined. All in all today was a good day. I’m thankful ...

Our daughter loves Spot the dog! Today I decided to take her to Barnes and Noble for story time, and to greet spot. Yes that's right, spot showed up and surprised the kids. (They all just loved it) After, they had a snack and did a craft. I also stopped by our local craft store and picked up a few valentine crafts. Today my daughter decorated some valentine turtles, she really enjoyed that. We really enjoy doing crafts together. I can’t wait to see what we end up doing this weekend. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

We recently started doing the letter of the day with our daughter. In the past I have worked on the word of the day and also we have randomly picked a letter of the day out of a cup. This time around I figured it would be nice to go through the alphabet with her. We have gone through A-H. Today the letter is I. My daughter loves painting, so what I did was trace out the letter I and allowed her to paint it, she loved it. Few words we came across today were igloo, iguana, ice, ice cream, and a few others. It’s fun seeing what you can find around the house using the letter of the day. "To teach is to learn twice." -- Joseph Joubert
