after halloween, and having young children who are so excited, and want to help, with every single holiday, big or small - they don't discriminate. I find myself wanting to not miss a single excuse to get festive. could also be
her influence. regardless, I am excited for each holiday I get to experience through their young eyes. even though it means answering "mom can I have a valentine candy?" at least 20 times a day.
so here is a little bit of what February in our home looks like...
completely underestimated the amount of time it would take to wrap yarn around this wire. I am pretty proud that I persevered and finished actually.
because 4 and 5 year olds love sparkly heart garland. and so do 30 somethings.
tulips spotted at Costco. cherry hearts and cinnamon lips from whole foods, and seriously I could eat these all day long, they are even better than the ones made with artificial stuff, something about colored with beet juice takes them over the top. and that makes them healthy right?
our rainy day activity. yes we had rain! thank you Michaels. best $4 spent last week.
our love bird. and after 5 months, I put my plant in a pot!
I heart ranunculus.
I happened to have a fantastic aged terra cotta pot, so in they went with a few other lovely reds to keep them company, topped with a wire heart. to me - a front door greeter that makes me smile every single time. lets hope I can remember to water.
love catchers. to capture all the love sent down from those we love in heaven.
hmmm. somebody should wash my windows.
and the screens while they're at it.
really hoping to make some chocolate truffles this week and frosted sugar cookies, and send out valentine cards. oh my goodness I just realized I haven't anything planned for the boys to hand out as valentines. crud. the story continues. what do you think?
hope you have a lovely start to your week.
best,
kirsty
