[a few thingies here and there from over the last week]
1. fresh flowers all. of. the. time. make me so so happy.
2. as does having a baby girl who’s so fancy [you already knooow!] i love when she accessorizes on her own. it’s pretty much flawless.
3. i decided to finally see what the saltwater wearing club was all about, after hearing so many rave reviews! madd already has some and i was looking for something cutesier than my rainbows but hardier than my target sandals for when i’m tromping around the farm and such. i know people are all, “they mold to your feet!” but… i guess i’ll just have to see, because i’m still working on that part. and really, they aren’t anywhere near as comfortable as rainbows, but they are a little snazzier! so, the gold ones are now finding their rightful place in my summer wardrobe. and in maddalena’s apparently. π
4. i cannot believe how much chunkier my casey boy is compared to how skinny he got over the winter. i worried about that boy for months, so i’m certainly thankful he put on weight! but now he and comet are kinda out there chubbin! i’m thiiinking we need to saddle up one evening soon…
5. i seriously wonder what on earth we eat all winter long considering the amount of grilling we do in the summertime! i mean. it totally doesn’t hurt to be married to a fabulous griller like steven.
6. finally got around to baking up a little blackberry cobbler using the literal fruit of my labor! wahoo! it was the cobbler that almost didn’t happen, though, because i had to rush to the grocery store for some ingredients, only to come home and realize i was out of flour! but thank goodness for sweet neighbors. i felt so perfectly like a real neighbor wife sending steven next door to ask for a cup of flour! isn’t that so real? made me want to watch desperate housewives. i loved that show. til it got ridiculous, but shows, they always seem to do that now, don’t they?
but hey! anyway! so thankful for these little bitty things lately. it’s easy to forget that every happy moment is a gift from the good Lord, and certainly not something to take for granted. life is short, you know! smell the roses. carry two purses. make ya some dessert. then maybe dance it off. π

If saltwaters are anything like birkenstocks it'll take a minute for them to mold to your feet. But as soon as that happens, you'll never wear anything else!
Darling photos, as always.

I'm trying to break in my gold Saltwaters too! Kaitlyn has a matching pair as well. What I've been told is to get them wet with your feet in them – helps the leather mold to your feet faster!

Laurie @ Disney 'n Diapers says
Um. I need that cobbler in my kitchen! It's so nice to just sit back and enjoy the little things!
Whitney Biber says

Laurie Olsen says
Carry two purses. Drink a second glass of that red wine. Live life large and all that! I just love seeing Mad and her hair growing in!! Will you grow it long like yours? When I was a toddler my mom kept it in that oh so popular page boy style. I hit kindergarten and rebelled. Hair for days after that! π
LifeofCharmings says
aaamen!! and yes, heck yes i will grow it long!! i love those little curlies! my sister and i had our baby curls grow down to our bottoms before cutting them, and that is totally my plan here π i was kind of the opposite of your hair life! long hair forev, rebel around age 10 and chop, go back to having long hair then have a who-am-i breakup chop again at age 17, then my lesson was learned. long hair for life!
