Happy Heart's Day!!!

Wishing each and every one of you a LOVE-LY Valentine's Day!

While the cat's away....

While the cat's away... The mouse WILL play!

.... will play in her DRESSER DRAWER, that is.

Say Cheese!

This is the face I got this afternoon when I told Josie "Say Cheese!" She cracks me up - so does her dress that is a size too big! She picked out her clothes this morning and we ended up getting rid of the leggings half way thru the morning because she were just too hot! They had bears on them - ohhh it was stylin' let me tell you!

Have a great weekend - we are going to a sledding party on Saturday and get this... it isn't supposed to be that cold! Bring on the sledding - and hot cocoa!

A little bit vintage...

So, I am a huge decorator for seasons/holidays! I have each of my many, many bins labeled and stacked in the garage for immediate usage, whatever the given holiday! This time of year I LOVE to celebrate Valentine's Day! The pink and red make my heart go pitter patter and so do all of the fun Valentine's that go with the special day - especially a steamy one from the hubster (wink wink)!!
~I have a VERY VERY VERY dear mama who is always helping me fill my holiday bins, and her eye can catch the most wonderful details.... Such as a vintage postcard in a frog:

(***:Never knew that poky little thing was a frog until a few years ago! I have a nice collection now!)
~I snatched up this vintage Valentine's banner at an occasional sale called "The Mustard Moon" (in Carver, MN) several weeks ago - and I was SHAKING IN MY BOOTS when I saw it! It was calling my name, so of course I listened and promptly bought it, brought it home and have it hanging in my kitchen:

I also cozied up a nook in my kitchen in honor of St.Valentine with another postcard and FABULOUS apron my mom got at an antique store! (I love my mom!)

And I am just throwing this one in for good measure! She makes my heart SMILE!!!

Me.

Today's thought...

Coming up today.... It's all about vintage Valentine's!!! Oooo la la xoxo

SMILE!

Have you smiled yet today? Or perhaps just stood out on the balcony and let the world know how HAPPY you are?

If not .... you should! :-)

CABIN FEVER!

Ok.... I am sitting down... I am pulling up my Blog... and I am WRITING!!!

Sorry for the delay in the new post! Life has been keeping me rather busy and by about 7:00 PM every evening... I walk past my hubby rocking our sweet little girl in the rocking chair (their daddy-Josie time) and watching the original Dukes of Hazzard - after a quick sigh and smile I remember that my heating pad is in warming up my spot on my bed and go climb in!!! With a book in hand and there I sit until I drift off - oh, around 7:30 or 8 PM (sad.... I know!) This FREEZING COLD WINTER HAS GOT TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am envisioning warm summer evenings watering my flowers, taking walks with the dog, pushing Josie in her swing as she giggles! All of this aside, I find myself justifying my wanting to be in bed so early... but know that the windchill of about -45 does that for me! Oh yes, and let's not forget the sun going down at about 3:00 PM.

I know that Spring is on it's way... and until then I will leave you with these WARM WEATHER PHOTOS:

Was my baby actually ever this little???????????????? (Still just as messy though!)

My BEEEEAUTIFUL Passion Plant.

Ahhhh Mexico! Be still my heart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can feel the 90 degrees right now! :-) Glorious!

Ok...that is about all for now... BUT... this just in: Josie has a babysitter Friday night and the hubster and I are going out to dinner and a movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Doing a cartwheel right now!)

xoxo,

Me.
