11 months old...be still my heart

My litttle man is 11 months old today...I can hardly believe so much time has passed. I can hardly believe I'm already planning his first birthday party. He is loving black beans, anything sweet, music, his big sis and as of a few days ago, walking. I look at my two little ones and see my heart outside of my body. I see miracles and am reminded how blessed I am...I am reminded how amazing my God is. My faith is instantly renewed.

I came across this little "letter" of sorts through a blog I read, and it moved me, hit me hard....
the idea of "leaning in"....hmmmm....

I was thrilled to get my handmade bag from moop....came today...
pretty package with handwritten note....

I LOVE IT! It is more beautifully made than I could have imagined. The color is dark and rich, and just what I wanted. So happy with it. I need to clean out my old bag, and switch over my wallet to this one I purchased from Anthro.... (in taupe)


Supporting fellow crafters is important to me...and the products they make are so superior to mass-made items.


My amaryllis in full bloom....she bloomed Christmas morning....right on cue!


I put a little birdfeeder outside on our deck, and suddenly our backyard is ALIVE! I could sit all morning and watch the beautiful birds feed. SO MANY! The bluejays love the sunflower seeds. Isn't he handsome?


Cheers to knowing how to build a sustainable fire that allows us to use our woodstove and turn off the heat when it is well below freezing! I'm proud of that accomplishment!
