This afternoon I whipped up white-chocolate-cherry-fudge WHILE I was fixing lunch for the kiddos. It’s so easy you can do it one handed! It took three, maybe four minutes (and a little extra time to wrap them up all pretty!!)
Idea and Recipe via Cookies and Cups!
I packaged a napkin with the fudge so it’s ready-to-devour. Whoever invented CD sleeve treats is pretty cool, don’t ya think?!

This is the miracle that happens
every time to those who really love;
the more they give,
the more they possess.

All in a days work-
wake up, eat, play, play some more,
shop, read, take pictures,
paint, tend to crying baby, buy goldfish…
and
REPEAT with a smile!!!

Around here an exciting adventure means a trip to the pet store!
Who knew that 29 cent gold fish could bring so much JOY!?
No joke— they woke up at 4:30 in the morning with eager anticipation to bring home their new “pets”!!
…
So many books, so little time!

In the Target parking lot. He is getting braces soon!

That is about as exciting as it gets around here!!

I just unpacked our family love notes box!!
…
We made this from a Capri Sun Juice box.
This year I’m going to add little envelopes so that the kids can properly seal and deliver their love notes.
We hand out and read ALL our warm fuzzies during our not-so-fancy Valentine’s Day dinner.
…
As I was unpacking our February-Box-O-Fun I remembered our heart umbrella—
…
Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, long-suffering, bearing with one another, and forgiving one another… but above all things put on love.
Colossians 3:12-14 (nkjv)
Isn’t that a lovely bible verse to keep close to our hearts during this season of LOVE?!
…
…
Hearts and love and happiness to you!

During winter brake the kiddos made dozens and dozens of paper snowflakes. I had great intentions of hanging them all through the house before Christmas… but that didn’t quite happen!
…
Every time I started hanging them this little sweetheart started crying. Just in the last couple weeks she has truly become COLIKY! Her poor tummy. At this point in time if she isn’t sleeping or nursing … she is crying.
…
Today she gave me twenty full minutes of quiet time!! It was glorious!
…
It isn’t always naps in the snowflakes… but it is worth it. ohhhh so worth it!
Love and peace to you on this day!

Snowman Shakers! The snowmen are hot-glued inside small boxes. We added snowballs and glitter before sealing the clear plastic lids. I’m thinking we might slap a label on the back and send them to some friends who are snowless. Maybe the postal workers will give the boxes a little shimmy and shake! Idea via the marvelously creative Deborah at Teach Preschool: Snowglobes-in-a-box!
Happy (real or pretend) SNOW DAYS to you!!
