I LOVE

... birthday party decorations.

And I love that the party girl drew her own bugs that I was able to scan and print. She saw the bugs on a pay per image clipart site and decided she'd go ahead and save us some money and draw what she saw instead. Handmade is the bestest!

I LOVE

... this little egg.

Our chickens are finally laying eggs! Well, at least one of them is. The eggs are so cute and quite delicious.

I LOVE

... this girl.

She looks cute even with her sleepy "baby" face. Happy, Happy Birthday to our wonderful girl!

I LOVE

... making tissue paper flowers.

I also love that I'm making them to celebrate my daughter's birthday. She has a buggy birthday party planned for Saturday and I'm hoping to make enough to make everyone feel like they are "buzzin'" around in a flowery magical world.

I LOVE

... handmade sock monkeys.

This one will make a soon to be 11-year-old girl very, very happy. I'm so glad I finished it on time. I was getting a little worried. Whew.

I LOVE

... little painted rocks.

I LOVE them ESPECIALLY when they have the word, "love" written on them.

I LOVE

... this mess.

Wait. I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "Sh'yeah right. Uh huh. Whatever" But, today I really do love this mess. Any other day I despise it. It breaks me. It makes me weak. It may even make me so angry that I throw my hands up in the air.

Today though. Today I let go. Today I see the mess and I am thankful that there are two little kids in the house who love to build and create. Who are seekers because that one piece, that one piece that completes whatever project they are finishing, is down at the bottom of the pile and they are going to do whatever it takes to get it. And I think, man, this mess really is a living history of fun. Fun was had and that's all that mattered at the time.

Tomorrow though... well, tomorrow's a new day.

I have to give much thanks to Erin Goodman for offering this wonderful perspective of appreciating where you are now for today. This first day of The 10-day Family Re-Charge is already life-changing. I feel blessed.

I LOVE

... this pup.

She can be a pain in the butt sometimes, but so can most of us.

I LOVE

... little notes left on our bathroom mirror.

These messages are the best. The window pen was a very good investment indeed.

I LOVE

... blueberries.

Blueberries are bite-size. They are sweet. They are round. They are nutritious. They are a perfect snack.

It's February and each day this month I will post a pic of something I love. Please play along! If you do, put a link to your blog post in the comments. Happy Lovin'!
