Life around here.

Birds singing (loud & proud) in the morning.

Breakfast eaten outside.

Morning school: story time, coloring, art projects.

Windows open.

Toddler time outs.

Rinsing dishes; just one more cup of coffee.

Attending a birthday party for a friend.

Sweaters in the morning; barefoot in the evening.

Braided pigtails. The quiet of naptime. Extra snuggles on the couch.

Wearing my daughter’s yellow barrette.

Floral fabric, wooden buttons, a finished Gussy Sews wholesale order.

The first lawn mow of the season.

Wearing rain boots, rain or shine.

Reading five pages at a time (and feeling WOW’d at the progress this makes).

Blue skies. Allergies tickling little noses. Last-minute dinners thrown together (the best kind?).

Cool hardwood floors. Dirt in the kitchen.

Preparing for our fourth baby: found the carseat, a half-packed hospital bag, a slow lift out of the chair ;)

    All the little moments that are so sweet. :) I love all the signs of Spring! Did you grow the tulips from bulbs? Just place the bulbs in water? Thanks!

      I bought them like that at our grocery store, but the bulbs can also be planted in the ground once they’ve bloomed. XO

    I can picture every line of this. Love the pics. Especially Max’ goofy face, and the heart cloud. :D

    Some people just get luck every day. Like me.

    Dear Maggie…. I was writing a heart-felt note and lost it! I saved your writings and pictures until this morning when I could savor them in my quiet time. I so enjoy reading your “mama comments and thoughts” and then the pictures! I just gaze at those innocent little faces and am so glad that YOU Maggie, are their loving guide! Thank you so much for sharing and please give Mr. Zack a hug from Grambarb. Ps…. I am praying every day for your comfort and well-being. Much love….Grambarb.
