Pearlmaster watch is for people who keep the pace of fashion.

guess what i finally put in the shop


and that made me think of all the insomniatic nights that she stayed up with me and mirrored my every move and snuggled me right out of my anxiety into dreamland long after grant and cate had drifted off


i bet that block is not nearly as big as i remember it being but i remember it being quite a trip


im just obsessed with him 


when cate is too scared to go downstairs penny will go with her and everything is all right she lets cate dress her up for weddings or try to ride her or pull her by the tail almost daily and even knowing the torture she will soon endure she gets so excited when cate gets home from school


i had a really tumultuous teenager-hood i was a happy and smart little kid it was surprising when so much angst welled up inside me 


but let me tell you thats not how it will really go i imagine most kids will want to stay home and play computer games but their moms will make them come and so theyll grudgingly put on a some church pants and skirts so i was wondering if you could help me know how to bring the romance back into our modern life its not really that important no matter the dress or the menu we just want the kids to come to feel the spirit of the temple but its like you said anne when you dont use your imagination to make life beautiful how much you miss


and then that got me thinking that really its not just while laying in bed that she is watching out for me 


i know some people dont love the whole valentines thing but it is so fun to me i dont care if the greeting card company made it up- any day where i get to be pretty treated with sweetness have a declicious dinner and some romance is right on in my book


she is my best babysitter for cate she takes turns with me putting cate to bed and being her pillow 


one thing i enjoy about facebook is the old pictures that friends and fam upload to walk down memory lane together with you 


i will i will i will please hold me accountable if you dont see the results posted next week the inspiration pieces


a conversation today


plan to be surprised


hey my little family


i am given glimpses of the why and the good and the reasons and the plan the bigger picture and the necessity for some to not fit the mold


this week i am getting all my ducks in a row so that this weekend i can hole up and sew myself some desperately needed skirts for church and summer

all day the kids hung out at that corner played on that grass got drinks out of that hose went through the secret passage way in the juniper bushes and only left the area to go around the block over and over again sometimes it was on bikes with banana seats sometimes roller skates sometimes big wheels sometimes walking even occasionally on skateboards with cardboard boxes on them (our cars)
