wet drooly KISSES from my kiddos

daily innocence and surprise of new found things

the way my kids smell after a bath

night time stories and bedtime prayers

the soft kiss of my high school SWEETHEART, now husband

the sun setting at the river when the water becomes cool and air smells crisp

the desert as the sun welcomes a new day & the sand is still newly packed from the night’s long breeze

Creamer with a splash of coffee

Red and white stripes

A good book

wearing black

pictures

A completed To-Do list

Flip Flops

Cleaning

Pony tails

A Pumpkin Spice Candle on a Cold Day

A worn in pair of jeans

The Smell of Gardenia's in the summer

Childlike moments with my Children

Making memories with friends and family

Warm clean sheets

red barns & bright red doors

freshly painted toenails

the completeness I feel as I stand in church and praise the Lord next to my husband holding our precious children's hands

Infectious Laughter

I LOVE You's.....

XOXO,

Bri

the smiles I wake up to every morning

being crafty

watching the same chick flicks over and over again

shopping for NO reason

getting lost in a good magazine....sometimes a book

CHOCOLATE

Milk and cookies before bed

playing at the river with family and friends

Starbucks any time of the day, even twice a day!

Vacuuming

Baseball season

watching my kids laugh together

that my Hubby is my High School Sweetheart

A cold glass of Pinot Grigio on a summer day

the sweet smell of my baby boy

Girl time

a cozy blanket

Accessories

When my little girl teaches ME something

dancing

laughing a good belly laugh

getting dressed up (with Heels)

living my life with Faith

baking

Learning something new

XOXO,

Amy

{Feature Friday} Last Minute Valentine's Ideas

February 11, 2011

We thought we would share some last minute Valentine's Day ideas for those who may be stumped this year on extra Savvy ideas made with Love!!! All of these ideas were found from around the Internet as well as ideas that we found to be easy, cost effective and fun! We hope you find something to your hearts desire!

Why not start Valentine's breakfast with a message of love? This simple recipe of eggs, toast and ketchup can be found over at isharefunfood.com via cutefoodforkids.com

For the kids, TwistyNoodle.com is a great resource for coloring pages and worksheets that lets you customize your page by changing the font and the text!!! This site is also a great educational resource that has practice writing worksheets to keep you little ones busy.

We loved this idea from This Blessed Nest because the ingredients (popcorn, m&m's, candy melts, zipploc bags, and ribbon) are ones that we almost always have in our kitchens! This would be a great idea for your kids to give out at school!

Since we love a CUTE printable, Daphne from Moo Moo's TuTu has created the perfect and FREE 'Valentine Confetti' printable to finish off this tasty snack!
Download here

Another great and FREE Valentine printable comes from the always resourceful Skip To My Lou via Anything But Perfect. This FREE and simply adorable candy bar wrapper fits the standard Hershey's bar and can be dazzled up a bit with embellishments!
Download here

How pretty is this chocolate dipped brownie? Well, for us there is no brownie that is too pretty to eat! The Recipe Girl shows you this great tutorial that will make your mouth water just looking at the pics!

Display the Recipe Girl's heart shaped brownies on a pretty platter or get yourself some craft bags (usually Michale's or JoAnns carries these) and download this FREE Valentine's Brownie Bag from Twig and Thistle If you love this idea as much as we do, every Valentine's day there is a new version created!
Download here

And finally yet another FREE download (Gotta LOVE the internet!). We printed this version of the 'Keep Calm' series from The Hands On Housewife . Print this on a piece of heavy cardstock (here) and place in a pretty frame and display around your home or give as a gift as a friendly reminder! Since we all should take each day to Keep Calm and LOVE ON!!!!

Valentine's Day is Sweet!!!!

February 10, 2011

What a fun day we got to spend with Racz Photography at the "Candy Shoppe". This Valentine's mini session was a day full of love and laughter.

As You can imagine it was not easy coordinating 3 3 year olds and a 3 1/2 month to all look and smile at the camera.

What a Lucky guy to have 3 Valentines' to hang out with at the Candy Shoppe.

No Photo Shoot is complete without the perfect outfit and accessories.

How "Lovely" are these shirts from Finley and Oliver. We LOVE the detailed stitching and feminine ruffles.

These Pretty Little Wellies Twirly Skirts were just as fun as they were cute!

And to complete the outfits were Sweet Things YoYo hair pieces.

We dressed up these sweet treats with The TomKat Studio Valentine's Mod Printables. That made the perfect gift for our Valentine's.

Thank You all for A 'Sweet' Day filled of 'Sweet' Memories!

A day without laughter is a day wasted~Charlie Chaplin.
