Girl is good.

Beets for everyone!

Avonlea, Nooney and Auntie made a giant Snow Lady. She had beets for lips and coal for her buttons. Avonlea swooned over her "lipstick".

Sweet Days Ahead

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

It's a sweet little Valentine's day here in the woods....

My lovely little valentine has opened her treats early because she will be at school tomorrow. 

Let's just say she was delighted. :)

Valentine's day calls for honey-sweet braided buns. :)

                                                            and floral rainboots.....

and sweet spotty freckles to boot!

She is my most favorite valentine ever!!

With her around, there surely are sweet days ahead...

Enough is enough

Time for this girl to learn ...

My heart didn’t break into a thousand pieces after he left. Instead, I realized all the things he didn’t do. He didn’t want to hear my stories. He didn’t ask me questions. He didn’t smile when I was talking to him. He didn’t hug me out of the blue to make me feel good. His hugs were always a preamble to something else and after he was gone, I wondered if he ever knew me at all.

Settle

There is nothing more soul settling than hearing her gentle footsteps through the fog of sleep and feeling her settle her soft, sleepy baby bones into the crook of my neck.
The weight of her on my chest.
And when I'm really lucky, her sweet, baby soft hand stroking my arm or holding my hand as she settles back into sleep.
And hearing her breathing slow and deepen.
Nope.
There is nothing better than that.

Sweet treats

Had the sweetest little birthday this year.
I am thankful for good love and good souls to give me the best day I could have imagined, and not have allowed me to stay home and wallow. It was the first birthday in as long as I can remember that the day was all mine, every surprise detail planned out with my thoughts and wishes at heart. It. Was. Amazing.
Definitely my best birthday ever. Without a doubt.

Sick puppy

Puppy is sick. After 2 days of excruciating tossing and turning and nights spent crying, I took her to a clinic to have her checked out.
103 fever.
Raging ear infections.
She slept through her assessment and a good hour after. My baby who never has slept in public in her life, including when she was a newborn.
Some high dose antibiotics ordered. Hopefully she will be back to her own self soon. This mama is tired from late night fevers and minimal sleep!
