valentine follow-up & aquarium

it was a nice valentine's day around here. i managed to make valentines for the kids' daycare friends. there's nothing like a home-made valentine, no matter how simple.


i also made some home-made valentines for my children, inspired by a post from ali: the minibooks were fun to make and i also found these little mailboxes from target, in the dollar bins, which were the perfect size for holding a finger puppet, a little car and some m&ms's. i think my son really enjoyed opening it up to find some treats inside. i'm thinking about leaving them up in their rooms all year long.

we had a special movie night, complete with pj's, a big bowl of popcorn and the original animated cat in the hat dvd. it was a goooood night.

today was a fun trip to an aquarium...my daughter is one! it was so nice that it coincided with a holiday so that we were all free from work to spend the day together. i think this was my favorite shot from the day (although my timing was off and i missed the sea lion floating by the window).


more birthdays and celebrations just around the corner....good times ahead.

so excited

after drooling over the options for a day or two, i just made a fabulous purchase and can't wait to get this. thank you kelly rae! i am so excited. this is getting framed and hung in my baby girl's bedroom. so cute!

i've been having a lot of creative 'feelings' lately - mainly that i want/need to do more and need to make the time for it. i've been so tired at night (which is really the only time that i have) but i have got to make it work; i'm the one getting in the way. i used to have a good routine and at least had a night where i made time to do things. i have got to do that again. once i'm in the groove, it's all good. there are just too many projects in my head that are no good to me (or anyone else for that matter) unless i get them done!
