Happy Valentines Day!

I can't wait for the boys to wake up to their Valentines Treasure Hunt! I also can't wait to spend the rest of my life with my best friend, my Valentine. Didn't we look cute down in Mexico six years ago?! I always put this pic up as part of our Valentine decor :)

Pretty Well Random

I've got several different boredom buster/ what we've been up to lately type posts

all ready to go... well, the photos are edited at least...

but, ya know, I'm kind of in the mood for just a random type of post.
So here you have my inner dialogue out for some air I guess. :)

1) Why do I want this blog to grow? I can't say I ever had the intention for my little half-a-blip of the internet to be something that would make money. I can say with absolute surety that competition is NOT what drives me...ever. And there is a massive lot of it in crafty mommy blogville. I have a Bachelor's degree in Public Relations and Advertising... and a hefty discomfort with networking on the side... nice, eh? So, why oh why do I make moves to help this blog grow, to get anyone beyond my own family members see what I share here? I think I've decided that this blog really just gives me something to do... I feel kinda vulnerable saying that, but I guess that's it. Like my intro says, it's a place that makes me happy... so I guess that's it too :) Maybe somewhere along the way a little income as a result and a few more skills in the social department wouldn't be such a bad thing either... :)

2) Today during a Phineas and Ferb re-run, they were at a mall and got all excited seeing the old kiddie toys they used to ride on. Phineas remembers himself being a super cool astronaut during the ride. Zoom out to his older self riding the barely-moving rocket ship and he says, "In retrospect, I may have over-romanticized those memories." Still makes my totally laugh! Who does that statement not ring a bell with?!

AWESOME Idaho Bloggers Giveaway!

I am so blessed to get to be part of a unique group of talented blogging ladies

but our first group Giveaway!

What a great way to celebrate this week of love, eh?!

Valentine Happy Mail

I love sending Valentines mail!

Last year I got to send a fun package to a super talented lady I now consider a friend,

Kadie from Seven Alive. I was excited when I saw a similar type of thing happening at Create.Craft.Love!

Winter Boyville

It was full-on Boyville last weekend with Taron and Keaton here and the Superbowl to boot!

 Somewhere in the mix Ryder put his pool noodle toy around  his head and said, "Mama, I'm a lion!" :)

Oh and the lack of shirt in January?

He loves having his shirt off, not necessarily the pants, just the shirt.

Earlier he asked me if I would please take shirt off for him "so I can be a ninja."

And now I get it... and have melted even further over my baby :)
