a few of my favorite things...

i've been devouring different blogs and etsy sites lately of all these wonderfully talented women, so much so that i've been inspired to start my own blog. unfortunately i'm not so talented, but at least i can share with the world the things that make me smile, bring me joy and generally cause me to pause & be thankful. one such blog is here. i actually went to high school with her for one year and we were pretty good friends, though we haven't seen each other since. i've been reading her blog, finding myself feeling tugs of both envy and inspiration. she is so creative and she seems to have passed this on to her daughters in the most beautiful ways. i feel like when i look at her kids it's as though they constantly have stars in their eyes and view things with pure wonder and delight. i would love to have this for my boys, but i'm a bit lost on where to start. that is part of my quest for this blog. i want to discover ways in which to pour excitement into my boys' hearts and then stand back and let them experience, create, question, learn, love. thank you jenn, for inspiring me. here's to my beginning...

Wow. Well I have to say that is just about the nicest thing ever said about me. As a mommy you don't get any quarterly reviews on how you are doing on the job, so this was so very nice to hear. I am very grateful for your kind words. Im excited about your blog and look forward to reading it!
