spinning...

that is how it feels at times...

often reminding myself to come back in, 

breathe deeply,

take it all in, 

revel in the moments...

you know those little ones that make you smile inside 

and be so happy for all that you have...

so i turn off the cell phone,

 keep away from the computer,

 quietly be present, 

hug a lot, 

listen closely 

and keep smiling inside...

how about you?

sweet appreciation...

captured our wee man as he entered class today showing his teacher just a glimpse of how much he appreciates her...sweet is this boy...

mother love...

i have been busy busy preparing these custom mother's day orders and can i just tell you how much my heart has swelled at the kindness and love for a mother...all these folks sending their mum's special thoughts and sweet, divine words and notes, it has truly been a pleasure and very special for me to be a part of spreading kindness and appreciation to mum's all over the good ol' USA...i am, i might add, very close to my own mum and that makes it all the more special...so, thank you kind lovelies for your orders, support and loving your mums!

12 years wonderful...

12 years ago today...oh my...the world changed in ways that only love defines...here is to you my love, best friend, amazing father, man...just to name a few...your love and support knows no end and for that, I am so thankful...here's to us.

aaaaaart...

i have not experienced this in my whole life...this feeling of fullness, of watching wee ones exit rooms full of creativeness...it surely takes more than 25 minutes...bring it on...i marvel in the love and bliss of art...in our young ones...ahhhh

no place like home

 

 there really is nothing that compares to coming home...to one's own wee abode, to the comforts surrounding, to the warmth of the sun through windows (spattered as they may be with dirt), to the routines of daily life that are sometimes overlooked but must be lived in and enjoyed regularly...ahhhh home...i do so love you....

however you say it...

mums really are quite cool...folks are sending vibes far and wide to their mother's from Still Lily...cannot hardly keep these on the shelves in my wee shop! have you told your Mum how much she ROCKS lately? Who really needs Mother's Day?
