Well, today is it.
Today is the one year anniversary of
Friday Favorite Things.
{twitter hashtag? #fridayfaves}
I have been blessed by each of you
and your encouraging comments
and support and beautiful posts
posts of joy that celebrate life.
Thank you.
Here are a few of my favorite things
sixty degree days in march
{I am not joking}
these days are so warm and wonderful
we’ve been spending hours and hours outdoors.
my spitfire elijah
who, sigh, keeps me busy
and tries to escape the house to get outside.
Yesterday, at bedtime I talked with him about not sneaking out and his reply
“I’ve got plans, mom. I’ve got plans.”
Oh my goodness. I will be busy.
dirt piles on the side yard
that keep my Elijah busy
in those hours where he just wants to be outside
Best tools? Garden tools for the dirt and sand
samuel hugs
in the afternoon
little tikes castle
In the backyard
that my children have played in for years and years and years
look at those little Samuel hands
peeking out and over.
Love.
laughter
happiness
joy
freedom
found in playing
{I love that spitfire Elijah}
samuel
again
sigh – seeing him healthy does his mother’s heart good
today instead of big moments
or events or stories
I celebrate with you the beauty of today.
The beautiful connected life that brings joy.
so much joy.
Happy Anniversary

My goodness, I can’t believe it’s been a year. Time flies when you are having fun! Thanks for hosting this each week. It’s such fun!
Boys and dirt, they go hand and hand! And, I’d say you had gotten more than your money’s worth out of that castle. Wonderful!
A happy weekend to you dear friend. It’s always a joy to drop by.
We love our little tikes castle, too. and 80 degrees in March! Bring on the spring!
Thanks for hosting this for one year!
Enjoy your weekend!
I share in your joy-filled moments, especially the unlikely warm weather!
