oh, hey, life! hey, it's me, brittany...

(a few thingies here and there from over the last week)

1. fresh flowers all. of. the. time. make me so so happy.
2. as does having a baby girl who's so fancy (you already knooow!) i love when she accessorizes on her own. it's pretty much flawless.
3. i decided to finally see what the saltwater wearing club was all about, after hearing so many rave reviews! madd already has some and i was looking for something cutesier than my rainbows but hardier than my target sandals for when i'm tromping around the farm and such. i know people are all, "they mold to your feet!" but... i guess i'll just have to see, because i'm still working on that part. and really, they aren't anywhere near as comfortable as rainbows, but they are a little snazzier! so, the gold ones are now finding their rightful place in my summer wardrobe. and in maddalena's apparently. :)
4. i cannot believe how much chunkier my casey boy is compared to how skinny he got over the winter. i worried about that boy for months, so i'm certainly thankful he put on weight! but now he and comet are kinda out there chubbin! i'm thiiinking we need to saddle up one evening soon...
5. i seriously wonder what on earth we eat all winter long considering the amount of grilling we do in the summertime! i mean. it totally doesn't hurt to be married to a fabulous griller like steven.
6. finally got around to baking up a little blackberry cobbler using the literal fruit of my labor! wahoo! it was the cobbler that almost didn't happen, though, because i had to rush to the grocery store for some ingredients, only to come home and realize i was out of flour! but thank goodness for sweet neighbors. i felt so perfectly like a real neighbor wife sending steven next door to ask for a cup of flour! isn't that so real? made me want to watch desperate housewives. i loved that show. til it got ridiculous, but shows, they always seem to do that now, don't they?
but hey! anyway! so thankful for these little bitty things lately. it's easy to forget that every happy moment is a gift from the good Lord, and certainly not something to take for granted. life is short, you know! smell the roses. carry two purses. make ya some dessert. then maybe dance it off. :)
