Happy Love Day!

Happy Valentines Day friends. It has been a little over a month since my last post – air silence reflective of a lot of changes in our life – both good and bad. I plan to share the not so short story with you on Monday, but for now wanted to check in a spread some love on this happy and hug worthy holiday.

10 things I’m loving this Valentine’s Day :

1. These parrot tulips. They are such a cheery flower and they brightened my day yesterday, while I strolled the farmer’s market. Can’t wait for this to begin again!

2. My husband. The last month has been the most challenging of our last 9 years together. Such a blessing to know that even when I’m at my worst, he’s right there to tell me I’m at my best.

3. These cafe stools.

4. The Olympics! Although I typically enjoy the summer olympics far more than the winter, I’m really digging watching the freestyle skiing and figure skating. Oh the drama!

5. My parents. My Mom is coming into town tonight to help us with some intensive housework this weekend and even though my Dad couldn’t also come, I’m so thankful for their support lately. My Mom is one tough cookie, but she has softened in the best way during this tough time and has been my rock.

6. The sunshine we’ve been having here in Seattle. Week before last we had some record low temperatures, so it has been so nice to feel a bit of spring on the verge this week!

7. Our Seattle Family. We have had so many friends reach out and offer a helping hand, or even their own homes to us during this crazy transition. We are so immensely overwhelmed and grateful for the outpouring of generosity. Have never felt more loved than I do this Valentine’s Day.

8. This wallpaper. I’m envisioning our entire breakfast nook being covered in something bold in the near future.

9. All of the beautiful props and home accessory items here.

10. I good healthy glass of red.

Sending you warm cyber Valentine’s hugs today! Thank you for sticking with me through the silence. I’ll be back super soon!
