Oh how I love this season!

A mid april afternoon when we played outside with the sprinkler; an afternoon we’ll remember for a while 💛 all my happiness right here.

Beautiful sunlight makes everything better, even the details of renovation messes/progress. We’re coming up on our tenth year living in this home, and tackling one the renovations we had planned to do years ago... finally getting around to it. In a way, I’m glad we waited to complete this part at the age the kids are right now, because they have been such a big part of the process. So eager to help and participate in making their home, and those are memories that years, months, weeks from now I know we’ll cherish. Also, I no longer have pink wall-pink carpet rooms in the house, so there’s that too haha ☺️🙌🏼 . Happy almost Friday!! ✨☀️

That smile’s for me. This blessing of a soul. The other day, through the rear view mirror, I watched him as he placed the tips of his fingers together time and time again, just to perfect making the shape of a heart with his hands. It’s impossible not be to be moved watching that. Four and a half years old, and still my baby, but more and more, in moments when he would usually stay with me, he goes... though my mama heart is so proud of his growing confidence, I miss him. They are just growing so beautifully. This afternoon, the beautiful weather gave us a taste of all the adventures this season holds for us, and I can’t wait to share it with them. On the home front, our downstairs level renovations is moving steadily, and hopefully, by the end of next week, my house will be dust free haha. Perfect time for spring cleaning. I also transplanted my basil today, and all the seedlings are in the stage where you can start to smell their aroma, and noticing little things like that is so meaningful to me, especially lately. The aroma of seedlings, the dampness on their neck when they sleep, always, always, those little things ✨

The season of light beautifully reflecting and shining around the house ✨ and I especially love how it falls on this wall.

I am always so moved, so inspired, so humbled by the beautiful things I hear from my children. This morning as we had breakfast, Penelope told me that if we tied one hundred balloons to our roof, our house could fly just like the movie Up. As I smiled to her beautiful story, she paused and said that perhaps she didn’t want to do that. She would miss the land and the plants in the backyard. I love that she used the word “land”, and even more, to see how connected she feels to it. Even with all our possessions in our home, it would be the loss of the land and the nature from our little backyard that made her change her mind. Such a powerful and beautiful reflection from her little soul. How beautifully, how impactful their comments and observations are to me; always my teachers. And their words, all the more reason to look forward to our gardening season, and to the day their little hands will plant these baby tomatoes. 🍅 happiest of Fridays ✨
