Lately, I find myself constantly thinking (& reminding myself) that
Right Now...
...is Wonderful.
:) {pic is a little sneak peek of one of my February Kit layouts for Studio Calico's Daydream Believer Kit - this was a FABULOUS kit!}
Even though I've spent the past eleven days distanced from the blog.
and even though I sometimes feel like the world (and our days) are spinning faster than ever imaginable.
and even though I sleep an average of 5 and a half hrs a night. ;)
I'm grateful for this life.
And for being able to spend my afternoons with these two boys.
And for being able to spend a Tuesday morning chasing seagulls with Noah.
And for being able to attend Evan's (very cute) 1/2 Birthday Preschool celebration in Chapel this morning.
And for being able to take lots & lots of photos, and to create a mess in my kitchen with paper and glue and foam adhesive and embossing powder and stacks and stacks of patterned paper, and know that that's ok. :)
Life is Wonderful Right Now. I don't want to lose sight of that.
:)))
psst - the past two weeks of Project Life Spreads will be ready to share here SOON!!! I am LOVING this project more than anything else at the moment!
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
i love this.
i love YOU.
even if you don't get enough sleep. :)
xoxoxo.

You inspired me to research Project Life and start my own this year. Can't wait to see yours :) "A grateful heart is a happy heart" I feel the same way, even on days when I need to remind myself a little!

The smiles on E and N's faces are evident signs that their lives are wonderful and adorable and have the best mama ever :)
