Happy LOVE Day.
In keeping with my holiday freak flag flyin' schedule, I thought I should let you know today has it unfurled and wildly flapping.
Evidence A: the excuse to bust out the lace tights I've been dying to wear.
Verdict is I like them very much.
Evidence B:
Our Valentine's Day sugar cookie buzz tradition. Just how much sugar can one pile onto an already sugar-filled cookie? Lainey is determined to find out.
Evidence C:
We're going out tonight. On a real date. Where we dress up and have a babysitter (okay, my dad, but still). And because this doesn't happen very often, I enjoy the prolonged process of getting ready that begins with a long bath with the girls and, after a trio of home pedicures, a few cups of hot tea and letting Lainey pick out my lip gloss, it ends with reconnecting with a pair of teetering heels from back in the day when I wore teetering heels almost every day.
Evidence D. Well, actually this has nothing to do with Valentine's Day or love unless you count the fact that I love weekend outings which is really stretching it, so let's just scratch the whole evidence thing and call this second part of the post "We Went to the Zoo Yesterday."
We Went to the Zoo Yesterday.
And being that I'd love to start the getting ready ritual early for tonight, I'm making this quick.
My dad holds Nella like a sack of flour. It freaks me out, but she loves it and he loves that it freaks me out.
It was grand.
Happy Love Day!

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 214 of 214,,,"poppa rik" i'm guessing this ain't your first rodeo and you have the babysitting down to a science,,,(smile),,,ohhhh, to be able to translate nella's conversations, wouldn't that be something wonderful?,,,i imagine she was telling you all the things she plans to do when she grows older, and how she's going to add to the greatness of the world,,,
Oh my goodness the last pic of Nella standing against the white fence is adorable! What a character. She and Lainey bring so much sunshine to the world. Thanks for sharing their light.
Your blog is such an inspiration to me. Nella and Lainey are beautiful!
I love those babies, I love the zoo, I think you're pretty and your Dad's hot too! :)
I am very much in admiration of you. Your girls are beautiful and I love your pictures!
Love stopping by here. So happy.
I smile so much, from the beginning tht the end of your blog posts ~ that my jaw hurts!
Such a wonderful pain...
Can you even believe that for even one moment you were unsure about Nella? Talk about hind-sight!!!

Happy Heart Day, for sure,

Hey Kelle! In keeping up this post of Valentines Love sharing... I would love to continue the support of Nella Oneder fund! I tried to give during the weeks before her birthday but you must have missed my email. I did see that someone else set something up with their Stella & Dot so hopefully you've had a chance to check out their fabulous jewelry! So I set it up and 100% of my profits from now through the end of March from anyone who shops using Host Nella Onderfund will go to her ONEder Fund:)
A few of my personal suggestions to check out are the Foundation Bracelets. Just got myself and my girls matching ones and they are beautiful - Multi-colored beads in either coral pinks or turquoise that come with charms. And all of Stella & Dots proceeds of their womens and childrens Foundation bracelets go to support 3 Foundations that share their mission to create positve change for women in the US:)
Also their charm collection is amazing - You can make personal necklaces and bracelet, add fun whimsical charms and your childrens initials, birthstones, make them totally unique everyday wonderful. I love mixing gold and silver when making these!
And then the new Copa Necklace and Bamboleo Necklace along with the green Garden Party chandelier earrings, Turquoise beads with your favorite broach, and the Goa collection are so beautiful fresh for spring/summer and oh so Florida!
And of course the Little Girls collection is amazing - So nice and beautiful, very grown up for such little girls:)
My site is www.stelladot.com/hostert Use Host: Nella Onderfund when shopping and I can't wait to send you a big fat wonderful check at the end of March to towards the ONEder Fund!
Any questions or to request catalogs email me at christy.hostert@gmail.com
Thanks! Have a great week:)
Oh and I should add - you dont have to wait until end of March to get your jewelry! Your selections will come to your door, beautifully gift wrapped for $5.95 and will arrive in 3-5 days! Makes gift giving very easy:)
those tights are wonderful! they remind me of the kind my mom used to made me wear and I hated! I would love to have a pair like that now!
Your bathroom is so happy I can hardly stand it! It's great!
lookin hot, mama!
I am so in love with your family x
I LOVE your Valentine's card. LOVE it. Half-tempted to print it and put it on my fridge like we're friends that go way back. Might be weird when I explain to people we've never spoke or met. Your zoo looks way better than ours here in MI. You get to ride camels?? We have a prairie dog exhibit you can stick your head up a plastic cap that smells like..well, anyhoo, and to get to it you have to stuff yourself into a tunnel with 100 other kids climbing on you. You do this so you can watch the prairie dogs not walk by you. (Can you tell it's my favorite exhibit?) And finally, love that you have an iPhone :)
