And I loved reading the last thing that made you laugh. Coco Penny $25 Gift Certificate Winners: The Last Thing That Made You Laugh
Comment, #652, Jen: LOVE IT. The last thing that made me laugh was my 6 year old telling my 5 year old..."I don't want to hear any more of that nonsense!"
Comment, #1012, Eva: Funniest thing I have heard today...... Realizing that my boys think that R2D2 from star wars is actually called Auntie D2. Thats what happened when they are only allowed to play with the Lego star wars character and not watch the actual movie!

Joy
Right now in my life, most days I don't have to get up to an alarm clock. I can wake up when my body is ready and lay in bed soaking up the morning sun. My four year old has gotten really good at playing in his room til he hears me wake up and then comes in and cuddles with me. It is the perfect way to start the day. (I dread the days when I have to be somewhere and am rushed out of bed!)
Adore you Kelle♥
What I love about morning is when I wake up and realize I've gotten to sleep all night.
I really hope I can take photos as beautiful as yours someday. I'm working on it. Promise =)
Doing morning nursies w my boy... Favorite.
my favorite morning thing.... the snuggles i get every morning from my 3yr old right after he gets out of bed. (him, me, two blankies and his superman).
love leisurely mornings in bed with hubby....
im loving the pics of your sweet babys! you make life seem so grand, its all in your attitude.
"you can act as though nothing is a miracle, or as though everything is." God love ya girl.
I love the fresh start that each morning brings...and my girlies' excited faces when I go in to get them out of their beds...and my older daughter's comment as we walk down the stairs to breakfast each day--no matter what the skies hold, she says the same thing, "mama, it's a beautiful day today!"
My favorite is the look of pure joy in my kids eyes as I go to wake them up each morning; their groggy, sleepy smiles warm my heart and I know then that the day will be good.
Coffee, is a great morning love of mine. It falls just short of number one though, my greatest morning love is bedhead on my babies!!!
We wake up to our little 2 year old yelling "mama! papa!" at the top of her lungs! We scoop her up and bring her into bed with us to have some "ilk" as she calls it. Then, slowly, but surely we slurp on our coffee and get ready for the day, but not before we get some snuggle time in!!!!
The thing I love most about mornings is hearing my son say "Mama" from his crib until I roll over and look at him and tell him good morning. The sun coming through the window makes him look like an Angel. It takes my breath away every time.
My absolute favorite thing about the morning is my son's smile. There is nothing in the world better than the person whose world you are lighting up brighter than the sun as you catch eyes for the first morning moment <3
What I love most about mornings is the quiet before the storm. All is calm and still but there is this sense that the world is gearing up for the chaos of the day. I love that sense of quiet anticipation. What can I say? I'm a morning person.
The first hugs of the day from my little ones. :)
Kelle, you have NO IDEA how much I have been drooling over that precious necklace. I have been harping on that necklace sine Christmas. I would love to see my precious miracle of a baby's finger print on my neck.
My mornings is filled with Florida sunshine that comes from my daughters smile she shows me every morning from her crib. The best part is that she looks like her Daddy...and while he is deployed overseas...I can get to be reminded that a little part of him is with me right now. :-)
precious!

Oh no I just wrote a post about how much I hate mornings! Now a feel like a louse lol. You make everything look so beautiful...even dust floating behind an adorable baby! By the way the tubby pic is the most precious thing I have seen all week!
I love morning hair on my babies when they come stumbling still half asleep to find me.
Mornings....tired babies with warm smiles :)
I love my 4 kiddos, and I love life, However I DO NOT love mornings.. and I can't think of one good thing to say about them... sorry! :) Now, if you asked what my favorite thing about night time was....
my favorite part about the morning is the ability to start fresh, stretch out and take on the day again.
have a great weekend!!
My favorite thing about the morning: deciding what the evening holds for me after I get off work. The possibilities are endless....off to Barnes and Noble to soak in all of the books, relaxing with a close friend to watch some Sex and the City, or heading off to the gym for the wonderful feeling of accomplishment after I finish that hour on treadmill that I didn't think I could do.
White Mocha Creamer. mmmmm. It seriously is what gets me out of bed most days. Love my coffee! Especially since my 3 month old AND my 3 year old still don't sleep through the night! Can you blame me!?
My morning love... peering over the side of the bed into my girl's bassinet to be met by a huge grin. Heaven.
Favorite thing about mornings? Rocking out in my car with the music blasting. It's my alone time, my solace, and it gets me pumped to handle anything thrown at me.
I may hate my job, but I'm so grateful to be employed. I'm supporting my husband and I while he's getting through law school - and our source of life is everything right now.
I love the smile on my boys face when I go in to get him from his crib. Nothing better then that grin!
Devolted Mommy and Brookelynn time before we go to the babysitters or wake up Daddy!
I love the sweet morning breath of my baby girl (5 months) and the warmth she brings when we snuggle before starting our day!
I love to let in some light in the morning, sip my coffee and then my favorite part of the morning is opening the door when I hear "mama!"
I open their bedroom door and meet two grins on my girls (2.5 and 10 months old.)
Nursing my boy while he giggles and puts his feet in my face (trying to get them in my mouth I suspect)
I love waking up to my littlest little (3mo) smiling next to me - we then wait for my not so little little (2) to come climb up on the bed and cuddle. Both in their footed pj's - PERFECTION!
Top of the list: "Mama, can I snuggle with you?" from my girl (close second to "Mama, Abe's awake - can I go talk to my brother?"); Arm flapping, trunk undulating excitement from the boy when I enter his room; my front-row ticket to jammied siblings at play.
Love that necklace!
I love hearing those sweet little giggles over the monitor, and how his face lights up when I open the door and go in his room.
Love Saturday mornings now that my Husband is home with us and not working! We get so much done and enjoy the day together with our sweet girl!
The best part of the morning is that first stretch after my eyes slowly blink open. This is followed by the slipper shuffle to the coffee pot. I do love mornings. If only I could wake up on my own time, rather than that of the alarm clock...
I love lingering in my pajamas and drinking coffee while playing on the floor with my kids...the weekend mornings are great because we don't have to rush around getting ready for work and school.
Morning love equals my little guy's laughter when he first sees mama. It doesn't get any better than that!
The best part of my morning is when my 2 year old Little Man comes into my room, climbs into my bed, and says, "Snuggle me mama!" I snuggle him as long as he lets me!
I love waking up to my 7 month old babbling in his crib and when I walk in his room he gives me the biggest grin:)
My favorite thing about morning is hearing my son yell from his crib, "mommy!" And then I go in to grab him, and then his bright smile just makes my heart melt.
My fave thing about mornings is coming down the stairs and seeing my 3 children all curled up on the couch with blankies and no fighting and hearing cartoons going! All is calm!!
What I love about my mornings? Waking up early enough to sneak a glimpse of my still-sleeping little man deep in dream land! The best part~ when he leaves out a little giggle while asleep...knowing he must be having the sweetest of dreams! =)
ok I have to be honest mornings and I don't get along!! But if I have to pick one thing it would be morning snuggles that my son gives out freely, after 10am there are no more snuggle guarantees!
Those are gorgeous! I would love to win one!
The feeling of a fresh start
My favorite thing about the morning is the quiet time I have with my youngest before his sisters are up for the day.
My favorite mornings are on the weekends. No alarm, no rushing, just lazy coffee and lazy hours of just anything.
I love waking up to sweet coos and smiles from my baby girl. This necklace with her fingerprint would be incredibly special!
I love morning snuggles, complete with the giggles that come from recalling the previous nights dreams. My boy has quite the imagination.
mornings....my favorite thing would be my 18 month old saying, "Mommy! Mommy!" when he is ready to get out of his crib. And of course, the smell of coffee! :0)
What I love about mornings is that all my waistbands are looser! And the lovely peppermint mocha coffee that I crave first thing each day. (I hoarded that flavor creamer at Christmastime and I still have one more quart to go)
And pretty soon I will love wearing sandals and capris with my brown feet uncovered! B)

Love the stillness of morning - sipping coffee, checking email, peeping at the kids still snuggled up in bed, my furry "baby" Max curled up in my lap. The most peaceful time of the day in our house.
i look forward to waking up next to my best friend and quietly tip toeing downstairs to start the coffee and breakfast. Then I sit with my delicious coffee and read the nytimes for 30 min before I get ready for class. This is undoubtedly my favorite part of the day!
The first words out of my little one's mouth in the morning is usually "milk", which I gladly warm for her. Then watch her sit on her beanbag, gulping her milk, usually with her kitty blanket covering her eyes for the morning brightness ;-)
Mornings are a very special part of my day. I'm the first one up so I get that quiet, slow "me time" with my coffee. Then one by one little faces wake up to greet me.
What I love about mornings is the possibility of having a fabulous day. And if it doesn't work out, there is always tomorrow!
My favorite thing in the morning.. I am woken by the sound of my son on the monitor.. I walk into his room and he smiles, does a great big morning stretch, and lets out a big fart.
Cuddling and whispering in bed with Tim before the kids have realized we're up!
Beautiful pictures! My favorite thing about mornings? Coffee. Definitely coffee. ;-)
I love when my twins get up and say good morning and I love you to each other.
Coming downstairs to my 2 girls eating breakfast with their dad and their faces light up to see me. And the first sip of Diet Coke.
I love waking up to the sweet voices of my 3 and 1 year old and then suggling with them in our bed until we can kiss and snuggle no more. That is a perfect morning!
I love my hot cup of coffee with half and half (I'd love cream even more, but you know how that goes) and having a few moments of peace in the morning before my daughter wakes up. It doesn't always happen, but it is delicious when it does!
OH IVE BEEN WANTING THAT NECKLACE!
my favorite thing about mornings is waking up to my little boy giving me kisses and whispering "good morning mama..."
I've been eyeing those necklaces since your initial post about them. Unfortunately they just aren't in our budget right now but oh how I would love to win one! And there is nothing better than being woken by my son calling my name in the morning.
O mornings. =) I'm a pretty light sleeper, so I'm always semi-awake before my husband, who can sleep through anything. My favorite morning moment - when I feel him wake up, because I know, sure as Christmas, that in 2.5 seconds he'll roll over and wrap his arms around me and doze for a few more minutes before we both start the day. Best feeling ever. =)
drinking hot chocolate and eating graham crackers in bed....we eat them on daddy's side so he finds the crumbs later that night.
I have been waking up each morning to my daughter's smile - not at me, but at the star lamp that hangs over her bed. The joy on her face as she babbles at that light is precious!
Turning on my Kuerig and knowing that when my daughter wakes up, I can see her sweet face again!
My mornings? Hands down coffee and seeing my two little grins when I hug them good morning.
Mornings are my favorite. There are so many things I love; sleepy grins, long hugs, baby babbling in the crib. My favorite would have to be how every morning my oldest (3 years) goes into the baby's room (8 months) and says, "Good morning, chubby. Did you have a good nappy?" Melts my heart every time.
I am beyond blessed.

I love slow Saturday mornings that start off with both kids snuggling in our bed. Then they help Daddy make cinnamon rolls (the Pillsbury kind from the can).
Where did you find Lainey's Cinderella brush? My daughter would love to have a princess brush to brush her own hair with.
The snuggle time, both my 2 year old and 4 year old boys crawl into bed with us as soon as the sun rises. . .there are whispers and giggles and lots of hugs.
I LOVE the mornings when I have absolutely nothing to do but snuggle on the couch with the kiddos a hot cup of coffee. Total Bliss!

putting ellie down in her swing and then drinking my coffee while she dozes and i check email!
Mornings - I luv the cries of joy when I tell them cocoa mini wheats are for breakfast!!
Nothing better than a good morning! And that necklace is incredible.
My favorite part of mornings are when my 5 year old climbs into bed for a few morning snuggles before we start our day.
My favorite things about mornings are when my little guy wakes up sleepy and still wants to snuggle or when we put off breakfast for a little impromptu dance party in Abbey's room.
Coffee, fuzzy baby bed head, the sunlight that floods our house, and a sippy cup full of milk. In my old life, i hated mornings. Now I live for mornings (c:
Love your morning pictures.
I love hearing my 18 month old girl happily call for me from her crib and my 3 and a half year old boy come downstairs all by himself with a very proud smile.
Your girls are too cute for words! I love seeing them grow on your blog.
I've always loved walking into my Son's room in the morning to see him standing in his crib with the biggest, happiest smile on his face. He's grown now, I really miss those mornings!
Love my morning coffee too. Wish today was as sunny here as it is in Naples. I NEED MORE SUN!!!!!
Sitting and enjoying the first cup of coffee with my man :)
I get up REALLY early and do my workout for the day......this is my only alone time of the day and I love it!
I love hearing our sweet baby "talking" when she wakes up, and I see her clasping her hands together smiling at me when I go in to pick her up. :) So sweet.
I love this blog! Thanks for all your inspiration!!!
My favorite thing is waking up stuck between the husband and the dog who always sneaks onto our bed in the wee hours of the morning. Love, love, love it. :-)
What I love about mornings is my 18 month olds "pajama smile" and her "scare hair". Also the snuggles I get from her and my 4 year old boy.
Love those smiles! I love the quiet of the mornings in our house, none of us are morning people, and we all stay pretty quiet while we wake.
my favourite thing about mornings is staying under the warm covers until i have to get up ! love your blog Kelle
The bath tub photos are breath taking! I love all three girls jumping in our bed for morning snuggles.
no question my favourite thing about mornings is when the girls get into bed with us, and we're all cuddling in bed together before the day gets going. :)
My favorite thing about mornings is when both boys climb into bed with my husband and I and snuggle with us as they giggle and whisper to each other. I love smelling the tops of their heads and having their little bony bodies wrestling around in my space.
oh, the bath photos- so so sweet. mornings are precious and savored in our home because my little one comes snuggle in my bed to have mama milk, then we read books until it's time to wake up her big sister. i love those slow, unhurried mornings. i know they are fleeting, and that makes me love them even more.

What I love best about Saturday mornings is how happy Kaish is when he wakes up and knows he gets to go to acting class. He is just thrilled. I love that he doesn't have to worry about the stress of school. He has a whole day of acting and then play! It is my favorite!
I hope your Saturday and Sunday are filled with wonderful moments.
Love, Becky
I love waking up to sunshine pouring in through the blinds and whatever position I have managed to get into while sleeping is currently the MOST comfortable position EVER, and then realizing it's Saturday and I don't have to move yet :)
When my husband comes in to wake me up after his shower, he walks in carrying one of our cats. The two are so sweet together it makes me so excited to see him with our baby who will be arriving in 2 short months!
Favorite thing about mornings... Relaxing in my jammies with my little lovies and my husband. Oh, and iced caramel macchiatos. ;)
I love waking up to sunshine & coffee & knowing that today I get to spend time with my 4yr. old & 3yr. old nephews. I look forward to those days more than any other.
Also any morning I look out my window & see something worth photographing.
My Morning Love...on my days off, I get my girls', bring them into bed with the Hubs and I and we snuggle and watch some morning cartoons.
My favorite morning ritual happens on Saturdays. We don't set alarms - we wait and let our 2 1/2 year old wake the world up. You hear him yelling, "DADDY!!!!" on the monitor and we yell back "LOOOOGAN!" He says, "Yes?" And we ask him to come get in bed with us. He does, then quickly jumps out to get his own pillow and blanket. He climbs in bed again and then quickly jumps out annoucing he needs a book and runs to get a book. Then we settle in for some morning reading/dozing and then it is a big tickle party before we head downstairs for breakfast. I love our family cuddle time!
My favorite thing about the mornings is when all 3 kids crawl in bed with me.. It is the best!
I seriously get giddy when I come to your blog and realize you have written something new. You make the simplest things, like playdoh hotcakes, a memory to be cherished. Thank You!
Favorite mornings include my 2 girls (18 and 16) getting in bed and cuddling with me.
The best thing about mornings is lounging in my pj's and sipping coffee!! Oh and of course cuddling my 15 month old son!
My favorite part of mornings are coffee (which I lost my mind & gave up for lent!) and sleepy cuddles from my <3 's.
I love when my toddler wakes me up by giving me 'eskimo kisses' (rubbing noses with me), and asks "mumeee get up, play with my toys please"
Pure cuteness, even when you're not a morning person at all!
I love that Nella seems to fall asleep everywhere, the bathtub photo focussed on her feet is absolutely adorable! xx
I love all beautiful photos in this post.
Although I am NOT a morning person my favorite things about mornings are: Ryko calling "mama" from his crib, snuggles with Ryko when possible (aka when I am not running out the door late for work), and coffee.
My 2 1/2 year old son sporting his sunglasses at breakfast because "it's just too bright mama... I just woke up"
I love that I am the only one getting up early. I love kissing sleeping love and sleeping baby and slipping out the door. And I LOVE sitting at my desk waiting for the work world to wake up while I sip coffee and catch up on my blog reading.
I've always hated when the sun relveals the dust in my house, but now I will never feel that way again. Thank you for showing us that dust can be glitter just depends on if you see the glass half full or empty. Beautiful post as always!
My morning loves:
1.The spindly bed head hair on my punkin when he wakes up, and how he has to locate his little bear blanket and cuddle it before we can take him out of his crib.
2. Cuddling with my man in bed for just a few more minutes before morning begins.
3. The granting of a new day... and it's up to me with what I'll do with that day.
As a working Mom I love my weekend mornings since we don't have to rush in the morning to get out the door. I love my weekend cup of coffee in a mug and not a travel mug and pj cuddles with my 2 year old while watching Melmo (Elmo) or Clue (Blue's Clues).
I love how my daughter wakes up and requests "sprinkly french toast" for breakfast every single day.
The best part of my morning is my 2 year old saying 'mornin momma' and my goodbye kiss from my 5 year old before he leaves for school. Priceless...
I love Saturday and Sunday mornings the best, when we don't have to rush and I get my twin girls into my bed, and we cuddle and then have tickle fights. Tone
My favorite thing about mornings? Checking out what my little guy's hair looks like! Every day a different crazy flop of blond locks!
Favourite thing about mornings at the moment is my 2 year old deciding what to have for breakfast: "Mummy, no toast, eat horridge."
I love the way my 4 and 1 year olds only want to snuggle with me on the couch...me, them, a blanket or two and all is right with my world! It's the best time of our day!
We haven't seen very much sun lately here in Idaho, so I am loving sitting in the warmth of the sun when it peeks out :)
another post of great pictures.....
i love to hear the giggles of my 5 kids in the morning...so innocent and happy.....
Recently my favorite thing about mornings is snuggle time in bed with our newest addition (three weeks old) while the sun shines through the trees into our bedroom. Pure joy and so peaceful!
What a perfect post on a perfect day - the sun is finally OUT!!!! My favorite part of the morning is waking my little sleeping boy wake up. When we walk in there and he's standing in his crib with a huge smile as if to say, "Hi Mom, I'm ready for my morning hug!"
Morning snuggles are the best!
The best thing about mornings is cuddle time with my daughter in my bed while she drinks her milk. It's usually the only cuddle time I get in a day.
Best thing in the morning is when I get to wake up hearing through the monitor my little girl Ellie having a 'converstaion' with her teddy bear in her crib. Sweetest sound ever and puts a big grin on my face every time.
Wow I wish I could take pictures like you! Love them all, but the first one of Nella has to be my fave, love the sun streaming in behind her!
my current fave thing about morning? watching my girl wake with a smile that crests like the sun on the eastern horizon. it's a wonderful thing...
happy weekend, mama.
p.s. love Nella's weird-science bed-head loveliness.
I must admit, I am not a morning person. But seeing my son happy and ready to greet the day w/ enthusiasm, ready to explore and enjoy EVERY single day- full of energy and excitement- is the best thing about my mornings.
Ps. I have loved that necklace since the very first time you posted about it!!
Sounds like a lovely morning!
I love laying in bed in the morning, listening to my girls giggling in their beds as they wake up.
i love the sun coming through the window shades, and the big breakfasts we make on the weekend mornings
My favourite thing about mornings are cuddles with my sweet baby girl. My favourite thing about THIS morning was breakfast in bed (thank you, husband!)
I love, love, love little kid bed head! Makes my day, everyday!!
The best part of my morning is that it's all mine. While Brinlee sleeps I can watch tv, shower, and sit in quiet. I love the day noise of a playing baby and excited puppies, but I never take for granted the quiet.
I love that my newborn boy is happiest in the morning time, just like his mama. That's when I get the most coos and smiles. Perfect start to each and every day!
Ahhhh! I would LOVE to win that necklace. My favorite morning activity is retrieving my little boy from his crib. He wakes so sweet and happy.
Morning loves: red curls in wild disarray, a good morning grin, and a sweet, whole-body hug from my two year old son.
The way my baby claps and smiles when I come in her room in the morning!
What I'm loving about mornings is..
1.early morning feeding sessions with my 12 week old
2. The cuddles that follow those feeding sessions
3. The smiles that I get from her in those wee hours off the morning
4. Knowing that my husband and I are the only thing that she relies on every morning to be there for her :) total bliss
Love Nella's pajama grin....best ever, sweet girl!
Favorite things in the morning: My 10 year old Gabe who is not too big to come snuggle with his mama who is still too snoozey to completely wake up. He lays there as still as he can with his cold piggies wrapped around my warm ones. Then after a while, he whispers, "Mom, can I go get Nora?" And he ever so gently puts his baby sister in the middle and gives her kisses and "I love you's" before sneaking out for cartoon watching.
Happy Saturday!
Kelly
What I love most about mornings is waking up to hear my son over the baby monitor say "Um, Mama? Mama?" to get me to come in and get him out of his crib.
My favorite thing in the morning is waking up to my sweet baby boy jabbering over the monitor. Actually, that's one of my favorite things ALL day. :-)
I love waking up to the sound of my twin girls singing in the morning and making each other laugh. I always know it will be a good day when it starts this way.
My favorite part of a beautiful spring morning in Southwest Florida is the birds chirping outside my daughters window. She wakes up every morning saying "mommy birdies" "eat Birdies".... after her breakfast she gathers her scraps and we feed them out back under our shady oak tree. ENJOY YOUR MORNINGS!!!
Amazing smiles yet again!!
The most thing I love about mornings is when I nurse my 9 month old. It's 7am, husband is still in bed the dog is lying upside down on the couch, tongue hanging out and it's quiet, with no one around.... just me and my little senorita.
mmm... delicious! Hannah blogged with Here Comes the Sun on a rare Februray day in WV...
http://likemamalikedaughter.blogspot.com/2011/02/here-it-comes.html
Lattes with honey. Smiley baby in footie pjs. Husband with rumpled hair.
Oh, how I covet those necklaces. :-) My favorite thing in the morning has to be my little boy snuggling in between us and drinking his morning bottle of milk. He is all jammied up and rolls over when he is done so we can scratch his back and give him kisses. So sweet <3
I love early morning when my cat comes into bed and curls up in my armpit and purrs until i wake up to pet her. It's a very comforting and lovely way to start my day
I love when my 18 month old, Presley Jane, rolls over on her belly, tucks her hands underneath her, and curls into a little diapered ball on her changing table as I try to dress her as if to say, "7am is just too early Mom!"
I love that glimmer of recognition followed by a giant grin when she first sees me in the morning.
Love LOVE LOVE these pictures!!
Favorite thing about this morning:
Waking up to cat jumping up the wall to catch a bug and chattering when the bug was just out of his reach!
:)
Sunshine
That is the most gorgeous necklace I have seen in forever!
Waking up and getting out for an early morning run while my 13 year old watches his siblings because he just knows that we will ALL have a better and happier day when Mom gets that 45 minutes of total peace!
Oh my...where do I start? Well, the bathtub pics were my favorite and I looove the little pruney toes...so cute! I think it's precious that she feels so happy and safe that she'll even fall asleep in the bathtub.
i wake up 30 minutes before my girls. i sit. i drink coffee. i read blogs. and when i hear their little voices calling me to come get them, i do so happily. i've had my time, it's now theirs.
Best things about the morning: crazy cowlicks in my boys' hair, sun glinting on the frosted grass, a snuggle from my little one not quite ready to be awake yet, and, of course, coffee. :)
Coffee, my morning run, the happy baby I get to spend all day with & the honor of being married to a great man who I kiss goodbye everyday as he goes off to work to support his family. I am blessed.
That first cup of coffee, with flavored creamer, poured and brought to me in bed by my beloved. And, on PERFECT days the beloved and the babe snuggle up with books while I sip!
i love seeing the sun rise, which means those first rays are soon going to be pouring in my window.
I LOVE getting up earlier than everyone and enjoying that warm cup coffee with the house being so still and waiting to hear who will wake up first!
Mint Green Tea and watching my daughter "read" books as I look on :)
I love the fog over the streets at Morning time.
I love the mornings because they are true family time. Even if it's hectic because the alarm didn't go off or just laid back watching movies on the couch on a Saturday. It's MY family, untouched by the craziness of the outside world. It's a "beautiful mess" with coffee included! I wouldn't have it any other way!
Ilove mornings simply because we have another day with those we love most, what will we do today to remember tommorrow?
Waking up to silence, going out onto the porch in my robe with a cup of coffee just as the sun is stretching over the yard. Michigan summer mornings <3
sweet, or not so sweet, morning baby breathe!!
Our boys hanging out in the bed with us before we get up! Those are the memories I'm trying to etch in my mind.
my most favorite thing about mornings? cuddling in bed, all 5 of us, as a family. boys tumbling over their daddy ready to get a jump on the day and my baby girl snuggling and giggling and letting me kiss her little face all over while we watch and laugh at the boys. can't get enough of it....
Getting ready in the bathroom after my wife has because it smells like her in there...her soap, her hair 'stuff' and her perfume...evidently the same as yours! Chance by Chanel (I know since I buy it for her!)
What I love about weekend mornings is knowing I don't have to wake up and rush out of the house ... I take my time lounging around with cappucino in hand, watching a little TV, thinking about what to do that day. Happy weekend! (PS your bathroom reno a little while back inspired me to embrace my 1973 'goldenrod' coloured tile to find an amazing coordinating shower curtain and paint the walls green ... byebye all white, hello colour!)
My 3 kids waking me up with a doctor kit to listen to their 2 new baby brothers on their way!
The other morning I woke up to the sweeet sound of a small little voice saying "Mommy, Mommy, wake up Mommy". As I opened my eyes, there stood the sweetest angel. Her hair looked angelic, her beautiful hazel eyes wide open, a soft smile on her face and she had gotten her fairy wings. I enjoyed getting awoken by my angel that morning :)
I have to say too that I love the beautiful pics of the girls in the tub. They are just gorgeous. What an awesome moment/memory to capture on camera.
I love nothing more in the morning that waking up with my little girl snuggled close up next to me, her big brother bouncing in the room wishing us good morning and coming to snuggle up too for a family hug before the day begins!
fave thing about mornings? strong coffee and over-easy-farm-fresh eggs with toast. and secretly making breakfast for my husband while he sleeps in - it never fails to make me feel good!
what a wonderful mothers day idea! how fun. happy April!
Favorite thing right now looking over the pictures i took from New York City this weekend.
Have a great weekend!!!

Not a morning lover! However, I do love waking up to sweet, slobbery kisses from my 12 month old. It's her way of saying "rise and shine". Love the tub picture with the pruny piggies!! Priceless!!
Favorite thing in the morning - those first still-sleepy smiles from my littles!
I love watching the sun rise behind the mountain when the air is still crisp and cool.
Beautiful! I love love my mornings with my 4 month old; my favorite part is tip-toeing into the nursery to check on her when I get up, and she is already awake and quietly playing with her feet. Then when she sees me, her face lights up in a gorgeous smile.
I am now an official follower. Or at least I hope so. This is the 3rd time in 10 minutes that I have tried to leave a comment!
My son was sitting here with me while I read your newest post & I said to him as I was looking at the pic of Nella with her smile as big as the sun "Isn't she cute??" and he says "Yes, and by the look of her smile, I bet she is ornery too!"
Love your blog & pics. You are such an inspiriation to "enjoy the small things" b/c they may be small.....but they turn into big ones & ones that you'll never forget!
I love that feeling of 5 more minutes when I hit the snooze button, throw my duvet over my head, and snuggle into my dogs.
I built two tree swings (one kids' size and one for me) out of rope and scrap wood and nailed pinwheel flowers to my henhouse that are now whirling like crazy in today's Georgia wind. I spun around on the tree swing for about 20 minutes with the wind blowing incredibly hard and my eyes shut just tight enough so I could only see the change of the sun and shadows while I spun.
God gave me this day, but I'm pretty sure the enjoyment of these small things and the simple beautification of this day is partially your (and your blog's) fault.
Just so you know.
What I love most about mornings is cuddling with my amazing hubby and wonderful son...Nothing better than that!!
LOVE those necklaces, so unique and beautiful!
My favorite part about mornings? My newborn son's bright eyes and coos accompanied by his own special form of baby aerobics.
Snuggles from my boy. He's such a great snuggler.
Definitely coffee. Some nights, I want to go to bed, only so I can then wake up the next morning to hot, strong coffee... :)
My favorite morning loves are seeing my bright eyed baby boys with bed-head hair smiling at me from their cribs!
My favorite is feeling my dog's (aka fur child's) cold, wet nose on my hand every morning letting me know it's time for his breakfast. After his "gentle" nudgings, he performs this crazy long doggie stretch that just makes me want to squeeze him:). Who could ask for a better start to the day?
My favourite morning begins with hearing my baby boy cooing and giggling in his crib. He is a morning baby and is always at his best at the beginning of the day.
Those tubby pics are AMAZING!!
your photos always take my breath away!!! Amazing girls, amazing mommy! (daddy too)
