My Little Snow Bunny

One of the first biggest snowfalls of the year and she LOVED it! She didn't care if it was wet or cold or if she was uncomfortable in all those layers...She just enjoyed digging around in the snow and had a great time!

plain white paper

Plain white paper is how everything begins for me. An unmade list (shopping, to-do, etc.) starts out as an empty piece of paper and ends up full of notes, check, strikes, postponements, phone messages, 2 year old artwork...Plain White Paper can be how your day starts out, where anything can be accomplished and sometimes is or other times, nothing much is done (which can feel like a complete waste of a day) and you feel like you had so much potential but didn't use it to the full. That can be depressing, don't dwell on it too much, just be glad that there is another day coming and it too is plain white so, you get another chance. It's nice at the end of the day to look back and feel like your page is full and you can turn another one and start all over again filling it up with great things, sometimes not-so-great things, but all part of the many pages that make up our book of days lived.
Plain white paper is also the name of my little card business. I love making cards and each one starts out as a fresh canvas for my creativity. Every card I make is a true labour of love and I feel a twinge of sadness every time they go to a new home that is not mine. I hope though, that each card I make brings as much satisfaction and simple enjoyment to it's new owner as it does to me.

The best job ever

Just a few of the reasons why i Love being a Mom:

Hearing the door creak and a tiny little "mommy" after a napper has woken up
The sweet sleepy face and touselled hair of a napper woken up
Teaching a little person new things they are learning for the 1st time
Having a little person fall asleep on me, hearing their steady breath and feeling their little heartbeat
Getting kisses all the time, any kind of kisses - sweet little ones, sloppy, juicy, greebly...
Being the only one able to decipher their little language
Making an owie better just by a little kiss
