cosmetics


This last Saturday
My daughter and I went
shopping for her she needed
new make up and skin care line
as she wanted to try something new
so we went into several cosmetic stores
they tried many different items and I gave her my opinion( which she let me know
plainly that my opinion was no help to her!)
after all the different cosmetic lines she tried we ended up
going to one store that specializes in just cosmetics and what I thought
would be a run in there and get what you want now that you tried them all
turned into a few more hours of decisions ( only to end up with the one
she started with!!!) maybe I am out of the loop but when did choosing the
right kind of cosmetics become such a chore! granted I wanted her to
have fun choosing and really get something that she liked but seriously I was not
planning on it being an all day thing. well at least I am grateful that after the 6 plus hours
it took her we had a pleasant dinner and she has been really happy with it!!!

Sunday she and I went to the movies ( she is my chick flick buddy!)we
saw Definitely Maybe it is such a cute movie!) in fact we decided if we can't find
another new one to see next Sunday we may go see this one again she liked it that much!
well all in all it was a great memory for me ( as much as I was grumpy about her taking forever
to decide I would not have traded that day for anything I am glad that she enjoys doing things with me.
she did let me know that one day soon we need to go cosmetic shopping for me
I am not sure I am quite ready for that yet!!!

valentines

Valentines... the day of love
people everywhere are out buying that special gift for their kids or significant other, there are those who
get engaged or even married. it like many other holidays has become so
commercial I admit there are times
I go out and buy something, but I also
find it fun to make valentine cards and
gifts for my little family. (My husband is not a big valentine day romantic he does give me a kiss and tells me he loves me but he does this everyday!)
anyway... every year on this day or as close to it I make my cards for the kids and my husband and
then I have always baked these special cookies for my kids. it has become something of a tradition which they totally expect every year so I made this batch and they were very joyful of the fact. (they love the homemade from scratch effect!)

I remember when I was a kid my mother would crochet these lovely little heart
pillows for my teachers


I'm not a person who can crochet ( I want to learn someday) but today got me thinking my little homemade goodness ritual I do for my kids is kind of the same as my moms it is done with love no matter how it turns out.

on this day I am also reminded of two of my utmost favorite sayings about love
the first being 1 Corinthian 13:4-7 Love is patient
and the second is this

Love is a happy thing
it makes us laugh
it makes us sing
it makes us sad
it makes us cry
it makes us seek the reason why
it makes us take
it makes us give
above all else it makes us LIVE

I am blessed with love from my family, for all my family
and to my blogger friends out there

I wish you a happy valentines day
