PERSPECTIVE, pottery barn patio furniture displays, practically all track jackets, putting my hope in Christ alone, photography, pistachio nuts, parenting as a privilege, pairs of cute sunglasses, painful times deepening friendships, pink bubblegum ice cream (by the pint), perseverance, practical jokes, people, people i can trust, plumeria flowers, pearl earrings that were my grandma's, pantene smooth vitality conditioner, plopping clutter into the trash, pigtails all messed up after naptime on my girls, purel hand sanitizer, painting walls with color, pouring into people's lives, plush blankets, prioritizing, polished nails, pharmacies with 24hr drive-thrus, places where palm trees survive winter, packing away my 2009 "calendar", pacific northwest mountains & rivers, pie plates with fluted edges, purpose, puppies named bronson, preferring the word pacing vs. procrastinating, people who love to say i'm sorry more than they love to hear it, pocket-sized butterfingers, phone calls with special friends, piano music, patterned scarves, practicing not to presume things, planting flowers in pots, passion, penne pasta, panda bears reminding me of my love for HK & japan, pillows that are just right, praise & worship freeing people of pride & insecurities, paying for starbucks coffee with gift cards, putting on my running shoes, pomegranate mixed drinks, putting off dishes till company leaves, purses filled with lipgloss, people who can be vulnerable, parties for every occasion, politeness, plane rides to far away places, popcorn that's air-popped, paul marrying stephanie, pedicures, peaceful homes, price tags with a clearance sticker on them, pre-recorded tv watching, poverty prompting compassion, pieces of angel food cake & strawberries for breakfast, peeking in on my girls while they sleep, products from bath-n-body works, packs of trident spearmint gum, people who can laugh & be witty when life gets hard, paper plates in bulk, papa murphys garlic spinach chicken artichoke de-lite pizza, pretending my girls and i wrote 'put your arms around me' by natasha bedingfield for each other & singing/dancing to it each night after work to remind me to put grace & humor in EVERYTHING (towards myself & them) or it will feel like a really long work week, a very short life, and an inevitable amount of colorful language exposure that i couldn't possibly blame all on the playground...............

"5 Things I Love" Friday ~Colors & Coloring~

1. I LOVE: That this picture of adventure filled boots, perfectly color coordinated with my thriving flowers,  splashed with the last rays of sun for the day...brings me moments of things to smile about amidst all these rain and wind storms.
I NEED SUNSHINE!!!
WHO would have ever thought being born and raised as an eastern washington desert dwelling girl that I'd grow up and have pairs of rain boots all over my front porch!!???
(The pix of when i planted them a month ago)

2. I LOVE: These picture from my girls for me.
(Eden's)
I could jump into this scene! Hoping the skies will be bright and sunny around here like this picture for good! I'm having a hard time keeping up with Hallé's daily wardrobe consisting of first an outfit for wind, then a swimsuit for the sun and heat, then jammies for nap time, then warm clothes & BOOTS for the rain and windstorms at night!!!??

Hallé's My Little Pony Masterpiece for me 
Preschool...Here She Comes!

3. I LOVE: This Flower. The vase I love even MORE. 
It's an old salt shaker that my Grandma used and brought me flowers in once.

4. I LOVE: This Sun hat & these gardening gloves from my girls for Mother's Day
After gardening and getting my Hobo spider bite (left a gross scar on my finger & took over a month to heal)....these have been happily put to use.

5. I LOVE:  That I although I already declared an absolute refusal about a year or so ago to my kids that I would never draw a horse or dog because it's sooooo pathetic...Now, after Eden brought home the below picture she free handed at school for Africa week; I've now up'd it to pretty much ANY 4-legged creature!
