I can't wait to see the family picture 🙂
As for the mud puddles, it takes everything in me to let them play in them…I am not a fan of the kids getting messy. But, I have been letting them do it; I know how much they like it.
I think purging is one of my all-time favorite highs!
The Oprah's favorite things episode made me smile too! 🙂
I'm just sad I didn't make your list of cool bloggers.. sniffle, sniffle 😉
I LOVE seeing dolphins at the beach. There is something so mystical about them, isn't there?
I love, LOVE to purge stuff! Hubs is a bit of a packrat, though…so I can't get rid of his things! But mine and the kids? Totally on that!
Glad you found something to smile about each and every day! What a wonderful month you had…and when you look at it all like that? So much to be thankful for.
Carrot cake and dolphins… what more could a girl ask for! Glad you found so many wonderful smiles!
Love that quote! I might have to borrow it. So many wonderful things to smile about. My favs were 3rd, 9th, 10th, 11th, 18th, 20th, and 30th. So jealous that you got to hang with mommy of a monster, kludgymom, and a beautiful mess. My favs. And nothing like a good old fashioned purge to make me smile. Thanks so much for joining up. Sure appreciate reading all your smiles and all the support you've shown me.
