{home}





We towed our sleepy boys through the door around seven o'clock last night. The thermostat was set at a what-would-normally-be-chilly, sixty-one degrees. The house felt warm though and welcoming compared to the nippy air outside. Knowing that we wouldn't feel that way for long, my first priority was to turn up the heat. With Baby Boy balancing on my right hip and purse and diaper bag hanging on my arm, I generously increased it to sixty-five. Nice and warm.


Diapers were changed, pajamas were zipped up and dinner was had. It felt so nice to be home.


Today has been relaxed.


Bossy Pants' friend {and speech therapist}, Mary, made her weekly visit today. He always enjoys that. We are very thankful for her. As she was leaving today he hollered out a very clear, "Bye Mary!" It made my heart smile.


I washed my newly acquired plates. Thrift store finds. They sit so nicely upon my plate rack. {Looks like I'll be making banana bread this week.}




I also spruced up my mantle a bit. Last week I dusted off some of my apothecary jars that have been in hiding and thought I would like them up there. I was able to find some things to fill them with while on our little getaway. Can you tell I'm ready for Spring? I do love how they turned out. Nothing fancy.




My little men are sleeping soundly now. Nap time snuck right up on us today. And now I'm off to unpack our last bag and make good on a promise to Baby Boy to meet him in dreamland. Besides, a nap does sound nice.
