Wishing a Happy valentine’s Day to everyone. I spent my day in line at the pharmacy with a box of baby diapers, and chatting with the sweetest elderly man, who just so happened to have the same name as my father. He was enamored with my almost 6 month old was strapped to my chest like a little koala bear, smiling, and silently watching as our new friend chatted with me about life and children. My hubby is out of town, my oldest went sledding with his cousins at his grandparents, and I’m having a somewhat relaxing evening with the fur family and baby, sipping some immune boosting soup that I made last night. Not your stereotypical Valentine’s Day, but parts of it can certainly be romanticized and I think that might just be the key to living a beautiful, messy and creative life, plus I get to spend it with some real, little charmers.
