Why is my camera upside down on my desk?

Why is the cereal dumped out on my living room floor?

Why are their yogurt containers on my bed?

Why is my mascara "painted" on my bathroom counter?

Why are all my kitchen towels suddenly beds for stuffed animals and babies?

Why are there play cups and saucers all over the place?

Why are there markers and impromptu abstract "paintings" all over my hallway walls?

Because of her:

Because of  her I am reminded to take pictures of all those little moments and laugh.

Because of her I am constantly aware that I need to put *everything away* and out of reach.  Nothing is sacred.

Because of her I am keen to the fact that she watches my every move, putting on makeup and painting and creating and that ultimately, I am her life role model.  

Because of her, I am aware that I need to focus on the now…not the "someday."  I need to slow down, take a break and just play and imagine.

Because of her, my life is richer, happier, crazier, more exhausting and more lovely!  She is my darling one.

(Just an impromptu "love" post –  I love February!)
