In honor Valentine’s Day (even though I completely acknowledge that Valentine’s Day is a made-up holiday), I wanted to do a💗 LOVE💗 post.
Random things I love:
- a good cup of coffee. In all honestly, it doesn’t even have to be good. I just love coffee.
- a kid-free Target trip. Preferably with gift cards in hand!
- a clean, organized, nice-smelling house. Nothing feels better than a clean house!
- binge-watching Netflix shows like Once Upon a Time and Parks and Rec. Leslie Knope is my spirit animal.
- office supplies. Pens, markers, and binders, oh my!
- a planner. I’m not a “I’ll put it in my phone” kind of gal. Paper planner: all day, er-y day.
- color-coding. You better believe that my planner is color coded.
- a good book. (but it has to be a good-good book, or I won’t finish it!)
- a nice fall or spring day where we can be outside and not be cold. or sweat. I hate sweating.
- hand lettering. Chalkboards, cards, whatever. It’s relaxing.
- I loved to color before it was cool. Ask my mom. I wanted coloring books for Christmas 15 years ago.
- food. Any kind. Just food. I’ll take all of it.
Things I love about my husband:
- He is the most selfless person I know. He would do anything for anyone before doing something for himself.
- He does things and doesn’t tell people about it. That shows that he does it for the right reasons, and not just for the praise he might receive.
- He always puts me and the boys first. Whatever we want or need, he makes sure we have it.
- He truly does spoil me. He knows that food is my love language, so he will get me a Snickers over flowers any day. He gets me.
- He is the smartest person I know. I can’t tell him anything that he doesn’t already know. He’s like a walking Google.
- He can fix anything. Build Anything. He’s my handy man!
- He’s the best Daddy, always playing with boys, taking them on great adventures, and loving on them.
- He is my soul mate, my better half, my best friend.
Things I love about Finley:
- He is genuinely funny. He doesn’t even have to try. His one-liners are so good, I should write a book.
- He is the most caring, kind-hearted little person I’ve ever met. When I recently gave myself whiplash (jerking myself back up as I slipped on ice), he held my hand all day and helped me around the house. He just did it, without anyone asking or telling him to.
- He is so much fun. His imagination makes life interesting!
- He has the best facial expressions and gestures. He’s so animated and makes me laugh.
- His understanding of God amazes me. His love and outspokenness for Jesus is inspiring and puts me to shame.
- He is such a wonderful big brother. He is helpful, understanding, loving, and compassionate when it comes to his brother.
Things I love about Colin:
- He is the sweetest boy, always ready for cuddles, kisses, and hugs.
- His memory astounds me. He remembered how to get to the playroom at his ABA clinic after he had been there only one time four months earlier.
- He has such a slapstick sense of humor, and it’s the cutest thing to watch him laugh at people falling down or doing other silly things.
- He has a way of drawing us to the most beautiful things. When we went to Disney last month, he stopped and looked at a fountain that everyone else seemed to bypass. After stopping and looking, I realized that he had found the most beautiful scene at Disney Springs!
- He loves music and I love watching him dance to his favorite songs. He makes us dance too, which is entertaining.
- He is who he is and doesn’t care what anyone else is doing. I wish I could be more like him.
I know that I am a little biased, but my boys are so special. The three of them, together, have the most amazing qualities. I wish I could be as awesome as they are. I wouldn’t trade them for the best cup of coffee in the world! …..now a Target shopping spree…..nah. Not even for that.
