Spring Break

This year my kids had an extra long

Spring Break, a week & a half.

 

The first day of break Annie & I typed out

a list of things we were going to, or really wanted to, do. 

 

 Tomorrow is the very last day before

heading back to school on Monday

& we got everything on this list checked off:

 

 

They did a lot of fun "stuff"

but that's not what made it special.

 

It was the smiles.

The excitement of trying things for the first time.

But, as exciting as learning to ski AND going down your first "black diamond" all on the same night is,

(That is my husband for you)

 

 

lots of the "specialness" was in our own kitchen.

 

In the quiet moments of concentration & togetherness.

 

 

 

 In my amazement as I watched her work,

she designed & filmed her own cooking show episodes

& started a new cooking blog.

 

 

 

In the wonderment of a new fish.

 

Everyday was special.

 

Because I had my 5,

 

 

and they love each other.

Charm Bracelet Giveaway

Annie & I feel like the luckiest girls in the world!

 

We were offered a chance to choose CHARM IT! bracelets & charms, but the best part is...you might get the chance too!

 

 

 

You should have seen us

pouring over the Charms on the CHARM IT! Website!

She was literally squealing!

It was so cute!

 

Then, when we they arrived in the mail...

...she proclaimed it, "The best day of my life!!!"

 

 

 

We got to pick out a chain...

 

...and 5 charms. 

 

 

If you want to see what Annie picked click HERE.

 

I picked things that remind me of her, of us.

 

Being the only girls in the house we treasure our girl time,
 and as often as we can, we have secret chats while I paint her nails.

 

We both agree fro yo is one of the best inventions EVER!
We sneak out for little Frozen Yogurt dates.
 

 

And this darling little charm brought back so many memories

of her "Growing Up Too Fast" birthday party!

 



 

 

  

 And you know how passionate she is about making a difference.

When I saw this locket...I had a little leap of joy in my heart.

 

 

She believes it!

 

 

This heart with all its' sparkles, reminds me of her heart, 

it captures all the different colors of her personality.

 

 

I knew I had to have it.

 

It's soooo much more than a bracelet,

it's our story.

 

 

I knew from the website how cute the CHARM IT! charms were but once it arrived I was really impressed with how well made it was.  It's even little brother proof!  The attention to detail on each charm is amazing.  We had so much fun together admiring the tiny details that make each charm extra special.
