Yesterday was a full, full day. The little two stayed with my dad while the bigs and I went on a field trip for three. We started out by taking the van to the Honda place for an oil change. That wasn’t technically part of the field trip but it did teach about scheduling because man today could not have run any smoother if I’d tried. That makes my little planner’s heart so happy! We went to Mellow Mushroom for a tour and tips – not monetary tips, but tips on how to run a restaurant and make pizza. We played on the playground, and we took another tour…Kroger this time. (I have something interesting to share about that. Remind me to tell you later if I forget!)
BUT this post? This post is about the thing that Lydia loved most about the Kroger tour: flowers. I love fresh flowers, but rarely buy them. She wanted them and even offered to use her own money, so I caved. (She probably planned that, didn’t she? I’m such a sucker!) And maybe it wasn’t all for her. In all of my redefining, I’ve decided I need to do more to help keep myself me. I need to do things that I love and that make me happy. Because the old adage is true: If Momma ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy. So flowers for her, flowers for me. And then I can further “myselfness” by taking time to photograph those beautiful blooms. Here are a few of my favorite shots.
Beautiful flowers! I’ve been trying to keep fresh-cut flowers around the house lately. An inexpensive bouquet from the grocery store is just enough to make things a little brighter around here.
I am thankful I received those beautiful flowers from my beautiful family! I love fresh flowers. They really do make me so happy. I just smiled this morning when I walked into the kitchen and saw them. I smiled because they are so colorful and happy looking and they reminded me of you and your kiddos!
Thank you for rescuing me yesterday!
