This is just an eclectic glimpse of what I am doing and what makes me smile...no theme, no thoughts, in no particular order...
Primrose always help me to bridge the gap between poinsettia and pansy season!
Cheryl treated Cathy and I to an afternoon tea at the Grand America--and it was a treat. The picture of the three of us was "not flattering" and since we don't post pictures that make our butts look fat or our eyes look drunk-this is what you are left with--oh my, was it delicious! Since that day, I have taken more time to sit down in the afternoon with a cup of tea and relax for a minute.
The carmel treat in the background has gold-leaf on the top!
This ballon has been floating around the house at eye level for the past month--it always makes me smile when I round a corner and come face to face with it.
On a snowy afternoon, Obama and Luke declared a truce and took a nap. Whenever I see the two of them together I think of this poem my mom used to read to me when I was little.
Before Christmas, I planted some amaryllis bulbs--one never bloomed so I set the pot in the pool room. Imagine my surprise, when one snowy morning I went out there and found this...a sweet message from Mother Nature reminding me that I will make it through February.
Mardi Gras
Mardi Gras was a February holiday this year, on the heels of President's Day. It was a small gathering but discovering Louis Armstrong and Nate King Cole on Pandora really jazzed the evening up.
Unbecoming pictures with your mouth full only apply to me and my sisters--Jake ate at least twenty Beignets--and that is not an exaggeration!
Glitter becomes you Katelyn!
Rachelle can make eating peanut butter and jelly more fun!
Tawna and Andy always a party make!
Mary Poppins has taken more kids under her wings with a little help from Katie Nana Luke!
Little Logan has wormed his way into our hearts and brought back a lot of memories--Katelyn is probably tired of hearing stories of the Andy days before she was born.
In this weirdest of winters we were able to get in a ski day--I found I can keep up with Heather better when she is six months pregnant!
Before
After--let the spring cleaning begin!

This post makes me think, "February is a lovely month." Thanks for sharing!
Looks like a busy month to me! Sorry I missed the ski day! Hope we can get one more in this year! My kids want to know why we don't celebrate Mardi Gras...
This post makes me happy...and hungry. Where did you get the beignet mix? I agree, dinner is more delicious with coordinating music. I love Pandora. You will have to try Frank Sinatra next time you have spaghetti. It looks like not much has changed, you have a happening house full of love, pretty flowers, and yummy food. Miss it.
I am happy I'm not the only one who omits bad pics of myself :)
How can I possibly be the first one to comment on that desk??? That is so great! I love the flowers, I love gumbo, but I am seriously jealous of that desk. Maybe you can give me some tips on how you pulled that off. I'd love to hear anything you can teach me.
I love this kind of post. It's fun to see this window on your life, and it makes me feel like I'm going to survive February. Thanks!!
