Cupid's Mission

Ahhh love is in the air...Or at least it will be soon!

 


Here are a few ideas to make this Valentine's Day special!  

 Family and Friends 
  • Leave a sweet message on the bathroom mirror (use lipstick for your sweetie and dry erase markers for your little ones).
  • Serve breakfast with a Valentines theme - Pretty pink eggs,  Precious pink pancakes (cut into darling heart shapes) and so on. 
  • Your children will love this-write 26 notes using each letter of the alphabet to describe what makes them special.  Hide the notes all over the house revealing clues to make them hunt for their treasures. 
  • Little girls love having a special tea party!  Top it off by having a mini makeover complete with hair, manicure and pedicure.  Nothing beats miniature pink toenails!
  • Sandwiches cut into hearts; make the perfect lunch.
  • Bake yummy cookies to share with your neighbors.
  • Design a homemade Valentine instead of a store bought card.
  • Before bed have each person in the family express one thing that they really love about everyone else.
  • Spend the day making special memories and treats with your children; then tuck them into bed early so that you and your honey will have some snuggle time.

Simply Romantic
I gave you some hints... now it's time for you to unleash your imagination...
  • Send a sizzling e-mail or text to your man.
  • Write a note for each year you have celebrated Valentine's Day together. Again, give him clues and make him search for the prize.
  • Prepare your husbands favorite dinner and serve in your bedroom by candlelight.  Don't forget to use your best linens and china.
  • Dress in something attractive...  After all.. you were a woman and wife long before you were a mother...
  • Light some candles..play some music..and dance the night away.
Be a friend to yourself.  I'm a firm believer that a wife and mother needs to take time for herself.  As women we wear many hats, and I know for me some days are exhausting.  I need time to fill back up and be rejuvenated or I become grumpy.  And like the old sayin' goes... if mama ain't happy ain't nobody happy!  So, at the close of the day take some time to enjoy doing whatever you love.  Me.  Well... I'll be soaking the cares away underneath a large mound of bubbles.

Hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day!!!

Until then...

Judgment Loomed

As I exited the door my heart was pierced with their animosity.  Hatred and poison spewed from their lips.  Murderer!  Whore!  Baby killer!  You'll rot in Hell for what you did!  Over and over...  The savage mob encircled me with no escape.  Screaming just a breath away from my face.  Shoving with such force I was almost knocked to the ground.  They spat in my hair.  Humiliated.  Tears streamed down my cheeks as I pushed through the violence.  Once inside my car I began to weep.   Even in the present their vile words reel through my mind.  Beads of sweat began to form in my tightly clinched fists.  Squirming in my chair... biting my lower lip as an attempt to hold it together.  Peering above the Pastor's head as though I was looking at him... knowing if I did I would burst into tears.  That was my experience at church this past Sunday.  To my relief the Pastor spoke words of love, life and truth NOT condemnation.  Healing and refreshing.  It was the uninvited memories that ha

A New Chapter

It seems like yesterday... I can still remember the moment his bare skin pressed against my chest.  With limbs too exhausted to move - still they found their way to envelope this tiny gift.  "Hi baby, I'm your mom."  With the sound of my voice his face turned to meet mine.  Deep, genuine eyes peered into my soul.  Doctors rushed about as I lay on the table, life draining from my veins, but the atmosphere did not speak of the danger lurking.  For just a moment... as that little guy locked me into his gaze.. all was perfect...Heaven met us both... and in our own world two hearts melted into one.   The room was quiet.  Doctors, family and friends had finally left us alone.  This was the moment I had been waiting for.  Yet I was terrified - terrified that I would fail him.  In silence I sat, fixated on the clear plastic basket that held my heart.  My breath heaved heavy as I picked him up.  Snuggling him between my legs I began to unwind the unending twirl of fleece that

O Christmas Tree...O Christmas Tree Part II

Welcome back!   I hope y'all are having a blast preparing for Christmas.  It can be hard work to get everything done.  Exhausting in fact.  I'm sure you've earned some relaxation time.  So, grab something warm to drink, prop up your feet for a moment and enjoy some time for yourself.  I hope you'll be inspired by what I've done and be challenged to unleash your imagination too. Jessie's Christmas Tour Part II Guests are greeted by an antique sled adorned with boughs and an adorable coat that my sons wore as toddlers. In years past, I've decorated in an elegant fashion.  I love the grandeur and opulence.  However, this year I decided to go with a more down home natural look and I absolutely love it! A simple way to display Christmas cards.   My mother gave me this nativity a few years ago.  It was handed down from my great aunt.   I miss her SO much.  Pulling this out each year makes me feel as though she is still with me.  It also reminds
