sunshine received a much needed new blabla for Christmas from grama and papa {we celebrated this weekend}

his original blabla was loved to death. i have a feeling this one will be too. 🙂

a secret fort is currently being constructed under our stair well. is it weird that i’m equally stoked {if not more so} than my kids? i think i might have to takeover and designate the fort as a creative retreat. 🙂

last week, turbo turned 7. i didn’t get my birthday letter to him posted yet, thanks to everyone feeling under the weather. i’m hoping to post that soon. i will say he got a vintage typewriter for his special day, and i love how much he loves it.

i’ve been thinking about and dissecting the world *HOPE* lately. i’m hoping to share my thoughts in a post soon.

hand lettering is fun and hard. i’m getting closer to a final product, but can’t decide which route to take with the design…would love your thoughts…

when sweet pea lays in bed at night, i’ll think she’s almost asleep and suddenly, she’ll chirp,

*mama? some people walk in the street.*

yep. every. night. sometimes it’s a question,

*mama? some people walk in the street?*

but always about people walking in the street. i have no idea where that comes from every. single. night. she also tells some amazing secrets,

*mama, i have a secret…….{whispers} EGG.*

really? wow.

*  *  *  *  *

that’s all for now, i’m off to bed myself trying to kick this crud’s butt. prayers you all are healthy and stay that way! and if not, get well soon friends!

cheers *
