Happy Friday! It's a super, BIG, fun weekend ahead! My little dream team and I are attending the Playtime show and the ENK show. We're walking the floor to check out space, layout and to get inspired. Then, we're out for drinks to discuss and brainstorm! I'm so excited to have a day with these two wonderful women. They have been rock solid in their belief in me, and what the brand stands for. They are crazy talented, and I have a feeling I'm going to want to move into my booth space by the time we're done designing it! Check out Monday's post for a full update.
As I close the week, and look towards the upcoming weekend. I've been taking note of all those little moments that have added up to what was really a wonderful week. Because when you look back, do you really remember be stuck in traffic, out of eggs, or mail you forgot to send? Probably not, and if you are, start a new mental record! Perception is everything!
Jonah: (Holding up an Olivia pig and handing me Llama) mama, will you pway wif me?

Me: hi, I'm llama! Yes, I'm you're friend.

Ava: But, I want to take care of Daddy too! Me and Jonah both want to!!
(after being told she was spending the night at her grandparents when Andrew got out of surgery)

Walking into the market, a little cutie barely walking come careening down the aisle at me, laughing. A few minutes later, still laughing, I saw him nuzzling his mom as well. His mom now laughing too. Buckling my seat belt I faintly heard the now familiar laughter, and looked out my window to see this happy little guy in his stroller laughing, babbling and pointing. I was now laughing too, again. THAT was joy. I'm honored to have witnessed it. And proof positive you can literally share your joy!

As we discussed new biz seed money
Andrew: Personally I see this as a much better investment of our money.

Ava rolling in the grass, frolicking around as she giggles and displays the "beeauteeeful" white flowers (weeds) growing in our yard like Vanna White. All the while she's chirping, happily:
it's spring, it's spring! It's so much fun bc it's spring!!
~~~~~~
Andrew making me laugh so hard coffee dribbled out of my mouth and almost out of my nose.
~~~~~~
Geese proudly, if a bit arrogantly, but certainly with conviction of sense of self, crossing the road while 5 VIPs in cars (myself included) are forced to wait, take a moment and watch. We all look at each other as we pass, waving, laughing and smiling.
~~~~~~
Jonah: Is that mine?? Is that my big one? Actually, I want a big one.
little head can be seen over the edge of the counter, as he excitedly bobs up and down on his toes trying to see into the bowls of yogurt Andrew can't fill fast enough

Beautiful, surprise, 70 degree, sunny walk with Andrew, holding hands and everything.
