Welcome to my humble attempts at documenting the simplicities of my Real Life.

The journey is 365 days.

The purpose is to be reminded that the most important things in life are often the most simple.

My hope is to get back to basics and remember all my blessings; to never be at a loss of things to be thankful for; to sometimes not need words. This is my journal of these things.

Day 131

Jilly has been coveting the heart balloons at our local grocery store since they went up a couple weeks ago. Every time we go, all I hear about is "hot boons" (heart balloons). Ren hot boon. Peet hot boon. Purpa hot boons! (Red, pink and purple for those of you who don't speak Jilly)

Daddy brought her one home for Valentine's Day. She was thrilled and immediately started jumping up and down screaming "HOT BOON!! HAPPY, HAPPY!!!!"

Awww, the simple joys in life. May it be so for everyone.

Happy Valentine's Day.

I didn't have the heart to scold her for using the enitre travel box of wipes....after all, she was "cleaning."

Day 127

The "stroller mob" hit the park today. Three of us made the trek where the babies got cold and cranky. Cousins Evie and Elias got to hang out though!

(Thanks for posting this pic Niin....)
