You are a great mom, Jennifer. Your kids are lucky!

Also, you inspired us: we are going to make heart-shaped pizzas tonight! Thanks for the idea and the thoughtful comment.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Collecting memories. We have 3 children (ages 13, 11, and 7) and so often people make comments to me about all the things we do with our children and how it makes them “feel bad” that they don’t do those kinds of things with their kids. Well, the funny thing is that the things we do don’t cost a lot of money…in fact, usually they are free. Yesterday morning the snow was so pretty and the ice crystals on the trees were fantastic–my youngest son woke me up and said, “Mom I think you will want to go outside and take pictures this morning!” Well, he was right! So, on went the snow gear over our pajamas and we hiked outside to marvel in the glory of the icy frost! We ran through the snow and fell down, we jumped as high as we could, we looked for shapes in the snow which turned out looked like the states of the USA! What a super way to start the day! Memories were made…..and it didn’t cost a dime.

My friends often give me (us) a hard time about these things…but you know what my husband and I have just as much fun as the kids do! Maybe more! (On our first pajama run–we definitely had more fun than the kids!!!). We can’t wait for Valentine’s Day where we make our annual heart shape pizzas together…it’s these little things that count! And as our kids get even older I see the importance becoming even greater!

We love your blogs! You guys rock!
