The theme at iheartfaces.com this week is 'anything but a face'. My family is very musical we spend much of our Sunday's right here on this heirloom piano. This piano is over 100 years old and this will be the 5th generation of piano players learning how to play on this piano of mine. I am grateful for these hands on this piano that make my life full of music and love. Head on over there to see some non-faces. p.s. notice the tongue? He's obviously trying very hard to outplay his Daddy.

In honor of Go Red for Women  and Valentine's Day. ihearfaces.com  is doing a special contest on red. I'd been racking my brain on ways to be creative or stand out or use some awesome props. And believe me, I have some awesome props in red. I even have a pillow that says Call Your Mother all in red capital letters. However I was relaxing on the couch with my husband a few nights ago and all of a sudden he turns to me and says. Is that your heart beat or mine? So we test it to find out. As I take my own pulse I realize that my heart rate is BELOW 60. We're talking athlete heart rate. I've been really struggling with my body image lately wondering why I can't get those last few pounds off from baby J. But as I listened to my own HEALTHY heart rate I realized that I have a beautiful strong body. Full of power and in good health. I'm training for my first 5K in march. Don't worry... that's a HUGE feat for me. It may be a little more difficult to zip up those...

 Love, A Feel the wind in your hair.  Have your cake and eat it too. Feel beautiful in your skin.

This little pumpkin. We like playing love-heart-toe during February. She's just now beginning to understand how to play it and it's so much fun. She gets so excited every time I win AND everytime she wins. She looks so good in wind. They're having a contest over at iheartfaces.com It must have a heart. My entry has two. Little ones. in pink. Stay tuned for more awesome ones from this windy adventure. Click the link below to get back there...

One of the things that makes children so wonderful, is that they are so curious about the world. How would it be to wonder so much about the world that you stick anything and everything in your mouth, just to see what it tasted like. I love when babies are this age. They have a wonderful curiosity, a love of life and big eyes full of wonder. What I wouldn't give to put myself in their shoes and really appreciate life for what it is. Toes, for the way they're shaped to support my body. The joy I can get from just being outside in a wonderful body in a wonderful world. This wonderful competition is over at iheartfaces.com   There's a ton of talent over there! Check it out.

These are especially hard to find round here. I feel a little gypped. But I did my best. At least we can see snow from our house, right? That way we get the benefits of the beauty and we get to dress like this. Totally warm, possibly 65 degrees in this picture. In our own little way. THIS is our winter wonderland. We get to venture outside and PRETEND like we're getting some air on our snowboards. AND we get to do all other sorts of things like play tennis, go running, and play at the park. I give my husband props for his excellent modeling skills. And that mountain's not that far away. If we want to we can go sledding anytime we want. :)... or snowboarding... you pick. :) This is for a contest over at The snow pics over there are GORGEOUS. It ALMOST makes me wish I lived there. :)

Seriously! I was on cloud 9 when I found out. And I just have to say... possibly the best birthday present ever!
