The simple things in life...

are always the best, are they not?

My children give me sweet, simple moments daily to tuck away into my memory banks and cherish forever...

Teamwork
(they *love* washing the dishes together...and I love that they love it!)

The simple pleasure of a day spent enjoying the sun,

relishing the feeling of sand between my toes...

Coral Toes
(with lovely new coral polish, to boot!)

...watching Anthony kayaking with Jett...

Kayaking with Daddy

Kayaking with Daddy

Kayaking with Daddy

...snatching a daydream or two in a peaceful moment...

Daydreaming

Daydreaming

...teaching India how to reel in a fish,

and smile for the camera...

India

...which is *very* serious business...

India

And simple jewels made with heart and thought...

  4. LOLOLOLOL Nicole, no doubt! Just don't tell him that I'm saving it for his 21st birthday too ;-) And yes, it was the most peaceful day...just what we all needed :-) Miss you! -xxxooo-

    Sandi, it really warms my heart to watch them washing the dishes together...they love it! It's a shame that Jett seems to have an aversion to clothes LOL :-) Hope you and yours are well! -xxx-

    LOL Marie, our two certainly have their moments but are surprisingly good at sharing. Maybe it's because they're boy/girl they're less competitive with each other. Glad you and your sister can laugh about it now :-) -xxx-

  5. That first picture is just precious! A certain little girl here has the exact same aversion to clothes, it has been known to happen when she visits other houses too!!

  8. Excellent training - the sooner they can do the dishes the better ;) Beautiful pics, great to see you and your lovely family having such wonderful moments and that you are taking the time to enjoy them. And absolutely delicious jewellery pieces, as always!

  11. When I initially commented I seem to have clicked the -Notify me when new
    comments are added- checkbox and now every time a comment
    is added I receive four emails with the exact same comment.
    Perhaps there is a way you can remove me from that service?

    Thanks!
