Do you know what I love?......

Chocolate. I do. Love it. And rainbows. And a crisp fall day. OH, with Apple cider. And leaf jumping. But not in a yard with dog poop. And a one on one chat with one of the kiddos. And when I do something silly and my kids laugh like I am the funniest person alive. Also, a beautifully composed photo. OOOH OOH OOH, I know. Celebrating life's heart-smiles with friends. Oh how I love that. And chocolate. Did I mention that. Wait... What was the point here. OH yeah...


One thing that I really really LOVE is reading "Look what God did." stories(stole that from you Andrea. thanks! :) ) Remember I told you about my friend Rebecca... well maybe you have already read her sweet little "Look What God did" story, cause I know you RAN over to enter in the giveaway and possibly to sign up for a blog makeover. Did I mention that she is doing this business to raise funds to bring home her little man. OWEN. Oh what a bundle of sweetness this little guys is.

Anyways, head on over to her blog again and read this sweet post. God IS in the little details.
Oh how your heart will smile. :)

22 heart smiles:

Ooooooohhhh...I hopped over there and read her story and wow wow wow. Not only do I love those striped toe socks that appear on her comments, but her blog is a delight in itself!
Thanks for sharing Amie! And I love chocolate too, and leaf piles with no dog poop, and kiddos, lots and lots and lots and lots of kiddos! ;)
Praying for you!

I came by because you had stopped by my blog and I wanted to say "thanks" and "hi"...but now I want to say "I love your blog and your beautiful family and your humor...and thank you for the link to Rebecca's blog because I just read her story and sobbed and printed it off and ran it over to my neighbor who is gonna love it too!"
OK, I think that sums it up. Oh, and I love chocolate too. Just ate some a minute ago!
