monday

“Love is always bestowed as a gift―

freely, willingly, and without expectation. 

We don’t love to be loved; 

we love to love.”
~ Leo F. Buscaglia

it's a beautiful monday morning here, and my head feels a bit heavy which is not a very good start. i do need some fresh air, definitely, so maybe i'll hop on my bicycle later to go to the library and return the books i borrowed three weeks ago { *gasp* has it been that long? }. or maybe not. maybe i'll take the bus instead and daydream by the window. we'll see.

last week Kj's aunt & uncle in the netherlands celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary.  yes Diamond, how awesome is that? the burgemeester even congratulated them in their home with flowers and such and they were featured in the local paper. we wrote them a card, well Kj did as my dutch is a total muck, and he said something like, we're hoping we'll have the same long happy years as them...which totally cracked me up. he would be almost a hundred years old by then and me not very far behind him!  but well, who knows?! ^-^

ohh by the way, i'm glad some of you liked my new no-poo regime from my previous post. i've read about it first at Life Candy, she has more tips on going natural with your hair care, and i know you'll enjoy her blog very much! i found her blog through Toni's Wifely Steps when she was guest-blogging there the same week that i was. if you have other natural health and beauty solutions, fire away in the comments box. i would love to hear them! 

and before i forget, i'd like to thank iHanna for the sweet mention of me on her blog {apparently, we were on the same page in the Craft Corps book}! she wrote a fantastic review of Vickie Howell's Craft Corps book, you must check it out for inspiration if you're a crafter who dreams of making a business out of your craft.


thanks for dropping by, hope your monday's as delicious as my vanilla ice cream! ♥
