Years back, when I had my first son, I decided to try Scrapbooking.  I bought every decorative sticker, border and paper I could find and paid a fortune printing out all the digital photos I took.  As my newborn got older, I had less time to scrapbook and by baby number two, I was done completely.

I hated the fact that I didn’t have the drive to create scrapbooks, because I always found them to be a wonderful gift to my parents around the holidays.

Then I found Scrapblog.

Every girl wants to be a princess. Walmart grants that wish. At Walmart every girl can be a princess for under $25.   Girls everywhere are talking about the new release of Disney’s The Princess and the Frog movie that comes out tomorrow, December 11 and all my friends are saying they can’t wait to take their daughters to see it.  Since I only have boys, I’m tagging along with my friends so I can feel like a princess, too!

With this movie release, there will of course be tons of merchandise all the girls will be asking for this Holiday season.  Walmart is keeping Christmas fun and affordable with Disney’s The Princess and the Frog movie merchandise!   Games, toddler bed sets, dolls – you name it! (more…)

What are some of the little things YOU do for love?  Do you snuggle up and read to your child every night?  Surprise your wife with flowers?  Have a special routine that means a lot to your family?

Last week, my joy came out of taking my kids to the park.  Josh is just starting to walk, and seeing the gleam in his eye on the slide and swing while his older brother ran around laughing just filled me with a sense of peace and love.

My family does little things for me as well, to show their love.  Last mother’s day, I woke to a beautiful porch swing for me to rock on with my kids and a greeting card that they signed all by themselves!  Granted, the baby needed help, but it was adorable to see the little scribbles on the beautiful card showing me they care.

I’m blessed to have two wonderful little boys, and one of the most important things we do for love is to remain strong in our faith.  To love each other and to love our God, we’ve formed a wonderful family tradition of attending mass together each week and having a peaceful lunch following it.  It fills me with a sense of love and completion, knowing these little ones rely on me so much and that I could create such beautiful babies from the strong bond of love I have with my husband.

What are the little things you do for love?  I’d love to hear your stories about you and your family or friends.  Every little gesture is noticed, people truly appreciate the time taken to show that you care.  Pick up the phone, send them a card or just give them a hug to let them know you care!
