{pretty, happy, funny, real}

Capturing the context of contentment in everyday life.

Do you read Like Mother, Like Daughter? Oh, you really should. It is such a good blog, written by mothers and daughters, and filled with such interesting, helpful, and uplifting content.


The posts on 12 year old daughters and competence vs. perfectionism alone completely changed my attitude on several things I've been struggling with around here. So good.


Anyway, LMLD has started a little Thursday link-up called {pretty, happy, funny, real} and since I am short on time today -- I should be squishing meatloaf as I type! -- I thought I'd post my pictures and skedaddle.


(My pictures are not in the proper order, but I don't have time to wrestle with Blogger, so I am choosing competence over perfectionism.)


Hope you are having a lovely day, my friends.




{real}

As in real big. And I still have five weeks to go. Oh baby.





{happy}

All it takes is a little Vitamin D, the old-fashioned way.




{funny}

Her concentration on calling someone - anyone! - cracks me up.



{pretty}

Our daffodils finally decided to show their flowers after a long winter.
