Celebrate This Week: January 17

by Stacey

Discover. Play. Build.
Last week I joined Ruth Ayers’ Celebrate Link Up for the first time and I was so glad I did. Just knowing that I was participating made me look out for happy things over the course of the past super cold 7 days.

The best example being #1. And yes, I did use my camera phone in the library bathroom. I was standing up if that makes the whole thing any better.

1. There was a “You Are Beautiful” sticker in the library bathroom. I’m pretty sure it doesn’t get much better than that.

2. I went to my first in person writing class in years. I am thrilled that The Writers Circle will be coming to my local area in April. Stay tuned local writing friends- classes for you and your children are coming to Ridgewood! But… in the meantime, I spent Wednesday morning in Maplewood and had the best time.

3. I am so desperate for spring that I bought tulips at Stop and Shop. They are a bit droopy but they make me happy.

4. I think Katherine has found a book series that she likes. While Boxcar Children is an old one, it’s new to her. She has been reading lately but she hasn’t had a go-to series for a while. I think she may stay with this one for a bit…

    Droopy or not, the tulips are beautiful. They bring the spring closer.

  3. Stacey, I am an email subscriber and nowadays the posts that come in my inbox have some gibberish marketing stuff attached to your original post, if you just send me an email, I will forward you the post that is coming to my inbox. I think there is some issue.

    Between I love and enjoy all your posts.

      Thank you so much for telling me! My mom is an e-mail subscriber too so she called me a in a panic! I have my web designer working on it. For some reason, I have this exact problem on and off and we keep ‘fixing’ it and then it comes back! Would you mind letting me know approximately when you signed up for e-mails? We changed the e-mail sign up process a few months ago to hopefully fix the problem so I’m just wondering if you signed up recently or awhile back? Thank you so, very much again!  My e-mail is sloscalzo1@gmail.com. Thanks! 

  4. Yep, the gibberish stuff comes through at the top of the RSS feed through bloglines, too.  
    I love seeing those tulips!  I may have to see if the floral department has any when I’m doing my grocery shopping today.

      Ugh! Thank you! We’re working on the gibberish. Good (well not good but you know what I mean!)that it’s coming in on bloglines too. We thought it was only an e-mail issue. Bummer!

    Love seeing the tulips!  I think flowers remind us that Soring will not be far away!

  6. I love droopy tulips – think they look even better that way. Looks like your Catherine is truly engaged in the Boxcar Children. Beautiful picture.
