a question from brooks...

will you be my valentine??



with february in full force and valentine's right around the corner, i thought i'd get a head start on valentine's gifts.  
with the help of Tiny Prints i was able to make these ADORABLE cards to send out to grandmas, grandpas, family, and friends.  i mean, come on, who wouldn't want to open their mailbox to find these??

Tiny Prints has so many different options to choose from.  i literally spent an hour paroozing through the valentine's cards narrowing down my favorites.  it was so fun to see the different designs, color options, trim selections, etc.  
the website is so user friendly, even my technology challenged mom could figure it out! haha

i know i've posted pictures of brooks in this outfit before, but when i thought of valentine's cards i couldn't help but think of this dapper little outfit.  i love how this outfit makes him look like a little man meets the newsie boys... it was exactly the look and feel i was going for.
he's just a little heartbreaker.

so what do you think?  do you want to be his valentine?
he's taking applications in the form of comments :)

it's not too late to create a valentine's masterpiece.

see my first post ever (it's pretty lame..ha!) but then you will know why i started blogging.

7) What makes you joyful, happy, cheery, and makes you bring joy to others?
spending time with people i love (husband, baby, friends, family) makes me extremely happy.  staying up late and getting the tired giggles. when my husband surprises me by coming home early.  good hair and makeup days.  nice emails/texts that are unexpected. baby brooks' smiles and giggles... i could go on forever. 

8) describe your absolutely perfect day?
a nice summer day with my husband and baby at lake powell, soaking up the sun, riding in the boat, hiking, cliff jumping, eating loads of delicious food, star gazing, playing games, sitting around the fire, and lots of laugh. perfection.
