10 reasons...

 

he always does the dishes after i cook
he saves the last bit of chocolate for me
he holds my hand when i'm feeling anxious
he can grow things from seeds
he gets out of bed to turn off the light so i won't get cold
he feeds the pups in the morning so i can sleep in
he's the perfect height so my head fits into his neck when he hugs me
he says i have sweet eyes
he can bust out a rap like no one i know
he is my best friend

paperless post...

I received an email the other day about a new site called paperless post and I had to share it with you all...It's a new way to send invitations electronically that actually look nice...I was a little apprehensive going into it, because I love sending and receiving mail, but i made a mock bridal shower invitation just to check it out...and i would actually use this!

 

Not only are you cutting down on paper products, it's also way cheaper than buying the paper, envelopes, ink, stamps, etc, and invitees can RSVP electronically...I probably wouldn't use it for my wedding invitations, but for other events...totally.

just potters...

Recently our house has been taken over by trays and trays of little seedlings (lucky me, tim has a green thumb!) I've had the job of making little signs to go in each tray so tim can tell what's what, but I'm thinking these little guys will work much better when they get transplanted into the garden...from just potters on etsy
