L-O-V-E (A Free Printable & A Giveaway)

I've been typing typing these last few days and finally getting some (more recent) thoughts on motherhood into words.  I'm excited to share.

BUT... Until the posts are just right and I pose snap some photos that fit the topics perfectly to go along, I thought I'd leave you with these two treats:

First, this is a printable I found here that I adore. (If you go the website, you can download a larger version ready to print & frame for FREE!)
Really, I should just not write anything and let this sum it all up.  It's beautiful, and SO true.


And then, with that theme in mind, my sweet sponsor Stella Jewelry is giving away one of her very popular love bracelets.


To win, just visit her new website here, and comment below telling me the item you "love."  ;)


For a bonus entry, tell me (in a separate comment) what makes you love motherhood.  I'll announce the winner Saturday morning.

Sam is at Grandma's today, so I'm catching up on cleaning and blogging.  More tomorrow!

    I love bedtime. Saying Kane's prayers and he presses his tiny hands together and pinches his eyes tight and says "AAAAAAAMEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!!!" And hearing that sweet little boy voice call from his bed before I leave the room, "LOVE YOU!"

    (can I not enter the giveaway) and just mention the sing loudly and off key- some of my most favorite moments with my daughter are when we sing together- terribly- as in we are terrible.

    and we love to sing the star spangled banner together...it is the easiest to be the most terrible at!

    I am only a mom to 2 sweet puppies but I love how cuddly they are and how happy they get when they see you. I can only imagine a baby would be like this too :)

    Also, I am not a mother, but I am the proud Aunt to 2 sweet neices, with 2 additional neices/nephew on the way! My favorite part of being their Aunt is that I can share with them Jesus, reading them books and praying with them. I love reminding them that God loves them and that he made the earth - easy(ier) concepts for them. I am blessed to be their Aunt!

    And I'm not a mom, just everyones "aunt" these days and I love the clean baby smell and having infants sound asleep on my chest. I don't need to be a mom to appreciate that little moment.

    I love the June Necklace. I dont wear a lot of jewelry and the jewelry I do wear, I like to keep it on and not take it off. That is what I think I could do with that because it looks like it could go with everything.

    Hmm... What do I love about Motherhood? Pretty much everything, but I LOVE waking them up in the morning and them standing up in their cribs as soon as I enter the door with big smiles on their faces. My husband and I fight about who gets to walk up there and wake them up first when it is the weekend and he isnt working...

    I "love" the metallic purple Love bracelet! What elegant jewelry items she has.

    What I love about motherhood...how can I pick only one thing? I think my favorite part is just watching Noah be himself. He makes Caleb and me laugh and laugh, we just delight in his antics and his perspectives on life at this stage; probably similar to how the Lord laughs at our antics and perspectives!

    I love when my 18 month old puckers up for a kiss and then gives me a HUGE hug including little pats. I love that she is affectionate and sweet and not afraid to share her love. :)

    And you know I'm not about to miss out on an extra entry :) One thing I am going to love about motherhood is always having someone to smother in love and kisses. I really look forward to that. :)

    motherhood. well there are a million things. but today it is the fact that when ava wakes up she stands up in her crib and leans toward the door and says..."mommy. mommy. mommy" not crying. almost like a question.

    My favorite thing about motherhood is seeing Slaton's face light up when he sees his Momma and Daddy first thing in the morning. He always smiles and gasps like we're JUST the people he has been waiting for!

    My favorite thing about motherhood (well, one of my fav things) is when my baby girl and I wake up in the morning and I lean over her crib to get her and she beams with a happy morning smile :) It lights up my life and starts my day off right!

    I'm not a mother (yet), but I do have a 9-year-old niece that I spend a lot of time with. My favorite thing about my relationship with her is when, because I'm her "cool" aunt, I can teach her something and she really takes it to heart. This is a silly example, but several years ago we had a meaningful conversation about why it's not nice to say that people are fat (even if they are), and she just had this "aha" moment of realizing how it would feel to be on the receiving end of a comment like that. It was a pretty neat feeling. :-)

    I'm not a mom yet, but I'm a teacher in a school with a very high poverty rate and I become a "mother" figure to a lot of my middle school kids. I love it when they open up to me and we can talk about real life and they are not trying to be someone that they aren't! Hopefully my future kiddos will feel comfortable enough to talk to me that way!

    I'm not a mom, but I am a nanny... and although I dislike it when the boys are sick, I love it when they want to curl up and cuddle with me. :) I also love it when the one year old reaches for me wanting to be held :)

    I love the Gabrielle necklace. Is it bad this Southern Girl doesn't own any pearls?
