<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Happy Weekend Friends! You made it through another week.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This week as I am preparing for my son's birthday party I am reflecting quite a bit. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Before  my children were born I couldn't fully grasp the comments that people made related to children growing up so fast. Comments like "don't blink, they'll grow so fast" and "they will be out of the house before you know it", I thought to myself how fast could they grow- we don't!  But now it is all making way too much sense and the reality of  my first born turning 7 this week  just doesn't seem right. I wonder, did I blink to much ?  And as much as I want him to grow up to be a loving, caring man, I also want him to be the little man that just loves on his mama and is not to embarrassed to say "I love you Mom" when he get's out of the car everyday at school or holds my hand walking through Target.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> I think I will slow down the blinking.... just a bit.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Speaking of love, it's all over the place  and I just adore these cute creations that are screaming I LOVE YOU!</span><br /><br /><a href="http://confessionsofaplateaddict.blogspot.com/2013/01/pottery-barn-inspired-love-pillow.html" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;">Confessions of a plate addict </a><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"> shares her </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Pottery Barn Inspired Love Pillow tutorial.
