Addie age 1"And above all watch, with glittering eyes the whole
world around you because the greatest secrets are
always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those
who don't believe in magic will never find it.
~ Roald Dahl ~
Addie age 3This week I learned from my children that:
- Your shadow is your best friend because it is always with you
- Monsters live in trees but they are scared of daddy's
- Sunshine is meant to be felt with just your skin on (even when it is 40 degrees outside)
- Flowers are for giving to people (especially the cashier at Target)
- Dirt is for toes
- One piece of broccoli is a tree. Two pieces of broccoli is a dark forest.
- Igloos can be made from an end table and blankets
- Tree stumps are for sitting on when you are sad.
- Big stretches of green grass are for taking a "belax"
- Trees are for hugging.
- Butterflies have mommies too.
- Nail polish and chapstick makes you a princess.
Watch with glittering eyes your children and you will see the whole world as it really is. And you may even end up believing in magic.
Happy Monday everyone!

What lovely observations, Sarah Jane! What a great way to start out a new week--everyone should read your post.
Simply, speechless!
Sarah, those words are amazing!
Sarah, thanks for such inspiring thoughts. Love you.
I love reading your blog Sarah! I always feel uplifted afterwards. Today I logged onto Google Reader and saw that the 'Your Heart Out' blog had an update, and low and behold there was a picture right in the middle that I recognized and love- an original Sarah Jane- (http://yourheartout.com/?p=2392)

Hi Sarah
You listed in this post all of the beautiful things you learnt from your children during the past weekend. Through them, look at what you have now taught via this blog entry. Beautiful, priceless and precious.
The photos in this post are just gorgeous. Addie's body language in the first photo and her facial expression in the second one say it all - she is captivated by what nature has to offer.
These are inspiring thoughts to take with us through the week. Thank you for sharing them.
This is just the most beautiful post. I so loved reading that. Divine.

Thank you for sharing that fabulous quote!

Beautiful post! So inspiring and yes, magical is the word.
I just love looking at and listening to your blog. I would LOVE to paint that picture of your daughter as a baby(not to sell) just because of how precious she is!! To answer the question about doing all of the packing, shipping, and creative side...we have some part time packers and shippers (my dad being one of them) Our framed art is outsourced, so our products come from two locations. It is definitely a juggle to get it all done. I couldn't do it without my husband. You would think after 10 years we would know what we're doing!
