this is why

This is why we play in our basement even though it is not finished. It makes a nice indoor playground.

This is why I miss her so much. She was always involved and always happy.


This is why I coupon. This is what $200 worth of groceries/toiletries/diapers/wipes looks like, but I only spent $100.


This is why I hate puzzles. It took us a week to complete, and 1.5 minutes to destroy.


This is why I buy stuff from the Children's Place for myself. I thought it was awesome that we had matching leggings for Valentine's day.


This is why I want to be like my mom and dad. They were creative enough to think of giving the girls balloons with super long ribbons so they could reach them even with our high ceilings.


This is why I emptied the girls' piggy banks while they were awake. They played with the money for 30 minutes while Rick and I rolled all of the change.


This is why Toddler Valentines are so cute. Reagan drew this heart and wrote love all by herself.


This is why I love mealtime with Kennedy. She cleans her plate spotless and then likes to play with it.


This is why I have artwork everywhere in my house. Reagan loves to make art and is getting pretty creative.

This is why I love my girls. Because they make me smile.

I saw in a magazine that a lady took her daughters favorite drawings and collaged them onto a big canvas and sealed it and it hangs over their couch. It looked pretty cool for future reference. Might even be cool for her room.
