{mlm} feb. 18, 2013.

i like to use monday as a way to reflect on the previous week, to start anew, and to send a little love into the world.  won't you join me?    

today i am grateful for:

Weekends at our cottage in Northern Michigan.  With family.  With friends.  Winter or summer, it's my happy place.

pictures worth a thousand words:

{cannot. resist. ranunculus.}

{C's Valentine card to me - it's perfect}

{and my Valentine flowers :)}

{Burt Lake's annual polar plunge benefiting Special Olympics}

 {C taking the plunge!}

 {winter can be so beautiful}

 {after the festivities of the day, a quiet Saturday night with my parents watching Skyfall}

{snowshoe hike on the frozen lake before heading back to Chicago}

this week's blog love:

• This artwork inspired by The Lumineers is perfect - does anyone know the original source?
• Saving this one for later: The Everygirl's Bridal Registry Guide.
• A pink, gold & glitter party from 100 Layer Cake.  Need I say more?!
• I want to hole up in this Norwegian cabin for a weekend or forever - via dustjacket.

here's to another grateful and love-filled week.
