Love it, Sandy! What a great thing to learn that lesson at an early age. I hope it sticks!

What a lovely post! You’re making a difference in a little girl’s life. She must feel important, grown up, welcomed, a real part of things. That’s absolutely priceless, and please tell her that I think her arrangements were gorgeous!

Sandy this so warmed my heart! So often people do for children and push them aside in busyness. This little one was so blessed by you. How empowered she is because of that small gift of time you gave her.

We’ve had a 32 year tradition of making pizza every Friday night. 90% of those nights we have company joining us. I started teaching my god-daughter when she was literally just learning to sit up – on the counter next to the pizza pans. She’s now almost 3 and her pizza making skills are truly coming along! She loves those nights as much as we do, with lots of people who usually end up dancing. Always a fun night & it’s just a natural doable hospitality lesson.

I’ve done this with my DD too. The flowers generally get cut quite short (!) but the resulting display doesn’t look any the worse for that. ;)

Beautiful post! It’s not too too often we have little ones at our house..right now most that we know are still pretty little, but last week my oldest was watching a little 5 year old boy and he was outside with me doing a few things before his next babysitter came and got him. I told him if he wanted, he could pick a few daisies and give them to her, that she would probably love them. he loved that idea, picked 3 and held them behind her back to give to her when she got there. It was cute.

I need to get some mason jars! I’ve been seeing them all over pinterest lately. So versatile.
