Every Liitle Thing's Gonna Be Alright~ The Littles..

Everything's Gonna Be Alright..

We all need to hear these words  at one point in our lives..and sometimes..many times..

I loved this little video Caroline put on her FB this past week.

So the story is..Madame Francine is the owner of the pre-school that all 3 boys went to..and she knew their dad when he was young..the boys have super fond memories of that pre-school and she was always so nice to them.
The story behind this..is that when the 4-5 yr olds graduated..:)..they sang those exact lyrics to the parents on graduation day..and all the parents..cried:)
Madame Francine is on my daughter's FB..and loved this..

Some young adults in their 30's had her also..that's how long she has run this fantastic pre-school in a local church..I got to meet her because over the years..sometimes we picked up the boys..

Caroline doesn't mind my sharing it here..you've all seen them..thought you might enjoy this little uplifting video:)
Putting real life personalities on the faces you have seen transform before your eyes..

So granparents are a bit off their rockers you know..we see these boys all the time..
yet we replayed this video..so many times:)Even before bed that night.
That's a grandparent.

You can imagine how busy this family is:)
Not to mention the paraphenalia and sports equipment:)

Their dad built this in their garage this past weekend:)
Max is fixated on Odell Beckham:)  

Meanwhile ..Noah has been in Sandbanks getting buried in the sand..so happy they had great weather..it's raining here..


I browsed some vintage cookbooks..a little trip down memory lane:)
I had forgotten about The Food Lover's Companion and I love that book.
The Classic Italian Cookbook:)

On Instagram I follow Liz Steel..she suggested we sketch/paint a routine we have..every day for 5 days..
she does her latte..
I have coffee one morning green tea the other..just a habit we recently got into..used to be only green tea..
So I have done it 3 mornings and they are all different..surprisingly I still favor my first..

You can read about this on her blog..Liz Steel..
I mentioned on IG I was a novice and she mentioned this would be helpful..
I am enjoying doing this and may try and repeat the exercise with other things..
I'll show you when I have done 5..trying different paints etc..
same journal though..
I just love being inspired..

Food wise.. a huge spaguetti  sauce..and a new marmalade recipe..it's upside down resting..if it's good I will share:)

I was in an organizational mood..
Feels so good afterwards..
I guess I was feeling like Fred who built the organizational structure..

Pouring rain keeps you in..:)
And wanting to paint..:)
More than organize these days..but the latter has to be done..
I like things..in their place:)

Have a wonderful weekend..the sun's about to peek out..
I'll share  some cookies next week..and maybe the marmalade:)

Everywhere I go..people comment on the totally blissful summer it has been here
Grateful for it.
