The Quiet Life of Violet

Terribly Haunting and Beautiful

The Secret Garden lover in me just melts while watching these videos by Birdy.


 

 

Are you still there or have you melted into a puddle with me?

Listening All Day

I heard this song on the radio a few days ago and then again today on the way home from the grocery store.

I really, REALLY like it.
I hope you do, too.

 

 

 

Marvelous Monday

I'm feeling a bit spunky today.

The sun is shining.

I've got food in my belly.

I feel so bouncy and playful and full of delight!

   

Hope you catch the bug, too!

xo,
Violet (little Squiddy, too!)

Dear Squid-Kid: Guilty

 

Each day, as your kicks grow stronger,
your Momma grows a little bit more guilty...

   

... of loving you.

 

I don't know how it will be possible to love you any more than I already do, but I have a feeling that I'm in for a really big surprise.

I just love surprises!

 

Forever yours,
Momma.

Christmas Gingerbread Inspiration

Hello!  I've had these pictures below saved on my desktop since Thanksgiving and I swore I'd make a million gingerbread houses and decorate them all retro and cute, but yeah, it's ten day 'till the big day and I've yet to set foot in my gingerbread workshop. So, I'm going to do the second best thing and share them you! Hope you enjoy!

 

All of these pictures are from THIS site and were taken at Santa's Village in Skyforest (Near L.A.), California in the 1960's. Are you drooling yet?

Is it wrong that I'd have my house look like a gingerbread house all year long if Dustin (and the landlord) would allow it? It's just so... sweet!

I've made a nice little Christmas playlist for you all below.
Some of my favorite Holiday songs!

The The

Remember that today is THE day!

Make it the first day of the rest of your life.

DON'T BE AFRAID!!
