February, how I love thee! Let me count the ways:

1. I love your warm, sunny skies and lack of Florida humidity (though today happened to be an exception). Sunshine = outdoor playtime + picnics + good hair days + good mood.

2. I love Valentine’s Day and all its trimmings: cards, hearts, flowers, candy, the color pink, and hugs and kisses from my sweetheart. Any holiday where chocolate is the main gift is A-okay with me.

3. I love being done with the bulk of the tax forms for my bookkeeping job. WAHOO!

4. I love coming to the point where I realize most of my New Year’s resolutions were worthless and I can show myself some grace. And eat more chocolate.

5. I love having a six-month-old and a three and a half-year-old (those half-years make a big difference).

6. I love when people visit us. This is the month when Mickey Mouse and palm trees start to look really appealing.

7. I love dressing my children up like this:

Even when they react like this:

Here’s to a fabulous February!
