Verbal Sunshine

"A compliment is verbal sunshine."
-Robert Orben

I had a few extra minutes to get ready for church on Sunday morning, and I took some extra time with my hair.

My outfit wasn't anything outstanding...just a cute pair of black legging tights, paired with a three-quarter length sleeved gray dress and black flats.

My heart just about melted as I was helping Natalie put on her shoes.

"Mommy, you look Vanstatic." she said enthusiastically.

I paused for a moment before breaking into a huge grin. "You mean "Fantastic'?"

"Yes," she nodded. "Van....um... pretty!"

This is one of the greatest blessings of having children.

They love me unconditionally, no matter how bad my hair looks, how much make-up I put on, or even if I've shrieked at them for coloring on the white table with pink marker.

No matter how much I resemble this:

They make me feel like this:

That is a blessing.

"Verbal sunshine" can really make your day!

Hope your week is off to a great start!

{Don't forget that the Decorating Dilemmas party will go up tomorrow (Tuesday) night after 10 pm (EST) and will go on all day Wednesday! There's gonna be a priiiiiiiiize!}

I love to hear your feedback! Please feel free to leave comments...just don't send me spam asking me to buy stuff off your website! I've got three kids and no money to purchase your magic weight-loss pill or bust enhancement, or whatever else you might be selling. Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you! :)
