Love Is In The Hodgepodge Air

Welcome to this week's edition of The Wednesday Hodgepodge. If you've answered today's questions add your link at the end of my post, then leave some comment love for the blogger before you. Here we go-

1. What's something recent that had you 'tickled pink'? 

2. A bed of roses, everything's coming up roses, every rose has it's thorn, stop and smell the roses, rose-colored glasses, a rose among thorns...which rosy expression might currently be applied to your life in some way? 

It's a thorny world and I try to always find that rose. A husband who makes me laugh, the sunrise, grown girls who make my heart sing, time, memory, toddler giggles and observations, a bright blue sky...I honestly don't have to look all that hard. 

3. What makes you feel loved and appreciated? 

Small kindnesses, thoughtful gestures, words with actions that follow suit. 

4. A box of chocolates or a bouquet of fresh flowers-what's your pleasure? Any special plans for Valentine's Day? 

Fresh flowers for sure. We typically cook something together at home on Valentine's Day, often a new recipe that might feel a little bit fancy. I'm going to be traveling on the actual day so we'll celebrate a day early. Hubs will be home with his other Valentine-

5. Share a favorite quote, scripture, or song lyric relating to love. 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

My hubs knows I love flowers (anytime), but since I won't be home to enjoy them next week he sent me this really beautiful single rose. 

It's real. 

It's hard to appreciate in a photograph, but it's a real red rose that's been dipped in some sort of resin, then the stem and leaf edges are dipped in 24K gold. It's amazing. 

Hope this week is filled with all the things and people you love ❤️
