Here is my beautiful, blonde-haired boy thoroughly enjoying himself by pushing his bubble mower through the grass while the sprinklers were going. He was soaking wet and smiling from ear to ear by the time he was done. I sat watching him and what I ended up wishing was that he will always find this much pleasure in doing things he loves throughout his life. I hope that his love of learning continues through elementary and high school and into college and that he finds joy in studying subjects that fascinate him. I want him to find sports or activities that he does purely for enjoyment. I also hope that he will still find pleasure in the simple things, like a summer evening or a sunset or the smile on his child's face. Monday, July 7, 2008
Simple Pleasures

Hi Melissa!
I really enjoyed visiting your site, and wanted to share a project we're working on with you in case you might be interested.
I’m working with a marketing agency that’s been hired to help spread the word about the unique Box Tops for Education program & how every purchase via Marketplace helps fund local schools.
We thought this would be a fun opportunity for you and your readers, and just in time for back to school shopping needs.
Through Box Tops for Education’s online Marketplace program, schools can earn up to $20,000 apiece each year by shopping online at the more than 70 stores that participate – all at no extra cost to the consumer.
If you’re interested in getting involved, we’d love to send you a $50 gift card to redeem at the Box Tops Marketplace, and enhance your first experience shopping via the site.
We hope that you will share your experience & encourage further support for education with your readers through your blog.
Thanks so much, and I hope to hear back from you soon!

He is so cute with hi mower! I wanted to let you know that I got a lovely little surprise from Washington in the mail yesterday. After I got it I stood there wondering, "Washington... who do I know in Washington?" It was such a nice surprise! I've already started my book for the swap (Mama Bird is very green, so I am making my scrapbook out of reused brown grocery bags) but I am sure I'll use it soon. Thanks!
