{grow with love: letters} day six

Hello Everyone and Happy Friday! I know I am a few days late and I am so sorry..AGAIN! I haven't been feeling that great and just couldn't sit here for very long at all. I am here now though so YAY! I hope you all had a great week! For a bit of basic info head to Post 1 on Sara's blog for the outline and check HERE for a list of past days.

I am loving the Feb. letters as they are all lovey dovey. Unlike a lot of people I love Valentine's day and all the ooey gooey stuff. I love taking one day and trying to make someone feel special, whether it's your kids or your spouse etc. It makes me all kinds of happy! Today we are going to dig a bit and think about what we hope for our kids to find in love. Lets read the prompt!

I know that with these letters we have spent a lot of time talking about what we hope for our kids an their future. I think it's really important to think about sometimes so we can make sure we are guiding them in the right direction. Often, when it comes to love, everyone has different wants and needs. One of my boys is so thoughtful and loves to take care of people so I know he is going to need a lady that wants to be taken care of. Someone who is maybe a bit needy would be perfect for him. My other little man is sooo silly and a bit wild so he's going to need someone who can calm him a bit and be a good balance to him. Stella is still kind of up in the air...she loves to be spoiled like a princess, but she has a stubborn and independent streak. She's so much like me at times..so she needs someone like her daddy...who will let her be opinionated but will also take care of her when she needs it. All in all...There is one main thing I hope for them that I was able to sum up in one page!

Here's my page for this one:

So really, my hopes for them is that they can get a bit of that fairy tale. I am realistic to know that no relationship ever goes just like a fairytale, but there is one key part that I do hope comes true for me and my kids and everyone else....the happily ever after. I hope my kids can learn to have that. To have a happily ever after, you have to go through a lot of compromises and there's a lot of give and take, but it's totally possible! It's about picking battles and learning to see the good in a situation and learning to let go of unrealistic expectations at times. I think it's totally possible and I hope they find it!! I am on the way to my happily ever after so I know they can do it!

so there you go! You can do a page kind of like this that's more open or you can get down to the nitty gritty like in my paragraph up above talking about specific things your kids will like in love. There are a lot of ways you can approach this one and I can't wait to see your takes! Don't forget to head to Sara's blog next week for Day 7!

And also, thank you all so much for your applications to our CT Call! We have been agonizing over apps since they have been coming in and we aren't sure exactly how we are going to choose. It really means so very much to both of us that so many of you are wanting to be a bigger part of telling your stories and growing in love. We love you all to bits!! If you did not receive an email from us letting you know we got your app then it got lost in the shuffle somehow!
