Melancholy Smile: Tulip love

Tulip love

It's February, and I've embarked on my annual month-or-two long addiction to tulips. I love the first tulips of the season. They're so bright and hopeful in the face of a gloomy winter.

Incidentally, while reading that article that everyone is talking about, I scoffed when one women interviewed said {in reference to Mormon bloggers} that she was jealous and wanted to "arrange flowers all day too!"

Arrange flowers? I thought, Who DOES that?

Apparently, I do. :)

There are plenty of non-Mormon moms living out the same stay-at-home lifestyle. Perhaps they don't blog as much or at all, but they too buy tulips and arrange them (throw them) in a vase, host themed birthday parties, bake, thrift, craft and value marriage and family.

I am one of them and am happy in my current life.

P.S. In my twenties, I was an Emily.; February 1, 2011 at 11:21 AM
