Love to the world..!

Darlings, though it still takes for ever for me to load images to the blog I wanted to pop in and wish you all a wonderful Valentine's Day! xx


Despite the commercial aspects of this holiday I whole-heartedly support any initiative to spread love, kindness and thoughtfulness in the world.



Let us all genuinely and generously share our affection and appreciation of our friends, family, pets, and loved ones today!
Of course we should do this all and every day, but on Valentine's I think one can go that little extra mile and really spoil them!


And please don't forget yourselves - so important to kiss the mirror, pat oneself on the shoulder, and just generally send a thought of appreciation and love towards oneself once in a while! So easy to forget isn't it..!

If you don't feel like aiming your loving efforts at a person, do take this day as an opportunity to celebrate love itself. An act of kindness towards a stranger or the world goes a long way!


A Happy Valentine's Day to all and everyone! 
May you be loved & appreciated today and always!

xx Charlotta


P.S. NB!

We love you daddy/Marshall and miss you so much today!

Marshall and Isabella in 2011 - so much love!!

    I looked at all the pics (loved the old man buying the card), read all your lovely words .. then got to the last pic and felt so sad.

    I can't tell in that pic who is the happier .. they both look so much in love.

    It will all work out and you can all be together again soon. Take care dear Charlotta. Get extra hugs off the kids today (and I'm sending you one too!!!).

      Hello!! Yes isn't he just divine - so romantic!
      And whilst any younger girl would be upset about a mass produced store card one just knows his wife will be moved to tears. I bet he has bought a card for her on this very day all their life! It's just so wonderful!
      Big hugs! xx
