Women Bring Love Into a Home


The sweet loving touches that a woman brings into her house make
it a home.




It's the way she shows her family how much they mean to her.




Freshly baked cookies, pretty flowers and sweet cheerful touches.  That's what
women do for their families.  Valentine's Day is not just for lovers, it's 
the day when we can show appreciation for all of those we love.




Of course, cute little dogs bring love into a home too!

I dedicate this post to my Mom who always made our house a home.

Spread some Valentine's Day cheer by visiting ~


Bentley ~ come over here and let your Momma give you a hug!

Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

    Sweet post. Love Bentley. As I comment my Yorkie is snoring very loudly.
    Love the music today....I think it is Heidi (Shirley Temple). I named my daughter after her....the Heidi movie.

    Thank you for a lovely post. It reminds us that women should always honor other women whenever they can. Obviously your Mother loved you well. A little puppy love sweetens the deal.

    Hearts and flowers to you & Bentley.

    Hi Susan Sweetie...
    I love this dedication to your beautiful Momma. Momma's do have a way of making our lives so much nicer do they not? I am grateful for the wonderful things my Momma still does for me.

    I also love this little face named Bentley. Definitely the love of your life. SO precious and priceless.

    Have a beautiful weekend sweet friend. Many hugs and much love, Sherry

    I completely forgot about pink saturday until about 4 pm yesterday, sugar, so I was way down on the list this time. I love the little embroidered hearts and the photos that show such femininity. Bentley is kinda cute too! ;-)

    You so hit on why we all love doing this stuff. All of those little touches that we often think go unnoticed by the other occupants of our homes, really do make a difference. Your vignette is beautiful.
