That’s so awesome. In my life, I’ve noticed that the time I’m down is when some “angel” steps out and says something or does something that totally makes my day, like your coupon angel.

It’s all fantastic, but my absolute favorite part is the part about you and your husband and your playful banter and marriage… you just got it. I got it.

My “Kelsey” is my mom. And she spills glitter on everything too, simply by giving us the ability to sit and drink and be a couple again. We are so lucky to have: a)people we can trust with our kids; b)husbands we want to sit and drink with!

I totally agree with you – the kindness of strangers speaks volumes! And feel blessed to have a Kelsey. Can’t say that I have someone like that right now that I could leave my kids with. I too want someone to do more than just watch my kids….I want someone to engage them, play with them and love them!

Lovely post.

I wish Kelsey could come and sprinkle glitter all over me today.

But, actually, in a way your post has done that.
