Coming from you, that means a lot. It also adds a tiny glimmer of sunshine to a horribly sad, dreary day in Santa Barbara after YET ANOTHER mass shooting. This time it's in our own backyard. It's times like this when simple things like Love Letters means all the more, as we try to remember the sweetness in life. Wow, thank you Melissa. Coming from you, that means a lot.

I just love, love, LOVE this! :) You are so amazing, a true inspiration as a mother. This is just simply one of the most beautiful expressions of a mother's love I've ever seen. I'm in awe. How did you ever come up with this idea? I put little notes in my kids' lunchboxes, too, but they were just a short note on a piece of paper or cardstock with a sticker. Maybe a happy face! Nothing like these elaborate pieces of art. Oh Becky, you continue to surprise me. What a wonderful treasure. So glad Sweet Bug made you keep it!!! :) Becky! I just love, love, LOVE this! :)

Thanks for swinging by to say hi again. I like how you framed these napkins as a "conversation." Somehow that gives me a whole new appreciation for them. And the actual conversations my daughter and I had about them after school each day was priceless too, as Sweet Bug shared her surprise about the word of the day or her interpretation of it. I can still vividly remember looking at her shiny face in the rearview mirror as she asked questions on the way home or told me what she did and did not like, all in her squeaky little voice. Pure magic. How nice to hear from you, Tracey! Thanks for swinging by to say hi again.

Glad you got a kick out of these. It's been fun to look back on them and remember when Sweet Bug was just a Tiny Bug and learning all sorts of exciting new things like voting and reading and writing.

Just wow!" to your nice comment! Thank you, Jayne! I have to admit I'm happy Sweet Bug insisted we keep all these napkins. At the time, I thought it was insane, but because of her persistence, we now have all these little "snapshots" of her preschool years. I only posted about a quarter of them, so you can imagine how many more funny moments have been captured in crayon. And “Wow. Just wow!” to your nice comment! Thank you, Jayne!

So glad to have "re" found you. What a lovely, lovely record of your conversation with your daughter, and something to be treasured forever!

Your Tiny Bug was a smart cookie to save those napkins. They're wonderful and so filled with love, I could feel it through the computer screen. What an extraordinary family treasure for her to have, just as you have that remarkable letter from your own mom. You are such a talented, creative, amazing lady, Becky -- and a World Class Mom! Wow!

You always have a way of making me feel like my nutty ideas will always find a place somewhere, somehow. Who knows? If nothing else, Sweet Bug will have a fun memory from her preschool days.

We all approach parenting in different ways, as gawd knows there's no instruction manual, but really it all just comes down to love, and doing the best we can with what we have, when we have it. Then we all hold our breath and cross our fingers and hope they all turn out ok! :-) Jennifer, my dear awesome mamacita, thank you for your sweet words, but you have no idea how many times Jeffrey and I have marveled at your dedication to motherhood–knowing all that you put into raising that handsome son of yours.
