The Only Kind of Clutter I Like

Is the kind I sometimes find around the house that makes me stop and smile, and want to capture it.



Like a sweet little note written from Arissa to one of her sisters.



Or Mariah's notebook that she left out which I rushed to put away until I saw she had been writing about Jesus and how she knows he's real.



Or the corner of the room which the girls made into a little clubhouse, complete with pillows and dolls and books.



Or these sweet little things that were spread all over the kitchen table one morning:















I just thought it was so cute. Mallory had been sitting there at the table the night before, working really hard & filling up the pages in her little tiny (2in x 3in) notepad. The next morning I saw papers spread all over the place and went to pick them up and saw her little drawings.....and instead took pictures. And then I even left them there for awhile, just because they made me happy to look at.
