To celebrate I am taking on a five day blog project. Each day I'm going to take a picture of something in my house, and tell you the story behind it. I share a lot about my life, but there is still so much to tell you. :)
Today's item is a little one that is probably overlooked by everyone else that comes in to my home. Honestly, I don't even know if David even notices it. But I do. It sits right about my kitchen sink...and always has in the three houses we've lived in since were were married.
Mr. Bluebird. He was a gift from our dear friend Erin when David and I wed. He's simple, beautiful, and classic. And, because of the wedded bliss promised from a legend about bluebirds---he's always been a symbol of my love for my husband and our life together.
My marriage is a priority for me, and this little fella reminds me of that daily!
So a couple of follow up questions---if you have been to my home, have you ever noticed this little birdie? And, what do YOU have in YOUR home that reminds you of your priorities?

That's lovely Sarah! I have not noticed your little friend before, but I'll be on the lookout for him now! Honestly, I can't think of a single thing like your bluebird that is a 'symbol' however I do look upon the faces in the photographs that line my walls and they always remind me of my blessings!
ReplyDeleteI noticed it. :) I have seen birds like this before and love them. I would say pictures and sayings around my home are my reminders.
ReplyDeleteI have not noticed your bird -- probably because you are such a gracious host I rarely seem to make it into the kitchen because you have everything set up before I get there. I'm going to need to start dropping in unannounced more often... lol As far reminders of my marriage, we have a framed copy of our wedding invitation hanging in the living room. I love to pause and admire it every now and then, and think about how far Brian and I have traveled since that day. :)
ReplyDeleteI have never been in your house, Sarah, but I see you often at family gatherings. I have a plaque on a wall in my living room that states "FAMILY". Underneath this word is states "All Because Two People Fell In Love". Under the plaque is a picture of Art and me (and Kelley) and all is surrounded by many pictures of my family. I feel peace and comfort everytime I look at the wall. Oh, and, I have several glass bluebirds in my upstairs bathroom.!
ReplyDeleteI have noticed it before, but only for two reasons, 1. I have stood in front of your kitchen sink many times, and never mind being there. 2. I used to have one, and I don't know what happened to it, as it is probably still packed from the move and that is the only time I wonder where mine went. Right now, we don't have much hanging in the house, but I will keep this in mind when we get to the decorating part of where we live.
