National Handwriting Day

In a desperate search for a blog topic this week, I come across a lot of really random information. One of which is today being National Handwriting Day!

I thought this would be something fun to include because handwriting is such a lost art and it's not something you get to see much from bloggers. So here is a glimpse of my bestest handwriting ever because I'm publishing it on my blog. I actually sat down and carefully wrote this out.

I have a friend who is an amazing calligrapher and she gave this to me for her birthday. Yep, her birthday (long story). I love it so much! I wish she could write all the things for me, haha!

Coincidentally (or maybe not) I came across a beautiful penmanship photo which led me to a penmanship sub Reddit thingy. I don't "Reddit" (it redditing a verb?) and the only reason why I know it exists is because every once in a while a story will pop up on my Facebook news feed about some outrageous story posted to Reddit. Anyway, this is the photo. Penmanship in all of it's glory.

*This phot is not mine*

One day in the distant future if I ever have hobbies again I hope to pick up the art of writing beautifully. I don't really have the desire to learn calligraphy but I do envy people who can write beautifully. I put this book on my wish list and one day I will get to it.

Happy Leap Day!!

We get an extra day this year! I was gonna use this as an opportunity to say something motivational like we get an extra day to tell someone you love them, let go of the negativity, etc. But who am I kidding- this motivated mamma is out of motivation. My beautiful baby girl still isn't sleeping through the night :-(

But since I do get an extra day this year- I decided to make it day to post something on my neglected blog. I really do love this space but it's seriously crazy how time gets the best of you. And that to a crapped out computer and 4 months will pass by before you know it.

So enjoy your extra day this year! even if it is a dreaded Monday!

okay, okay- I had to include some kind of motivational quote.
