Welcome!

I'm often amazed and confused by the bizarre happenings behind the closed and competitive doors of the typical suburban home. The following is a place to share my thoughts and reflections on daily life as I try to navigate this crazy and wonderful world.

Never Under Estimate The Power of Flowers

My Hubby’s doing it again. Gleefully texting his “boyfriends” (can I call them that?), talking with wild gestures on the phone, and firing off e-mails to these buddies, and guess what? NONE of it is about me! Dramatic POUT. Yes, the Dear Husband is planning his annual golf trip with “The Boys”. Sigh. I’m not against some quality dude time, after all, I need time with my gurrrls, but does he have to be so darn excited about it? Enough already!

Thankfully, as this annual event has been happening for a few years now, he’s learned a few tricks. One of these, flowers make everything better! Yep, I said flowers. Flowers have power!! I may be a modern Mama, but this doesn’t mean that when Hubby’s away, and I hear the door bell ring to find I have received flowers by post, that I am not the swooniest, old fashioned, over the top joyful, skipping around the kitchen kinda girl in the world. Happiness! For me, a delivery of flowers remains a romantic, sweet, loving gesture that reminds me my dear Hubby is thinking of me even when he is away! (what a very smart man)

Lucky for Dear Hubby ordering some gorgeous Calla Lilies, Gerber Daises, Orchids, or good old fashioned roses has never been easier. Creative and talented florists are easily found with the click of a mouse, and the gorgeous arrangements can be delivered right to your loved one’s doorstep.

So a note to all the men out there. Looking for a way to unexpectedly brighten someone's day? Flowers aren’t just for Mother’s Day, Valentine's Day, or to make up for a big fat mistake. Flowers chosen with care, and arriving on your significant other’s door step for no reason at all…. those hold the most power of all.

I always THINK I would like flowers but for some reason it's not a surprise and then I'm left flat...hmmm maybe I'm just weird.

Hubby used to work for a company that sent the wives flowers every time the husband was sent off on business for more than four days in a row. It was nice until it kept happening and I ran out of places to put them. ;) But it sent a message....

I buy myself flowers from Trader Joe's just about every week, its amazing what $4 will do for your spirit.

My husband has definitely been lacking in the romance - and flower giving - department lately. Thanks for this wonderful post! I love flowers!

I love Gerbera daisies, too, but my favourite has been (and always will be) roses. The redder, the better!
