the name

I've toyed with blogging for a while now... and had "started" a few under various names... I had an obsession with trying to get TJ's initials incorporated in the name- yet wanted to keep it open ended so that it wasn't a blog solely focused on my angel baby.  Each attempt ended with a "that's good" but lacked a "perfect" feeling and after sitting on the blog name for a day- I would realize it was definitely the wrong name for anything I wanted to write.

I started thinking about all the things I wanted to write about... and one word kept coming up... LOVE.

Enter the stickers that are floating around my house:

These awesome stickers were handed out to the great kids in Jcrew to remind them that no matter what- they are loved.  Loved(period) has been the theme- we love the kids as they are and want to walk with them as they grow into awesome adults.

As I looked at a loved. sticker I realized that it was the perfect name for a blog that had great stories of love to share.  I'm also bound to have some just flat out fun things to share and then of course randomness. (Those who know me well know I specialize in randomness from time to time.)

But for now- Loved. is my goal for life- how I want to live- to love people, love life period.
