wear love.

some pretty awesome bedtime banter between me and oliver last night:

oliver: oooh mommy, i like your pwetty pwetty ring.

mommy: thanks buddy. daddy gave me this before we got married.

o: where did you go to get the married?

m: we got married at the pike place fish market. do you remember that place? where they throw the fish?

o: oh. and did daddy get you that nice ring at the fish market?

m: thankfully, no.

o: mommy, you always always wear that ring.

m: yep buddy. it is a special ring. it means daddy is the only boy i love.

o: (with a verrrry concerned look on his sweet face). but you said you love me and miles. we are boys!

m: oh i do love you and miles silly.

o: so you love just boys that are in our house? can you love reece? i love him. he is a boy. can you please love him?

m: oh buddy. i love reece. very much. what i mean is that there is just one big boy - one that i love sooo much that i married him because he is so awesome.

o: you married him because he can do wheelies on his bike?

m: yes. that's right.

o: and no dolo (girl) will go to the fish market with me until i am big because i can't do wheelies on my bike?!

m: i love you oliver.

ps.

a couple of weeks ago

while on the treadmill at the gym

and paying no attention to burning calories

but rather intently watching

hoda and kathy lee on GMA

i learned of {wear love}.

KL and hoda were showing off

their new {wear love} tshirts and hoodies...

super chic! 

so i looked it up as soon as i got home.

turns out they sell lots of super fun clothing

AND they are non-profit

AND their organization benefits

non other than

RESTORE INTERNATIONAL

a non-profit run

by the super inspirational and incredible

bob goff

(who just happened to author one of my very favorite books... LOVE DOES).

fun coincidence.

i see a new tee or hoodie in my near future.

check out {wear love} HERE to find sweet stuff and to see how you can help

this incredible charity.
