Family Brigade

Breakout, the wine, food, flowers, music and love! I’m celebrating!!!

I have a brigade (the Home Love Brigade), aka “My peeps, my tribe, my love buckets, my family” and the nick names go on and on. No matter how I’m feeling or who I’m yelling at, my brigade is my stronghold.  They love me fiercely and I them! 🙂

The last few weeks were extremely busy, holiday stuff, school work, household junk, workshops, sales, art fair preparations, holiday studio tour preparation, marketing and creating (my only grip on sanity)!!

My brigade has been there through the thick (which is me) and the thin (my patience)! But, they still love and support me! So this is my special way of giving them a shout out and absolutely begging them to continue…:)

So meet the Home Love Brigade:

Jon: Commando, BBQ-Meister, Security, Confidante, Framer, Baker, Kindest man in the whole world and my Go-To Snuggler!
No. 1 - Radical Son: Web Meister, Great Cook, Creative Buddy, Listening Ear, I have to beg to snuggle him and who now can say no to me, with no repercussions (except Mom-guilt, it still works)!!!
The Baby: The Love Bucket, Assistant Baker, Chief Eye-roller to certain demands of mine; Major Art Fair Helper; aka: “messy-haired girl” and a sweet snuggler!

I love and have absolutely the best brigade in the world!!! (Uh, love brigade, you are going to be helping at the next two events, right?!) 🙂

Loving your people, makes life pretty spectacular!

In peace to you and yours!

P.S. I am so in the dog house for putting their pixs on my blog! It’s holiday time, maybe they’ll forgive me…again?!

  3. They're all good looking, so none of them have a right to complain 🙂 They should be glad they're appreciated. Really a nice post all the way around.

    • Thanks, Joanna! I love them so much! They have beautiful hearts, which is so important! 🙂

    • Thanks Cat! If I never get anything else, in life, they have been a monumental blessing in this lifetime!

  7. HEEHEEHEEHEEEE!!!! Oh, Indigene, I have a HUGE smile on my face right now. Your painting is beautiful. And your Love Brigade??????? Awwww, melts my heart. What a fantastic brigade you have! You are blessed for sure. Hope you are doing well. xoxo

    • Thanks, Elena…it's funny when other people find them attractive, since I so biased about them, plus I see them when they wake up in the morning, with sleep in their eyes…lol! I just keep racking up those dog house points with them! Thanks for stopping by and your continued wonderful support.

  14. I missed this one and am glad I found it. I'd 'met' your husband and daughetr already but not your son. Very handsome! Wonderful post.

  15. The first time I saw this post, I didn't have the time to leave a comment, but I loved your "family brigade": those people shine!
    I hope they won't be too hard on you for publishing their photos: they should be proud to be in your blog!

  16. Thanks so much, dear one! Well, I'm safe for now, since they don't look at my blog! They're always so much going on in the family life, they rarely have time (I try to keep them busy) 🙂

    But thank you for your kindness and support! 🙂

    • Hey, no fair! You can't change my pixs! LOL! I knew I would get into trouble posting pixs of you! Love you sooooo much! 🙂
