"Here's to making life nice." Can you imagine if we endeavored to do this - even a little bit - every day? Our world would be nothing short of amazing.

I think Libby "gets you." I know I've said it before, but I'm sure it's no coincidence that such a nice person has such wonderful children.

Just reading your blog each day helps "make life nice." Thanks for the great post, Leslie!

Wow, what a beautiful, intuitive daughter you are raising. Good job!

What a sweet kid! You should go to sleep tonight feeling very proud!

kids are very perceptive...and what a huge compliment to you! how wonderful that she appreciates the things you make. isn't that the best?

priceless! :) justine

aww! she's too precious for words. life is good, and good things just make it better.

Awwww. What a smart girl!

That just makes a mom's life nice.

Another reason for the path might have been so it doesn't get lost in the dead of winter under all those leaves or snow?
But I like your daughter's reason best ;-)
Happy Sunday.

There is a door placed in the middle of a walking path through the trees at UCSD--and its sole purpose is to make people ask what it's for.

How beautiful. I mean, wow. That is exactly it. "Not really necessary, it just makes life nice."

What a smart girl!

That's one insightful young lady...
It was a lovely weekend for a walk in the woods.

well spoken! I hope I'm making life a little nicer in my little part of the world too. What a nice thought to start off my week.

A very perceptive child indeed! So nice that recognizes those things you do that make their lives nice and comfortable.

Aw-that Libby, she is one smart cookie!

yep, pretty great child!!!!

My husband just smiled and giggled with me as I read this aloud. Precious:)

Sounds like she really understands you and your craft. You make life nice! Here's to you!

Such pure honesty that comes from the heart - and so wise, too.

oh, i love it. just makes life nice. i am going to start using that, too. thanks, libby. for the insight.

And it's very nice to look at too - the pathway and the 'stuff' you make! What a sweetie!

It is wonderful just to appreciate how nicely kids can tie things together - they just stop and "see" things - so smart!

smart girl you've got there, leslie.

What a sweet comment... you must feel wonderful!

Kids never fail to amaze me with their perceptions. Kind of makes you take a step back and think about how you see the world, you know? Such a blessing.

Thanks for the post. It just totally made my day. :D

I love it when kids say things like this - their minds and way of looking at things amaze me!

sometimes, we just need to hear that....
