Girls Book Club

I love that Maya and Brooke belong to a Book Club with their friends. Each month, one girl hosts the gathering and chooses the book. Tonight they met to discuss the American Girl Doll book called "McKenna" and do a craft with the theme of gymnastics. It is so special to have a group of friends like this at such a young age!

Grateful for my family

Realizing how fast time can fly and how much I love the snuggles of my girls, my hubby, and my cats!!

Children Doing Homework

When I got home tonight, my plan was to watch a few DVRed episodes of "The Voice." My girls were going to do a quick spelling activity and then we would start watching. Over an hour later, they are happily busy doing their spelling homework while I am sitting here biting my tongue so as not to interrupt their work......meanwhile I am ready to watch some people sing!

So grateful for my hard working girls!!!!

Keep it real

Being Real

Great lesson about speaking your truth and coming out of the proverbial closet. So very true!

We Have Choices

Today, I am struck by the fact that we have a choice every moment of the day. We can look at a situation and make a choice to be upset or we can look at a situation and make a choice to be grateful. Life is shifting so quickly now and people are on the move. Organizations are changing and the things that are no longer working are falling away. It can be a scary feeling to watch all this change or we can use it as an opportunity to feel so much gratitude for what we do have and for the things that matter. I choose the second option. Thank you for it all!

Amazing Birthday Party!

Last night, we hosted an amazingly fun birthday party for Brooke. All of our closest friends and family were there (except for those who live out of town) and it was wonderful to spend time with each of them. Our kitchen functioned exactly as we hoped it would, the children and adults hung outside by the campfire, and the food was delicious. Perfect!

Cranio-sacral Therapy

Tonight I am so grateful to my dear friend, Betsey, for using her crania-sacral skills to work on Brooke's nose and body. Brooke released so much unneeded energy from her body and she left the session feeling "warm, good, and happy." LOVE!
