In the past few months I have really felt the weight on my shoulders in my role as a mother. I know what an important job this is... in fact, the most important job I will ever have. And yet, without a doubt this is the hardest job I will ever have. I also know with a certainty that my role as mother has brought and will continue to bring me more joy than I ever imagined!

One day, the distinct impression came to me that I needed to find more JOY in everyday. Life of a stay-at-home mom can be quite mundane, and because of that I was letting little moments slip by... moments that I am sure I will one day long for again!

And then I read this: “Ask yourself, 'How did God bless me today?' If you do that long enough and with faith, you will find yourself remembering blessings. And sometimes, you will have gifts brought to your mind which you failed to notice during the day, but which you will then know were a touch of God’s hand in your life.” –Henry B. Eyring

After reading the quote by President Eyring I felt like I had found a missing piece to a puzzle. This blog is to record those little moments, so that I may more fully see the touch of God's hand in my life, and find more JOY in everyday!

Owen climbed up on my lap today and asked me to rock him like a baby! Gladly! He then gave me 4 sweet little kisses.(Insert me melting right about here!) He then started to cry like a baby! (Moment over... I hear enough of that crying during the day ;)) and then he was off and running. Little does he know that I will be more then happy to hold him like a baby when he's 13 or even 30 (okay maybe that's a stretch.) Love those little moments!

And how's this for a drop of awesome! Managed to clean the blind above my kitchen window that has not been done, well... since we moved in (shhhh... don't tell anyone!) One drop of awesomeness done... 10 windows drops to go!
