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!

Today was pretty awesome! There were a few things that stuck out to me as being extra cool!

- All the kids were outside with David in the backyard and Tucker was sitting at the back window watching them. He was on his knees  bouncing up and down with excitement. All of a sudden, he put one foot on the ground, reached his arms up higher on the glass, and then just stood. I'm like 99% sure that this was the first time he has done that and I just got to watch him go at it. See... awesome!

-  I was holding Tucker tonight in my arms. All the other kids were in bed and the house was quite. Tucker had been giggling and laughing and of course I was loving every min with my happy little boy! I said, "Tucker say "mama"" and he turned his head to look right at me and said clear as day "mama." You could tell that he knew exactly what he was saying and what it meant.
