Things that Bring me Joy!

  • The smell of magazine perfume samples

  • "Mommy, I just want to stay home forever...I love it here with our family." (Wolfman, age 4)

  • Chocolate Pudding


  • (Eating it. Not cleaning it up.)


  • Trying a new recipe!


  • "When you read that book to me, it makes my heart happy." - I Love You Forever by Robert Munsch (Wolfman)


  • Bunco with friends!


  • A job well done


  • Hearing my 15 year old say, "You just wish you had a Mom this cool."


  • When kids clap because I'm coming in to teach Art Masterpiece


  • Seeing all the beautiful new growth on my rose bushes


  • Kids washing my car


  • Chilled Fanta Fruit Punch tickling all the way down


  • Kisses

  • Holding my baby while she falls asleep on my lap

The Book I love you forever, makes me cry. Specially when it is the boy that carries the mom.

Great post!

That is so sad that the average age of the homeless is 9... how sad!
