snuggling with my children; watching C. and B. learn their lessons and all of the 'lightbulb' moments that bring joy to us all; A.'s little wiggle when she dances to music; hugs from my husband and his messages to me on our whiteboard (today's was that he is praying for me); peaches and golds and pinks in the sunset tonight cast a warm glow on the piles of snow around our home; the scent of clean laundry; making soap today ('Pink Sugar' and 'Orange Dream'); goodnight kisses; the warmth of the fire; making 'Egg McMuffins' - much better tasting than the original not only b/c of the ingredients but also because they are made with love for my family... these are a few of my favorite things today.
