Having a great day with the kidlets.
Going to the Children’s Museum and getting to see an adorable raccoon playing with a ball-so cute!
The sugar gliders…if there ever was a magical creature…
Watching how excited the kids got at every turn.
Receiving something awesome in the mail…thank you, C!
Hearing good news from a friend and recognizing relief in her voice.
Having a major load taken off my plate and having it go to someone who really appreciates it (thank you, Melissa! business, business, business!)
Having a few hours to myself this morning while kiddos are otherwise occupied. Looking forward to a lovely and peaceful cup of tea.
Being reminded that “energy flows where attention goes” and being grateful that my focus is on magic.

Kate, you’re just BEGGING for us to ask about your secret experiment! lol When do we find out more?
but it’s like the secret garden — if she tells us it won’t be a secret any more. tho I can’t say I’m not dying of curiousity!
we all know that ANYTHING you do is worth it’s weight in gold…and I just happen to have my own little secret going so we’ll shroud ourselves in mystery and intrigue together!
Ooooh, Elisabeth ~ way to intrigue! I’ll share my secret when it’s over and a RAGING success!!
Bright sunshine on a warm winter day.
A mug of coffee waiting for me when I come downstairs in the morning.
My 2-year-old announcing this morning that she wants her milk in a cup rather than a bottle because she’s a big girl now.

Watching the snotty, fussy baby relax into sleep.
