The Little Things

I feel like life only gets busier, but taking time to enjoy the little things is therapeutic and heartwarming. 

I love my little girls so much. These two beauties bring more joy to my life than I could have ever imagined. My two little things this week...  

Brooklyn's lemonade stand. She invited a younger friend to help and made enough money to buy a "Rainbow Loom" she really wanted. Such a fabulous lesson about hard work and the value of a dollar. An added bonus, we have spent the last two nights making bracelets and spending great time together. 

I was busy all day on Tuesday and Lexi was an angel. In the middle of it all she asked if we could make chocolate chip cookies for her friends. I stopped everything only to discover we were out of eggs. Daddy to the rescue, Brad brought some home after work and we made our cookies. I'm so glad I took the time to stop. While we were making them, Lexi said, "Mommy thank you for making cookies with me!"  Worth every second.  

Sheer joy.
