But when I sit back and think about my life, I realize there is nowhere I'd rather be than right here in this stage of motherhood.
Given - I'd take a more perfect personality, more patience, and a few more dollars to pay the bills, but overall I feel blessed with opportunities to improve and with the most important things in life like family, the gospel, and such.
Plus, when I look back on photos like this I think, "Man - there really is nothing major in my life to complain about?"
I came across a song a few weeks ago called 'ordinary' by Wayne Brady (see side bar 2nd song). Most of the song doesn't apply as it's a love song, but I love this part.
"Happy here on earth in our beautiful ordinary life,
I love my beautiful ordinary life with you."
'ordinary' by wayne brady
Anyhoo... just a reminder to myself that my life is siMpLy beaUtiFul and oRdiNarY in good ways.

So true! Sometimes the day to day seems like more than we can possibly bare. And then, when you really think about how good you have it- I'm sometimes amazed! A wonderful husband, healthy, happy children, a home, the gospel. I have it pretty good- thanks for reminding me...
I may have to copy you and put that quote in a frame too. Love it!
That's beautiful. And I'd love to see the finished product in your room! (Also, where do you print your banners?)
Love it! Will you make me a banner too? :) You're so good at everything you do!
