Just a little list of joyful things that are my fave right now.
1) Twinner bedding is the best
Carly’s bedding caught my eye in a Marco Polo and I had to ask where it’s from. Our white ruffled duvet is no longer white and has seen better days. I was delighted when she told me it’s from IKEA! Best $30 ever spent.
Arkansas skies are the most gorgeous I’ve seen. These beauties made a full arch all the way across the morning sky on Friday after some heavy rain.
3) soundly sleeping children are the best. Once so restless and fearful as bedtime approached to the point of shaking with actual terror, or fight unseen demons and disassociated screaming and rage. Now, peaceful, snuggly, hugs and kisses. Sometimes some giggly chatter or singing as they drift off into a safe and sound sleep. Tonight, this image caught my eye and brought me to my knees in gratitude. The difference sometimes still really gets to me. I love them. I’m so happy that my home and family are safe places for healing. I feel joy in their peace.

4) Corbin whittling is the best
After two times catching Corbin using my Pioneer Woman kitchen knives on a scrap block 2x4, I could tell he was feeling the itch to build. I understand this itch, and recognize it as God’s gift to me I be able to create. This outlet brings me so much joy, and I think that legos and crayons are such popular toys because of the human need for creativity. Aaron gave Corbin his old pocket knife and Corbin sawed away at a piece of scrap wood all afternoon.
5) Autumn Crafts are the best.

Missed stake conference yesterday staying home cleaning up after some midnight crib throw up. Not my fave, but since the kid was laid up sorry watching a movie all morning, I did some crafting.
6) time with a friend is the best
6) time with a friend is the best
Tia invited me over to make a clock. Kids ran wild in the rain and loved every minute, even though they trashed her basement, I’m sure. Sloane got a black eye from an angry twin, and Tia and I made cute stuff! Good company and crafts? My love language.
