Read a quote of Jack Canfield's last week and it still resonates with me.
"Sanctify the ordinary."
If I had to list what I do during a weekday, at first glance someone may think, "Wow, it's kind of the same every day. How mundane!" And if I was just looking at my day from the viewpoint of what I got "done", I'd have to agree.
But within all the ordinary of my day (and there is a lot of it) are the truly joyful moments that will be memories I cherish. Listening to Dominic singing "Hey Soul Sister" in the backseat, watching his little face light up when I look him in the eyes and tell him I love him, sitting next to Isabella at night reading aloud some of my favorite childhood books, and the three of us happily pulling weeds in our very own veggie garden in the late afternoon. These are the beautiful moments that sanctify my ordinary.

Just read this April. It touches my heart. These are the moments that every mother needs to remember and cherish amidst all the ordinary things that have to be repeated again and again. It brought back memories for me many years back. I never regretted being a stay at home mom so I had many of those treasured moments.
