Kids have a way of making everything fun - even the hottest summer day! In the pool and then onto the hot sidwalk, in the pool, back to the sidewalk - over and over again! Watching this all morning helps me realize that everything is what you make it.

Make Summer Fun? Just Watch your Kids
Kids have a way of making everything fun - even the hottest summer day! In the pool and then onto the hot sidwalk, in the pool, back to the sidewalk - over and over again! Watching this all morning helps me realize that everything is what you make it.

See the Good
My older son is going on a trip and will be away for longer than he ever has. I am re-learning how to see the good in EVERYTHING. It is not easy or particularly fun, but the lessons that we have to learn over and over again never are. My favorite yoga teacher would challenge us to "smile at everything we meet." I'm meeting up with a lot of sadness over my boy being gone so long - can anyone help me find my smile?

I found a website that let's you make the most wonderful videos of your kids from still photos! Visit Animoto.com to make free 30 videos with music. I fell so in love with it that I signed up and paid so I could make longer videos - here is my first attempt: Casey's Curl Let me know how I did!

Calm and Love and Warmth and Touch
My 16 month old is getting molars. He is in a lot of pain. For the past few days I have been rushing around trying anything to make him feel better. Today, I just sat on the floor cross legged and held him in my lap. I didn't say anything, just held him. He still cried the same, but there was calm and love and warmth and touch. Not words and movement and attempt after attempt to change what is, just love and comfort given slowly in Mommy's lap.
