Simple thanks.

I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.

-G.K. Chesterton

I spent the morning with a sweet mom of three (soon to be 4), a mom whose goal it is to give thanks and teach her children the same. Eating healthfully is a large part of their life, teaching the littles about food and how to cook, giving thanks and growing a garden. The goal of this family is to lead a Christ-centered life, focused and grateful for His gifts. 

Oh and be grateful for butter:)

Small Space. Big Love.

In an age of McMansions it's a pleasure to spend time with someone who makes a small space seem spacious.  A person who gracefully spent 2 years living in a little over 500 square feet with 2 small children while her husband attends seminary. A young Mom who's wise and wonderful with her children, who's an artist with more than one talent. Look see. 

And if you are patient she says,  

you will see the stamen

                         curl toward heaven, the bloom

will lift its frail brown skirts, girlishly, 

and let them fall, at last,  

                          to the wanting ground.    --Julianna Baggot
