- The way Grace calls me 'Mama'. I always referred to myself as Mama to her since she was a newborn - I never wanted to be a 'Mommy'. Not sure why. But she calls me Mama now and I soak it up.
- Aidan. He had his first true laughter yesterday. It's absolutely wonderful.
- Nate. I'm so proud of him for so many reasons. He's making some hard choices right now in regards to his career, all done for our family, and I am honored to be his wife and friend.
- Iced Caramel Macchiatos from Starbucks. It's honestly too beautiful out for a hot latte.
- Sitting on the deck, enjoying my iced coffee, and watching Grace play with our Golden Retriever Clifford. Those two are enamored with eachother.
- Being a stay at home Mom. I love my job of keeping our little family running.
- Sleep. Aidan gave me almost 7 hours straight last night. First time in a month and a half. It was bliss and I hope it happens again - soon.
- Life. Life feels so good right now. I'm focusing on the positives, and steering clear of the negatives. We are so blessed to live somewhere so free. Free of poverty, free from want, free to be.
- Yarn - when do I not love yarn? I've found my knitting 'mojo' again and some longterm WIP's are nearing completion. Finishing things up always feels good.
- Me. I feel at a great balance right now. For the first bit after a baby your body still feels foreign. It is starting to feel like the 'old' me again. It's good.
What are you loving right now?

My little boy and the wonderful sunshine outside.
The flowers in my front garden that the deer have not eaten!!!
Cold Ice tea.... awwww.
Have a great rest of your week with hopefully more nights of seven hours of sleep!
sunshine!
all kinds of things, really. :)
and i am loving the lightness in your last few posts. doesn't it feel good to spit out the heavy stuff and work through it and then feel the lightness left behind after a thrown off and lifted load?
keep soaking up that sun as long as you have it!
we'll be outside again today. :)
Great post Carmen, thanks for the reminder to be grateful and positive!
Carmen! I've missed you. Just getting the time to catch up with everyone. So happy to read you're at home with your little ones! That's a wonderful gift for all of you. *Hugs*
