A Day

Sometimes, most times, it only takes a day.  One wonderful, easy, calm, delicious day to redirect and remind, to renew and rejuvenate.

Today, was precisely that day.


A day that was all us.  Full to the brim, but in that magical way that leaves you energized, excited, in love and wanting more.

A day of long morning walks in sweaters and socks.  A day of donuts and fun erranding for supplies for fun to come.


A day of experimenting and mixing, delighting and giggling.

A day of long naps for my big girl and no naps for my little one.  A day so great that it didn't matter.  A day of spending that precious time with my littlest, doing our favorite exercise tape.  A day where I was reminded yet again of how much cuter toddler thigh dimples are than my own.  A day where I couldn't have cared less about my thigh dimples.

A day of celebrating being together, presently and calmly.  A day of cake baking for no other reason than we love it and it tastes oh so good.  A day of mixing and measuring spoon licking and snack time decadence, because who can wait for dessert when fresh cream cheese pecan frosting is involved?




A day with an impromptu date night, so rare, so welcome, so well timed.  A night alone with my worn out boy, to just be us, as we are, take a moment, or 60, and be.

A day of mixed emotions.  After such a hard week, this day feels like the right day.  Not those other hurried flurried flustered days.  Today was the day.  A day where we've enjoyed so much and been so happy.  An easy us day.

All it took was a day.  A beautiful wonderful awesome amazing day.  And we're back.
