It is just what I needed. God is so good! I've been so encouraged in mommy-hood and homemaking. It has been a much-welcomed hug for me and has touched many of my heartstrings.

We'd take turns!

I also love cuddling in be in the morning before you get the day started. I quiet agree it is very rewarding when your little one finally completes a task that you have been trying to teach them.

So much time, unfettered by educational demands, etc. I had weekly get-togethers with other mom-friends and their kids, and I really miss having the time for that. Most all of our social outings these days are church or homeschool related, which isn't bad, I just hated "outgrowing" that time in my life. It's part of motherhood, I think, to cultivate friendships that mesh with the particular seasons in life. Blogging has filled a void in me, giving me a little daily interaction with other moms just for me. :) Thanks, Colleen! I, too, love a fire in the grate and a good book. My spirit has been craving fall lately...I even made pumpkin soup the other day, courtesy of a dear friend's recipe. It was sooo good! Even on a hot day... Amy, I loved those years too.

I was able to teach them in a relaxed way in our own environment and even now people comment on how bright they are intellectually. Moms can make a big difference.
