Magic in the Ordinary

If you watched this season's "The Bachelorette", the title of this post may sound vaguely familiar.  One of the guys mentioned this to the Bachelorette and even though he was next to be eliminated, I thought this was pretty sweet.  I don't remember his exact words but he was saying something along the lines of, even though through the show they have gotten to go to some pretty amazing and exotic, and romantic destinations, he believed that there was magic in the ordinary of every day.  Its the little things that can be romantic.  It doesn't always have to be a big production to mean something.

I like this because this is how I feel about motherhood.  I absolutely love being a mother and of course I absolutely adore my children.  Even though we may not always go and do incredible, fantastic things all the time, there are still moments in our everyday lives that completely melt my heart and make me feel so incredibly blessed to have the children that I have.  Moments that make me appreciate so much the fact that I am able to stay home with them and watch them bloom and grow and learn.  There are stretches of days that I realize we haven't left the house at all except to go to church.  And yet, we are still having tons of fun and making great memories.

I'm sure somedays the title will seem kind of cheesy, but on the days that things are chaotic or we're stuck in a rut, maybe it will serve to remind me that there is magic in the ordinary, everyday moments of each day that make the days special if we take the time to find them and cherish them!!

Nothing like some impromptu love between siblings
