Here are a few of the everyday glimpses of beauty in my day today! Hallee’s first nap in her big-girl crib in Gigi’s room! Gigi spent all morning pretending to work in a face-painting shop.

The years are short, but the days are indeed long.

by gidget gratitude

Sometimes I find myself reading frantically simply because I want to finish a book. I have a tendency to read several books at once and there are so many more books I want to read that I seem to be just trying to get through. That’s how life feels right now, too. I’ve got so [...]
