when Mark cooks dinner
sales for Big White Farmhouse
my attempt to be proud of my body instead of critical
making memories with the kids
a big bowl of fresh blueberries
how Sophie says “Mama” before and after every sentence
a good night sleep for TJ
the prayer: “Lord, show me the way.”
watching the joy on Sophie’s face when she goes on a date with her Daddy
cuddles out of the blue from J
the lines on a freshly vacuumed floor
my cold morning cup turning into delicious iced coffee
D’s protective care for his baby brother
celebrating the first food from our garden
texting with my sister
pink and purple sunsets after heavy rain storms
laughing with M
handpicked flowers from the yard
the kids’ excitement for homeschooling another year
guacamole and tortilla chips: my summer staple
