"A house does not have to be perfect to be a home of joy, a child does not have to behave perfectly to love and be loved, and every moment of life does not have to be perfect to be of value. Too often, I realize, we fail to see the glorious reality of the simple joy that abounds in the seemingly mundane routine of day-to-day living. Instead, we tend to idolize the past, idealize the future, and devalue the present.... What better way to show our appreciation to Heavenly Father for what we have than to embrace our lives, albeit 'ordinary' and 'unexciting,' with joy?"

Eating Healthy

Chloe was, in her own words, "starving" after gymnastics this evening. As we loaded into the car, she asked me if we could go to Taco Bell and get a soft taco and nachos. I told her no, that we were going to eat at home. Because she is five, she asked "why?" To which I replied that it was healthier to eat at home.

Chloe's solution? "Well, lets just go through the drive-thru!"
