"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?"

The Chloe Quote of the Day

While riding in the car with Chloe today, out of nowhere, she asked me:

"Mom, do you think the weather pattern in the Rainforest Cafe mimics the weather pattern in the real rainforest in South America?"

I'd love to be inside her head just for one day.
