The transition from being a full-time working wife to that of a stay-at-home wife AND mom has been quite a bit more challenging than I ever imagined (and a topic for another time). However, it has caused me to begin appreciating the little things more. Here are a few of them...
Sunshine - even if I only see it through the window on a particular day
Enjoying a cup of coffee in peace and quiet
In-laws who live just a few minutes away. They've graciously baby-sat, support us as new parents and sometimes just provide a place to go when we have cabin fever.
Alone time at 2:00 am
Listening to the wisdom of preachers who have long since gone to be with the Lord
Watching my daughter grow: rolling over, trying to sit-up, her first tooth and all her smiles and giggles
The times when Aven will sleep in my arms
A hot shower
Clean clothes (at least for a few minutes without formula, spit-up or cereal)
Store brands
A car ride with my husband just so we can catch up
Seeing my family fall in love with my daughter
The little hungry whine Aven makes in the wee hours of morning when she's started to eat and I have to take the bottle away for a moment
Sleepytime tea...time to have a cup and call it a night :-)
