Things That Make Me Happy Today

 

This week is a traveling week for us. We will leave the green hills of Texas and head to the Frozen Tundra. The kids and I have been here for the past 3.5 weeks on our own, while my love has been working up north. It was too cold to take the RV that direction but it's a tad warmer, like 30 degrees now. I pick him up tomorrow at the airport and after much making out in the airport he will drive us 1300 miles in 4 days.

It will be rough to leave here. We've been here since early December. Three months is a long time for my gypsy soul to be in one place. I am excited for the next chapter and to see family and familiar things again. But it will be hard to leave the love that is Hill Shade and my girl Christine. There will be much weeping and gnashing of teeth on the day we drive up the hill.

In the meantime here are some things that are inspiring me and bringing my nuggets of joy in amidst the chaos.

*I love Danielle and have been reading her stuff for years. This post is a couple years old but worth reading if you missed it 

Tara, seems to channel my brain and her post yesterday made me weep. 

Pinterest is a new love and time suck. Don't say I didn't warn you.

In my Visionary Mom team we use the term "holding a space" for each other and I love how this author describes what that means.

And for a little fun. The kids and I have been watching Idol again this season and I have a new love for J Lo. Don't judge me. I love her new song, it's great for dancing to. You know, if you're the dancing type.
