My heart is so full as I write this! I would love to fill yours up too! It's SO HAPPY! There are MANY challenges to parenting, many exclusive to mothering, we are ALL familiar with that. And then there are many MORE rewards, many greater than we could even imagine!! (Sometimes we lose sight of that.) My kids have been stuck on a song from their last choir concert. It wasn't a favorite Continue Reading
Music Memories with my Mom
From my earliest memories I can remember with such warmth, happiness (and detail still!) my Mom playing the piano and my sister (2 years younger) and I RUNNING to the piano to sing with her.
