Tuesday's Gifts

My gal Shan asked the question, "What gifts did your day bring?"

Good question Shan.  Lemme tell you.

Rain.  Beautiful, cleansing rain.

Small, tiny bits of progress in my research.

5 AM wakeups with my best gal.

Farm market cantaloupe the size of my head.

Fresh flowers and natural light, just like my soul needs.

Photo editing that makes me smile.

A mailbox full of newly minted family photos ready for wall hanging.

Newly minted family photos hung on the walls (!!!)

Snuggles from my puppy, whenever I give him the option.

And my favorite moment of the day (aside from the leftover grilled bbq chicken pizza - SO GOOD), was sharing an apple with my bambina.

Seriously.  We're doing this Baby Led Weaning thing.  You wait until around 6 mo, skip the puree's, and go right for little sticks of finger food.  Baby gets to pick what he/she wants to eat, and there's no power struggles.  Or time spent pureeing things.  But there is lots of mess.

Anyhow, one of the perks of BLW is that you share meals with your baby.  Today, #RG & I shared an apple.  She looked at me as she chewed on her apple and I chewed on mine, and I swear, we shared a moment.  She looked at me like "Hey mama!  I'm doing what you're doing!  We're twins!"  It was a sweet, sweet moment.  

So I pass on Shan's question to you: What gifts did your day bring?
