Welcome to my humble attempts at documenting the simplicities of my Real Life.

The journey is 365 days.

The purpose is to be reminded that the most important things in life are often the most simple.

My hope is to get back to basics and remember all my blessings; to never be at a loss of things to be thankful for; to sometimes not need words. This is my journal of these things.

Remember that time your child had a tempertantrum because she wanted SPAM?


No? Too bad. I do.

Day 270



Little things excite me....like Jilly writing her first "i."



She got super excited when I told her her name has "polka dots" in it. I told her to make a line with a polka dot above it (with a little demonstration) and then she made one all by herself. Awwww....I'm such a mom.

Day 268


Fridays are good library days!! Jilly always does the happy dance in the parking lot before entering. Then she runs to her section to do the puzzles and read books.
