Mommy I Feel My Heart

I am not always 100% sold on this stay-at-home-mom thing. Also this constantly-looking-for-freelance-work thing. But, for the first, there are those days where the kiddos and I go traipsing through the woods near our house on an adventure. Or that time about a month ago, when Big Sis stopped mid-play, turned to look at me with the widest eyes and a faint smile and said "Mommy, I feel my heart." To witness the first moment another human notices their own heart beating, and particularly when that human is a child that you love, is kind of awesome. Then she just ran back to playing and I was like "Oh yeah, this gig is not too shabby." And by-the-by I'm alive too, which is cool.
