Today I join Holistic Mama in celebrating my joy pockets this week. This is a list of the little things that bring me joy — things I want to remember and cherish. ”No matter what is going on in our lives finding the little moments that bring us some joy reminds us what we are here for… to love life.”

another upside to sick children: the joy of quick recoveries! hooray for feeling good!

welcome to joy pockets!
and what lovely pockets you’ve had this week. love them painting together, 2hr naps!, and finding rhythm.
have a wonderful weekend.
It looks like you’ve pieced together a lovely week. Now I’m itching to try that homemade laundry soap.
It’s been pretty great so far, Angela! I tried homemade dishwasher detergent before and that didn’t work so well for us, but the laundry soap is working well. Clean, nice smelling laundry, And it’s cheap!!! I used fels naptha for the shredded bar of soap.
Your girls are getting so big! Love those pictures, esp the painting one. We had quick recoveries from illness, too. I’m just happy my little guy napped at all after skipping so much lately!
I’m so glad to see that you’ve taken up Joy Pockets! I love them so. Children and paint go wonderfully together, almost as well as busy parents and peaceful naptimes
I looove dairy free enchiladas! Have you ever tried making them with cashew cheese? It’s a fave of mine!
