Blogger I JUST Discovered....

I just found a new blog I'm lovin by Teaching 2 and 3 Year Olds. It's a link on books that are good for this age group, geared towards younger preschoolers...just like her blog! Woot! One particular post is about Our Favorite Books by Subject. So, if you're looking to hit the library for some age appropriate reads, check out her post before heading out with your kiddos in tow! She's got groups for Starting School, Autumn, Colors, Farm Books, Hibernation, Gingerbread, Winter, and the Beach and Ocean and links to wear you can buy them, if you are so inclined. I am glad to have stumbled onto her blog as I've struggled to find things for younger preschoolers. Well, let's be honest...I haven't looked hard yet. But at least I've tried, and this is a good find.

Little Wonders

I've been recently fascinated with THIS SONG since watching Disney's movie "Meet the Robinsons", the theme of which is "family."  I really liked this movie. There is some time travel, a classic plot and good slapstick humor and it's pro-adoption. There are moments that make you laugh out loud and others that have you reaching for the Kleenex.

The song I'm loving is called "Little Wonders" by Rob Thomas. I am not familiar with anything else he sings or does, but I do like this one. He sings about "fate". I'd like to believe it's God orchestrating our lives, so I think about THAT when I hear it.

As a newer mom, I tend to stress about crap that's not going to matter and some that WILL, but I need to remember that life is happening NOW. I can't think about the future or I will MISS THE NOW. I don't want to miss it. I want to soak it in and let it radiate out of my skin like a thousand suns of happiness. I want to ooze awe over these beautiful blessings that God has given to me. Complain less, ooze more happiness. Make more memories. Get messy. Let the kids get dirty more often.

Soak this in my sisters...ooze awe over those babies you've been blessed with. Don't get bogged down in the day to day crap and don't forget to lean on each other and ask for help or advice. We need each other, and the time is now.

"Little Wonders"

Let it go,
Let it roll right off your shoulder
Don't you know
The hardest part is over.
Let it in,
Let your clarity define you.
In the end
We will only just remember how it feels.

Our lives are made
In these small hours.
These little wonders,
These twists & turns of fate
Time falls away,
But these small hours,
These small hours still remain.

Let it slide,
Let your troubles fall behind you
Let it shine
Until you feel it all around you.
And I don't mind
If it's me you need to turn to
We'll get by,
It's the heart that really matters in the end.

Our lives are made
In these small hours
These little wonders,
These twists & turns of fate.
Time falls away,
But these small hours,
These small hours still remain.

All of my regret
Will wash away some how
But I can not forget
The way I feel right now

In these small hours
These little wonders
These twists & turns of fate
These twists & turns of fate
Time falls away but these small hours
These small hours, still remain,
Oh they still remain
These little wonders
These twists & turns of fate
Time falls away
But these small hours
These little wonders still remain.
