. . . overreacting when Joy dumped too much baking powder in the strawberry bread. Mom fail. I scooped the excess out and the bread turned out fine.
Today's favorite moments included . . .
. . . listening to two sessions of General Conference. The first session was uplifting, but I wasn't able to listen or ponder much because the kids were pretty rambunctious. The second session fell during naptime, and it was nice to actually be able to pay attention and reflect on what was said. Looking forward to more tomorrow.
. . . taking a walk with Daniel between sessions while Joy made a new train setup with Daddy. It was nice to just let him wander at will rather than always having to keep the two kids within sight of each other. Of course, the catch is that at some point I have to (repeatedly) persuade him to head back toward home. It would be quickest to just carry him, but would you want to haul thirty pounds of annoyed toddler three blocks?
. . . making tasty burgers and a strawberry smoothie for dinner. It always feels good when dinner turns out well, and I'm really glad I finally developed a burger recipe that is easy and consistently tastes good.
. . . reading ‘The Parable of the Little Peruvian Girl’ in a recent article about LDS Philanthropies. I could use more frequent doses of such perspective.
