hearing

     the kids singing backyardigan songs

     the chickens clucking outside my window

     L making animal noises

seeing

     my quest to restore order in my room almost complete

     yellow tulips from trader joes just opening

     a family room that looks almost empty without the christmas tree

learning

     how to use my new laptop

     to curl b's hair with a marcel iron

     what i want from 2012

smelling

     cinnamon muffins baked by s

     L needs to be changed!

grateful

    for my hardworking husband

    for families

    the freedom to choose how i homeschool
