zen parenting moment

I am a lazy blogger this week, soaking in the end of summer, the last warm days, gearing up for canning efforts, a quick vacation up north and then school starts! 

And so, I pour my second giant cup of coffee and pile the kids in the car. 

To the lake to the lake! Baby chants as we drive, wind whipping our hair, Yay mommy! Good job mommy!! 

And she claps her hands. For me. And really that is all the praise I need today.
