You Are Worthy : You Are Enough : Brené Brown DVD Giveaway

Good Morning...well I have to say one of my very defining ordinary moments would be the other day. I have a "project life" album I am working on too. While in my sons room cleaning, he has this bag FULL of metal hangers that his work uniforms come on. I have asked and asked for him to take them back to his work so the uniform company can get back 1,000 of its hangers. WELL still he has not done that. I decided that would be my picture of the day. It won't be that too long before that kind of stuff won't be there to bug me, to irritate me, and you know possibly to remind me of my son that charms my everyday life :)

Everyday Moment - picking up my daughter from school at 12noon and having her face light up when she sees me.

Dinner with my family....

There is a small stretch on my work commute where I have a great view of the front range of the Rockies. I can see the whole sweep of mountains from Colorado Springs all the way to Boulder. It takes my breath away every time.

That moment, when the phone rings. The name is Unknown Caller, Unknown Number. I know it is one of my daughters calling either from the UK or France. The following moments I treasure.

These days, it is definately when I walk into a room and I see my 9 months baby girl walking towards me and saying mama. Exceptional!

Ordinary moments make up our "real" lives and I love capturing them on my scrapbook pages. Thanks for the inspiring blog posts! I cherish our weekend mornings when the kids crawl in bed with us and we just cuddle and giggle.

Watching my partner read to our daughter in the other room. Simple, sweet, quiet and lovely.

Sofa evenings with my husband, watching a movie and sharing thoughts on small and big things.

Dropping off my boys lunch at their school. Sometimes I feel bad because I am not organized enough for it to make it into their backpack in the morning, but then I remind myself that it's still a lunch made with love, and is probably much yummier because I took the time to make them a special lunch instead of just throwing one together in the morning.

Even though all my girls are teens and one is in college, we try to have family dinners at the dining room table as much as possible. And even though dinners are usually a quick affair... pass me the cheese... can I have a napkin... and they are off to their own pursuits within minutes, it is still nice to have everyone together for a few minutes a day.

This video looks wonderful. Thanks for the chance.

There's a quote from StoryPeople that I really like:
"Time stands still best in moments that look suspiciously like ordinary life."
A glimpse of one of our ordinary moments: Playing ping-pong every night with my 14 yr old son...we get to chat about his day. Love that he still wants to spend time with his old mom :)

My favorite time is almost all the time, I have a great family and really appriate what I have and am really proud of my children. Personaly, my "me" time that I really enjoy is an early night with a good book.

Sitting down at my computer, coffee in hand, prepared for a better day than yesterday. Opening an e-mail; yet another friend is pregnant. I am joyful for her, but my heart cracks and I start to cry. I text my husband, "Life is not fair," and he knows it will be another sad day for me. I say a prayer and hope my friend knows how blessed she is.
[I just reread your post and see I'm supposed to leave a *favorite* ordinary moment. So I'll add one: the ritual of filling the coffee maker every morning, the smell of the cinnamon coffee grounds, the gurgles and hisses as it brews, the grip of my favorite mug, the warmth, and the possibilities for the day ahead.]

This may sound weird...but last night, I helped my husband bottle beer...sitting on the floor in our mud room filling beer bottles and chatting about all sorts of topics. My hobby is scrapbooking; his hobby is brewing beer. We both enjoy the results of each other's hobbies and help each other when necessary. I love sharing this life with him.

my little guy growling like he is a monster and then turning to give me a huge, wicked grin, followed by a big wet 2 year old kiss. then back to the growling and yelling of course. those are the best moments.

My parents are 68 and 70 years old and the same as they ever were. Yesterday as I dialed the phone for our daily early AM phone call, I was just struck by how happy I am that this is part of a normal day. I know things won't be like this forever.

Having dinner together every night all of us at the table talking about our day.

LOVE Brené, she is so authentic and accessible. My ordinary moment, right now, I'm getting my son ready to head out to his hockey. What other way to spend Spring Break than by practicing something you love?

Making ordinary mornings special by making pancakes with chocolate chips in them. :)

My favorite ordinary moment is sunday afernoon - it's the time that I can stay with my husband and dog without worry with anything else, it's our time!
