I was challenged by a blogger I read to take Mondays and brag about my kids. I like the word challenge here because there are days when that's exactly what it is - a challenge. It's really easy for me to be critical and frustrated about the things I don't like or want to be better. In fact, I think I do a lot better job of critiquing my kids than bragging about them, and if I don't brag about them, who will? So I'm going to take the challenge to brag about my kids on Mondays...

Laura Kate tells me she loves me about 5 times a day. "I really love you" she says to me. It melts my heart every time. That's a pretty awesome 3 year old, to tell her mommy that so much.
