The Little Things

The Little Things make the best moments!
To start out:

 These little balls of goodness. Basically, mashed potato balls that taste like donuts. Alex calls them round french fries! These make life okay.

 And secondly, French horoscopes. I don't know what it's saying but I do know that at the end it says "Bravo!" so the Universe must think I'm doing something right. Okay!

Back to the rest of my day:
 Today I started off with a short (like really short) run up and down some stairs. I am exhausted but it felt good to get my blood pumping a little.
After that and a nice hot shower, I used my half day to catch up on the LDS Women's Conference! Generally I think those talks are too much about "multiply and replenish the earth", which they are, but after having a new nephew born and me being anchored to children for the next year, I found a lot of comfort in being reminded that children are innocent and need to be taught with love. It sure help put me in the right mindset for a Wednesday :) I love how the gospel can change a day/attitude around instantly.

I attended a phonics class today as well so that I can have the tools to help teach the 5 year old how to read in English. It was great being in a room of adults who spoke English! There is no greater relief than being understood, I swear. It was a fun class and at one point, all of me and the parents were sitting there making "ooo" and "ppp" and "fff" and "wwww" sounds hahahaha. It was like we were back in Kindergarten! Then a nice long time at the park (my fav) and home to a yummy meal.

That's about it! Even the most insignificant days turn out to be the best kind. And I know it was all because of my choice to listen to conference. I cannot wait for this weekend's sessions!! ...In France time, of course.
