Shhh... Quiet Time


Quiet time is a special moment.. maybe twenty minutes, maybe only three, but it is a mother’s dream while it lasts.

This most recent moment was a weeknight after bath time. For the first time in a long time, we opened the toy cabinet under the television. Hair still wet and smelling of lavender, both kids played quietly for nearly half an hour.

It's Christmas all over again. That's the best.
The bottom of an old toy box, what surprises...

Quiet time = angelic time. And rediscovering old toys will do it!
