little corner of life

Is there one place in your house that is your corner of refuge? Maybe it is a chair you like to read in (for those 15 minutes in between putting the kids down and before the dryer beeps). Maybe you have a beautiful porch to sit and read your coffee (if you do, I hate you and am totally jealous). For you, maybe there is a spot in your yard that you have turned into your own.

For me, my favorite part of the house is my kitchen window sill. It sits above my sink so I am there quite often. It holds things that are treasures to me and make my heart smile every time I see them.

There is the cute little sheep on the left that Brian bought me on a trip to the Biltmore House. This was on the weekend of my grandfather's funeral that I could not attend on the West Coast and he was doing his best to cheer me up. I bought Brian the cow on the right to be the sheep's friend the year after.

Then a silver plaque reading "Our Darling." The plaque was give to us by a couple who had been through 5 IVF's to get pregnant with their daughter. It had been something special to them that reminded them that God had a child for them. We have had it on our windowsill for the past 3 years while waiting for God to bring Lila.

A card that my mom brought me on my first day of work, reminding me I can do this working mother thing.

A picture of Brian and Lila, just 2 weeks after she was born.

The framed card I bought on a business trip in Seattle reminding me it is okay to be a little out of the ordinary. "Masquerading as a normal person day after day is exhausting."

A beautiful ceramic piece telling me to always "Expect A Miracle"
