I often find myself focusing on the negative moments I’ve had with my kids. Being a mother of two children, one of whom has special needs, can be hard and exhausting. But it is the greatest thing I've ever done. So I have given myself a challenge. For a year I will end every day describing one thing I found truly beautiful. On many days this will be easy. On the challenging days I will have to dig deep. I hope to discover the challenge is picking only one beautiful thing each day.

The Yodeling Car Ride
In the car this afternoon, my children both showed off an unusual talent. While driving home, they started to yodel. That’s right, yodel. I’m not sure what inspired them to do so, but it was something else. Tessie had been chatting away about everything under the sun, when she suddenly said “listen to this mom, yodel-lay-hee-hoo!” I was caught off guard, and laughed. Then Christian gave his attempt, an adorable “yo-hoo-hoo!” They both wanted me to try, so I gave them my best yodel. Before I knew it, the three of us were yodeling down the road. After each round of yodels, Christian shouted “One last time!” which would send us into a fit of giggles, then we were yodeling again. I never thought I would say this, but my yodeling car ride was beautiful.
