A dear friend emailed me in response to reading my blog (or blogs- not sure) telling me that I am a "wonderful homeschooling Catholic mom". I appreciate the compliment. Especially from her. This friend knows me- the good, the bad, and the ugly.
It also gave me pause to think about what I share in blogland.
A line from a movie popped in my head- "I used only the good notes."
This was used in reference to a melody that a man composed in honor of a lady friend. While it was a cute romantic line in the movie, it pretty accurately describes my blogging. While I occasionally share a sour note, I try to stick to the good ones!
So when I share our magical morning of putting up Christmas lights, it really truly was magical.
YET, it was not without those moments.
I contributed a few of them as our lights project was getting of the ground (yep, sour notes are not just for kids).
Along the way, I cringed thinking the neighbors might actually hear how my kiddos were talking to each other in the front yard.
And then- bliss.
Things settle in and everyone seems to be working happily together... for now!

God bless you during this holy, yet very real, advent!
