My friend, Trishelle, is totally freaking amazing in every way. She has this zest and passion for life that is so seriously out of this world. Callous words NEVER escape her tongue and she flutters around buoying up everyone with whom she comes in contact. Her testimony of the Savior is inspirational. She takes being a mother and wife to a level indescribable with words. Her family is her world, her friends are her passion and her Savior is who her life is centered around. I want to be like her when I grow up.
Yesterday on her blog, she posted this: "I may have shared the advice a clergy member gave to us a few years ago: When someone comes home, make their entrance a big deal. Make them feel important by letting them know how excited you are to see their face"
I must admit, I was literally reduced to tears. Most of the time when Mike comes home he is greeted with chaos. I am either in the kitchen trying to make something for dinner or behind my computer trying to catch up on work. The kids are whining, the TV is blaring and there is probably a poopy diaper that needs changing. It is not a peaceful, serene escape from the world that I have always longed for in my home.
So here's to trying to improve myself in a small, simple way with a promise to change the mood in my home, even for a brief moment.

I read her post and I think it's a great goal! I have a goal to have all the toys out of the living room before the hubby gets home. That's one of his pet peeves is to have toys under his feet!
The excitement when he comes home is always high, the kids scream when he arrives!
I hope you can achieve your goal and that Mike appreciates it!
very good goal to have
