Yesterday we went to gather some firewood from the woodshed. The afternoon light was shining through the wood pile. It looked so beautiful to me. I took pictures of the beams of light through the nooks and crannies.

Honestly, yesterday was one of those days. You know the kind. The exhausting kind where things don’t go according to plan and naptimes don’t happen, which means mamas don’t get time to regenerate, and well, you know. But in the midst of a long day, I took a few moments to appreciate this sight of beauty in a simple everyday sight. And it brought me peace and a smile.
