{Magic}

I believe in magic.

I went to magic school as a child, and pride myself in my ability to perform small, unbelievable tricks. Motherhood is one such trick. Full of magic, and indescribable feats, motherhood can render one speechless and awestruck. This time of year is especially magical, and as the mother in my home, I am responsible for catering much of this magic. Early morning devotionals, opportunities for service, and yes even the belief in elves big and small all stem from mother.

Magic takes time. It takes practice and skill. And it can be both exhausting and fulfilling.

In the midst of mothering and mayhem, remember to make magic. Those are the moments that will one day make up our memories. The thrill and excitement of giving in secret, the joy and delight when given a gift... this season offers so many magical blessings and life lessons. I hope they will be passed on to my children... and then for generations to come.

Excuse my disappearing act. I hope to record more of the magical moments.
