Bigger Picture Moments {Featuring Lisa}

Every Thursday, the Bigger Picture community comes together to share glimpses of simple, everyday moments which might otherwise be lost in the rush of daily living. Won’t you join us today? Reflect upon something simple — or simply magical — that’s resonated with you this week, then share it with us!

Here’s a look at one of last week’s Bigger Picture Moments, from Lisa at Diapers, Coupons, and Bills, Oh My!  Head over to her place to read the rest!

It was supposed to be a fun evening.

Matt put Reese to bed while I turned our kitchen into a makeshift applesauce
factory complete with peeling, cooking, cooling, and bagging stations. Rinsing
the first batch, I imagined how we would turn up the music and sing and dance
while we peeled and chopped. We would make “someday” plans for our unfinished basement, retirement vacations, and imaginary lottery winnings. We’d throw skins at each other and make a sticky mess and when the last bag was in the freezer, he would chase me back to the bedroom and we’d deal with the pots and pans and floors tomorrow…

His voice brought me back from my fantasy life-before-children evening.

My favorite place in the whole world is Catalina Island. We try and make it
there as much as possible for our family summer vacation, and so far we’ve been getting over there about every other year….

This year was a lot different than all of our other trips for a lot of reasons, mostly the ages of our kids and our ability to relax and do things you can’t always do with toddlers or babies, but the difference I want to hit on in this post was my desire to get out, move, and explore this year.

Bigger Picture Moments {Featuring Rathi}

Every Thursday, our encouraging community comes together to share the harvest of intentional living by capturing a glimpse of the Bigger Picture through a simple moment. Won’t you join us today? Reflect upon something simple — or simply magical — that’s resonated with you this week, then share it with us!

Here’s a look at one of of last week’s Bigger Picture Moments, from Rathi.  Be sure to head over and dig deeper into her words.

This is exactly where I wanted to be.
 
Two months back, I was pining for having less time to myself, I wanted to be dumped with books in varying sizes, colors, and prints. I wanted to sit as a student at a college where I could let my dreams fly and come back to me.
 
Everything is happening.
