It’s a nice stack of wheat pancakes smothered in maple syrup and butter kind of day.
A fold three loads of laundry, wash a sink full of dirty dishes, and scrub the house sort of day.
It’s fill the water jug with ice water and take out to dad hauling hay kind of day.
Keeping busy writing stories and drawing pictures sort of day.
Chasing this hurricane, enjoying the eye of the storm type of day.
Snoozing and napping in the afternoon because they were up early raking hay kind of day.
It’s flopping on beds, quilts flapping in the wind type of day.
Music floating through the air, nails tapping the beat kind of day.
A filling my cup and rocking my world mundane sort of day.
“So often, our acts of service consist of simple encouragement or of giving mundane help with mundane tasks, but what glorious consequences can flow from mundane acts and from small but deliberate deeds!” Spencer W. Kimball
Motherhood is made up of the mundane. Doing simple repetitive tasks, day after day, to provide a place of comfort, a place of refuge for those who are most important in your life. Embrace the mundane and it will no longer be mundane in your eyes.
Love this…thanks for sharing! Also, what drawing book is that one of your daughters is drawing from (it looks to have a hedgehog and pirate on the page)?
It’s called Drawing Shape by Shape by Chris Hart. One of my daughters won it as a prize from the bookmobile last year or the year before. It has very simple step by step “instructions” that are just pictures so even the four year old can follow and draw.
This spoke to my heart. I don’t comment often but I wanted to you let you know Montse that you are an inspiration and your family is beautiful.
Well said. I shared this with my daughter who has a houseful of little children. This quote deserves a place on wall and in a mother’s heart.
Love it! What a great reminder.
Ha! I think I needed this today. Looks like a lovely day. Thanks for sharing.
Oh, I needed to read this. I do the mundane every day. Yesterday was overwhelming but after many prayers, a good nights rest, and more prayer, today was a joyously mundane sort of day. Thank you for the reminder.
Very mundane. But so meaningful when you put it all together
