Who would have ever thought dirty burp cloths would bring so much joy? I was climbing into bed tonight after such a long, exhausting but exhilarating day and as I pulled back the covers, I noticed a white cloth barely peeking through the sheets. Sure enough, it was a burp cloth leftover from a very early morning feeding today. I couldn't help but smile...as my heart skipped a beat at the site of a used burp cloth, I realized that this love I have for my children is incomparable to any love I'd ever imagined. This is the kind of love that makes you forget on some days to brush your teeth, forget to comb your hair, forget to take showers, even forget to properly make the bed in the morning - had I done so, I would have found that burp cloth much sooner! It was just one of those moments that made me realize that life truly is about the little things...even the dirty burp cloths.

Isn't it fun to see what trivial things excite a mommy and remind her of all the love she's surrounded with.
