Helping hands

I have been finding little hand print cutouts around the house today. Magically, all the beds in the house were made this morning, and a hand print saying "A helping hand was here!" was placed on top of the covers.

Little elves?

No.

Lucie and Alice were hard at work today trying to make everyone's lives a little easier.

Sometimes, a helping hand is all we need to make our day a little brighter.  The older girls, were bright and cheerful after finding the colorful hand prints on their beds upon arriving home from school.  There were lots of hugs and kisses going around this afternoon.

A helping hand can come in the form of someone offering to carpool home from gymnastics, your teenager throwing your wash in after hers is finished, or a sweet boy waking up and changing his baby brother's diaper before coming to get you.

I am lucky to have so many helping hands in my life.
