i remember as a kid,
we had a tape my mom would play in the car.
raffi....if you don't know raffi
& the joys of "baby beluga" i'm sorry for you.
one song sings,
"all i really need is a song in my heart, food in my belly, and love in my family"...
all my siblings know it, and we could all belt it [in unison!] if we were together.
call me cheesy, {i know i am....}
but seriously, aren't those words so true?
lots of days i spend wishing i were fancier, more put together.
i worry about my house being messy & our lack of a 10 year plan.
i forget that i don't need to be doing what everyone else is doing.
tonight,
around the dinner table,
as i listened to olivia's long, sweet, hilarious prayer
about heavenly father helping "no ants bite livy",
eating myron's signature spaghetti,
laughing at chloe's jokes,
& just being together for our
one special night/week that we get...
i'm reminded.
all i really need,
is a song in my heart,
food in my belly,
and love in my family.
and as it turns out,
i have all three. ♥

I have to admit, I used to think you guys were a little nutty about Baby Beluga, but now I am a total convert. It's a great song!
Never heard it, but I need to. What a great motto to live by and it's so, so true!!
I was humming the song as soon as I read the title....and by the end I was crying a little bit. Great post.
