You Are Worthy : You Are Enough : Brené Brown DVD Giveaway

I have to pick just ONE favorite everyday moment? LOL. Probably my "conversations" with my three year old son. The things he learns, says just amazes me and cracks me up at the same time. He totally takes after me in his story telling, hand movements and all. LOVE IT!

The interview with Dr. Brown is amazing! One of my favorite ordinary moments is just listening to the sounds of the wind chime outside our front door. There is no rhyme or reason to it, it just blows with the wind...I like the randomness of the sound.

Great idea! I can't wait to explore this topic.

me too! it's so nice to be friends with my children.

I love having quiet time to read, spending time in the summer with my family playing by the lake, and I really cherish those moments when you haven't talked to an old friend in ages and you pick up like no time has passed at all.

this morning as we lay in bed with our almost two year old daughter between us, my husband commented on how two years ago, it was our son miles who lay between us in the very same position. at that time piper was still securely tucked in my womb and we had no idea how our family would adjust to her arrival. this morning we paused for just a moment, acknowledging the gift of our children and the all too quick passage of time. it was entirely ordinary and perfectly worthy of celebrating.

I love the "ordinary" moments when I stop by to see my nieces and nephews and my sweet 7 yr old god-daughter asks if she can paint my nails. I'm not a painted nails type of person, but I just have to let her because she so enjoys it and to be honest, it does make me a bit happy over the next couple of days to remember her sweet little face as she so intently sat there and painted my nails!

Some of my favorite ordinary moments are when the kids don't know I'm watching them. When they are being sweet to each other, being polite to a schoolmate, being thoughtful of their grandparents, etc. It makes my heart almost burst to watch them, through lots of tiny every day moments, turning into beautiful PEOPLE. (Makes me feel like I'm doing something right too ;)

It's what I'm doing right now. Snuggled in bed with my 7 year old listening to the sound of her breathing as she falls asleep.

...reading to my kids, in bed.
Ali, I found Brene's site through your blog and I am reading her first book with the podcasts. I can't thank you enough.

my ordinary moment is when my 4 yr old son and 7 yr old daughter creep into my bed at night and i feel their little bodies next to mine...just pure bliss!!

I love this idea. My favorite ordinary moment happened just recently. We had just finished the family movie and it was time to brush teeth and go to bed. As always my girls tried to stall by telling us they needed to "family dance to the ABC music". So... we danced!

I have lots of them, but my current fave is reading aloud in the evenings. Everyone in our house can read now, and we take turns reading books of varying levels to each other. Thank you! This sounds like an amazing DVD.

My most cherished ordinary moments are those spent sitting on the bottom steps looking out of the front window waiting for the bus with my 14 year old son. He is still and he is present - two things that a teenage boy seldom is! We talk, we laugh, we love. Priceless.

One of my favorite moments happened today. My husband couldn't come to my son's soccer practice. With about 15 mins. left my husband walks in. Patrick catches sight of his dad, jumps up and down, then tells all his friends that his dad is there. My husband was SO excited that he could see Patrick's excitement and watch his son practice soccer.

My favorite everyday moment is cuddling with my children as I wake them up in the morning. It is a great way to start the day!

As a first year teacher I'm adequately reminded of the fact of what I know, what I thought I knew, and what I don't know. One thing that I have learned is that people, even little one's, want to know their loved, appreciated, and listened to. My favorite moments are when a child trusts me enough to confide in me. Sometimes it challenges me to be a better person, sometimes it requires positive or negative actions, and sometimes my words inspire change in someone who will affect all of our futures. It's remarkable, overwhelming, and inspirational all at once. It's the best non-job I've ever had.

I love how every morning my 2 yr old must get her Tink backpack just like her big sister does and head out the door for the drive to school. She is trying to grow up on me already.

Without a doubt, waking my daughter up each morning. It's quiet and warm and snuggly. I whisper and run my fingers through her hair until she becomes aware...then I talk about her day and what she gets to experience. She usually wakes up animated and excited, looking forward to the day ahead. The possibility...at some point she tries to snuggle back in and I have to tickle her to get her up. We both start the day with a smile: it's our routine and the best part of my day.
