It happens every summer. There is always that one cold day with freezing rain (and snow in the mountains) that makes you wonder what the heck is wrong with Mother Nature. I came home completely freezing and exhausted and my head was pounding but Kylee was there to meet me at the door with a huge smile on her face. I asked her what she was so happy about and she told me that the weather made her happy. When I asked her why, she said: "It's perfect homemade chicken soup weather." My mom taught me how to make homemade chicken noodle soup with homemade noodles and my kids think it is the best thing ever. She gave me her sweet face and asked if she could help me make dinner. It was a very awesome mom moment and probably the best batch of soup I've ever made.
My kids teach me so much more than I probably teach them. It's the simple things in life that really matter. Even on the freezing cold days when nothing has gone right and you feel like crap...there can be something great and special about the day. Homemade chicken noodle soup was more than just our dinner that night. I am so very thankful for these awesome moments in life.
