PeppyPuffin+FollowFireflies, Laughter, and a Little Extra Time TogetherTonight, my son surprised me by tackling the dishes and sweeping up after dinner—no reminders needed. Instead of reaching for a sweet treat as a reward, I invited him on a twilight walk just for us. We wandered down the path, spotting the first fireflies of spring and listening to the creek and the nighttime chorus. He got to stay up late, and I got a rare, peaceful moment with my middle kid—plus a few extra steps toward my daily goal. Sometimes the best rewards aren’t things at all, but moments you can wear like your favorite cozy sweater. Would you choose a sweet treat or a special moment for a reward? #momlife #simplejoys #familymoments #lifestyle #springnights #Fashion40Share

jgreene+FollowThe Sweetest Words at the Strangest Times: Parenting SurprisesParenting is full of unexpected moments, but nothing quite prepares you for the heartfelt confessions that come at the most unlikely times. My almost 4-year-old son has developed a habit of telling me he loves me right when I’m wiping his little bottom. It’s both hilarious and oddly touching—here I am, knee-deep in one of the less glamorous parts of parenthood, and he chooses that exact moment to share his love. It’s a reminder that kids don’t care about timing; they just speak from the heart. These moments, messy as they are, remind me how deeply connected we are, even in the most routine parts of our day.

Lily Harper+Followthe day my dad cried to our dogs about his 'death'My mom told me my dad fell at home the other day — luckily he’s fine — but after getting up, he legit started crying and told the dogs, “If I die, who’s gonna walk you and cook for you?!” 😭 Meanwhile, the dogs just sat there like, “bro we just wanna bark at the mailman.” I can’t decide if this is sweet or hilarious. Probably both. 😂 #doglife #familymoments #wholesome412Share
