- listening to an audiobook together with the kids in the car.
- when my nails are painted.
- hearing snippets of C singing while she plays.
- lighting a new candle after the kids go down to bed.
- learning something is less expensive when you get up to the register.
- taking a walk with a friend.
- when E and K get off the bus and run toward our house.
- seeing the streetlights come on in the neighborhood.
- when no one complains about dinner.
