"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before. Everyone can create. You don’t need money, position, or influence in order to create something of substance or beauty. You might say, I am not the creative type. If that is how you feel, think again. Creation is your opportunity in this life….. Start small. Creativity does not require a brush, a pen, or the keys of a piano. Don’t let the voice of critics paralyze you. You will make the World a better place. Improve, beautify, extend, smile, cultivate, develop, create."
~President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Nora's Song

Having a kid in morning kindergarten makes it a little hard to get in a few errands. Grocery shopping is fine, no big deal, those stores are open all the time. Other stores don't open until 10am. So when school gets out at 11:15, I can either run around like a crazy busy person and get 2 or 3 done if they are right by each other and I rush, or I can do just one errand and not be rushed and then 'kill' some time while I wait. It's usually the latter for me. And the way I kill time, we go look at houses.

I have a confession. I'm a house stalker. I am. Overhead satellite view. Walk the street view. Several drive-bys. Save the online pictures and look at them daily. And then more drive-bys to 'kill time'.

This was the case on said day.

Also, Nora loves to sing. She makes up songs all the time. These are her very own words, no prompting by me, that came out of the blue from the back seat while we were killing time yesterday.

This is Mommy's song.
Mommy play (with) me.
Mommy feeds Lexie.
And (we) pee in (the) potty.
Mommy wants (a) house.
This is Mommy's song.
