Fireflies, Laughter, and a Little Extra Time Together

Tonight, 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 #Fashion
