Top 25 Photos From the Magic In The Mundane Instagram Challenge
A couple of weeks ago, I challenged you all to be on the look out for magical moments in the midst of the mundane moments of your day. I hosted a challenge on Instagram with the hash tag: #magicinthemundane and I had so much fun seeing what each of you captured. It was so hard to pick my favorites, because there were so many great moments to choose from (there were nearly 400 photos under the hash tag!).

Thanks to all of you who joined in and made this a fun challenge!

I always thought my mom was pretty great, but it took becoming a mother myself for me to really take note of all the little things she did that helped to shape me into the person I have become.
