Beautiful baby boy

20 May

When I smell his sweet breath,
when hear his tiny coos,
when I watch him smile back at me or kick his feet in excitement,
when I feel his soft warm skin against my cheek as he snuggles up against me,
I realize that every second of sleep lost has and will continue to be worth it.

I love mommy-hood so much. Even when it means days where I’m less than happy or nights when I don’t know how I’m going to keep my eyes open one second longer. The challenge is remembering the beautiful moments in the middle of the stressful ones.

I’m doing much better this past week and I’m so thankful for all the words of encouragement that let me know I’m not alone. You changed my perspective and helped me more than you know.

Hello and welcome. It’s been a while. For Lent this year I decided to fast from the thing that took too much of my attention from what is truly important: Social Media. Though there are countless amazing benefits to Social Media, after about a month offline so far, there are seemingly just as many negatives. I never realized how much of my brain had been hijacked by it. I’ve had so many revelations about how much easier it is to move forward when I’m not constantly reminded of the past. But I still want to record my family as they grow at this ridiculous speed and, I’m realizing, so many of our family’s memories are here. Those along with so many of the struggles and stages we’ve worked through. Maybe in the midst of COVID19 isolation and my kids around me so often, I’m brought back to a time when they were too young for school and with me so often. Writing here during that time helped make up for the limited adult conversation in my days and the overwhelm provided by my… little treasures 😉 My husband, fur babies, three fiesty kids, and I hereby extend an invitation to visit this little sneak peak into our life. We’re super flawed and broken and there aren’t too many dull moments around here. And I promise it’s not always as magical as some of my golden hour, sun-soaked images would suggest. There’s usually too much coffee in my system and we welcome all the prayers. Come on over if you want to process with me.
