making time…
Before I was a mommy I thought I would never let anyone else hold my baby. Then once the baby came, I craved a break and would gladly give him up to loving, capable arms. The busyness of life creeps in and there always seems to be some place to be. So this is a friendly reminder to myself to take time to listen better, cuddle a little longer, build one more puzzle, give a few more kisses and laugh off little accidents. The time goes quickly, I don’t want to rush it.

that is so incredibly true. i need this reminder too - far more often than i should. thanks for this post today, it was what i needed.
So true. As you know my kids have been sick. We’ve had to stay home the last several days and though I hate that they are sick, I actually thanked God for forcing us to slow down and just enjoy being lazy together. Today is day five and we all went on a well needed outing:)
So true, so true!
Well said!
Wow, well spoken!
My mom would tell me when my boys were little, “these are the happiest days of your life” I wondered at the time but now I know for sure. Little boys little problems, big boys, bigger problems.
I couldn’t say it better!
Isn’t it amazing how we crave time with our loved ones, but once we are in the moment, there are a million distractions. Even as an auntie I find myself thinking, maybe I can wash the dishes really fast or make a snack or clean up the bedroom. Some things have to be done now, but most things can wait. Treasure the here and now!
Love you love you, smart-mama, you!
Sigh. I feel every day slipping away so quickly.
Beautiful photo, as always.

Such good advice for all of us!
That is really good advice and I MUST remember it. Thanks!
I love that photo you posted here. Wow.
What a great reminder. We do get caught up in the less important sometimes and forget what matters most.
