Motherhood is...

Hearing squeals of giggles and peeking to see what's going on and realizing it's the baby making the big brother laugh.

*Melt my heart*

(She was acting silly, totally on purpose... She would crawl two "steps" then plop flat on her belly, get up and do it all over, again and again, just because she knew she'd get a belly laugh out of him)

Then 5 min later...

Hearing 1000 legos hit the floor while being dumped out of their box and then tossing and spreading of the legos to every corner of the room and then some.

Right before I was going to vacuum and mop the floor. In that room.

*Sigh*

Roll with the punches. Just roll with the punches.





Love them :)

Needing to declutter...

Serenity. This is it.

I feel cluttered. 

It takes 21 days to develop or break a habit?!?! That seems like forever. But I have one. Break it/make a new one... 21 days from now... I want to be successful... It's personal... But it will make me AND my family much happier... 21 days. Hello happier me, hello happier family.

Clutter. In the house. In my mind. On the to-do list.

I want to throw it all out the door.

Start fresh.

Feel like this!

There's a million "Reasons" why I'm feeling this way. Kitchen Renovation would be #1 on the list! My babies are just that, still babies... WAY too many trips this summer...

But really it all boils down to ME... 

How crazy I CHOOSE to let my life become.

Seriously, I feel too busy to let even one more thing fall onto my plate.

That's not good.

Plate. You need to be emptier.

Hello spring cleaning (in July! :) (kind of) of the house, of the mind.

(I'm not going to go crazy with the mop and duster... But STUFF has to go)

Projects. You will wait.

Until you fit onto my plate.

AFTER my babies are kissed, loved on and happy :)

Challenged...

I needed to hear this today...

Your worth and value aren’t found in what you can do.  They aren’t found in how well you can run a committee, organize a retreat or handle a job.  They aren’t found in how well you can sing or direct VBS.  Your value isn’t found in your accomplishments because things never stay accomplished.  Your worth is found in who you are in Christ.  You don’t have to do anything.  Just be.
