I Love...
The way 
You are the oldest but act more as a leader than a boss
The way 
You guide your sister and take the time to treat her kindly
The way 
You are becoming your own person and surprising me daily with your choices
The way 
You can sometimes feel so much wiser than 4
The way 
You are so curious and thoughtful
The way 
You love to crack jokes and you can almost see you waiting with butterflies in your stomach to see how hard people laugh
The way 
You are such a boy in so many ways but also always my baby
The way 
You come into our room in the morning and without a word just slide into my side of the bed for a little cuddle time
The way 
You know right from wrong
The way 
You are always trying to be better at whatever it is you are doing
The way 
You are learning to manage your expectations and reality
The way 
You are always coming up with something creative to play
The way
You will try anything
The way 
You trust, you trust with your whole being and it is incredible
The way
You watch your surroundings and always offer to help people
The way 
You are so specific about your likes and dislikes but flexible and understanding at the same time
The way
You are so logical and as long as I take the time to explain something, always reasonable
The way 
You love to entertain others and don’t ever shy away from attention
The way 
You are independent and capable beyond your years
The way 
You will leave your mark in this world
I Love Your Way

Many people in my life that have been dropping off social media or using it less and less because in one way or another they feel bad about something their lives, watching others seemingly “flawless” lives unfold. To be honest every time I hear this my first thought is, WHAT?!?!?! You don’t really believe that do you?  All I can think is, you realize that’s like rolling out of bed, morning breath, hair a mess, shamelessly dressed and  turning on the TV, to see a model at a red carpet event looking flawless and thinking, "that’s it I will never be as pretty as her today SO...I am just going to go back to bed," right?  Those are totally different things, as different as the FB snippets of ones life and then their reality. As different as your life and their life, as different as what God has prepared you for and what He prepared them for. What an unfair comparison you make of yourselves!  Why torment yourself like that? My second thought is that I find it ...

In case you haven't noticed I am unbalanced, mentally, physically, emotionally, you name it. I have no shame. You probably are too, you're probably just wiser than to blog about it. (boring! where's the entertainment value in that?) Truthfully up until now I have not had the desire to balance much, I have enjoyed my crazy, fun yet flighty, busy yet lazy, always doing something yet rarely completing anything unorganized self but man being unbalanced is exhausting. That's why I am working on balancing my life a little more. My husband and I have simplified our lives very much over the past year and it feels fantastic. I love being what I used to consider selfish (my definition for not trying to save the world and everyone in it every day all day) for once and really just focusing on us and our little family. Now that my priorities are in order I am working on balancing those things to fine tune my life a little more. As part of that effort Aaron and I have been work...

My thoughts on a big question.....I would love to hear yours......

I am starting to think that the grass will always feel like it is greener on the other side, even when we’ve been there and realize that is stinks like manure.  Stay at home mom vs. working mother to me is one of the great debates, which is harder? Which would you rather? I have contemplated those questions many many times and I use the green grass analogy because as it stands now I think the working mother some times sits at her desk and thinks about the pros of the stay at home mom’s life and vice versa rather than the pros of their own situation. Not everyone will be able or want to experience both lifestyles to realize they both really have their own very distinct set of pros and cons. It’s been on my brain a lot lately because I wasn’t always a stay at home mom and the “honeymoon” phase is starting to wear off a bit. I am coming up on my one year anniversary of becoming a stay at home mom, to be exact June 4th was my last day of work and will be forever etched in my mind bec...
