This Too Shall Pass

Time is Flying- 

My girls are Growing-

We're blessed & Stressed-

Trying to savor my time as a stay at home mom, & remain grateful. 

I don't want to rush raising my girls. I want to sit back & simply savor each and every little moment. 

Like a nice cup of coffee.

Writing for me has always proved to be therapeutic. So If you will..

Claire is at such a trying age.

With the eye rolls and constant rebuttal to my every word. I can't win with her, at least not today. I'm learning, to gracefully walk away. Although she knows just what buttons to push. Not sure if it's 3rd grade's harsh demands or if she truly hates me.  

I'm praying. I'm praying my 

Joyful, silly hearted Claire-Bear returns to me. 

For now I sit & wait. 

Mom Thoughts

Motherhood is...

Magical, messy, beautiful & downright hard. I'm humbled, overwhelmed & unkept most days. I'm a glorified maid, cook, & referee. Everything I do is usually for someone else.. This job is a calling. I always knew when I was younger, being a mother, a stay at home one was my destiny. Although I'm

Not perfect & not always certain of my decisions. One thing I do know. My girls are my everything. All things are based around them. My life and it's entirety! My whole existence is to be at their beckon call!! It's what I do! Soccer practice, Dance Classes, School parties, Birthday parties. The list continues to multiply! And at the end of the day I am so happy, fulfilled & yes run down. I feel so thankful. I love this life. 

They're growing up. Someday they'll both be adults deciding weather or not to have babies of their own. Weighing the pro's & Cons. Making hard decisions and giving up a lot of things in order to do so. Until that day comes, never will they know my love for their sweet little souls. I hope & pray they both look back at the mother I am & was, and say that's how I want to be!! 

Feeling so blessed to be their mom!!

Our 3rd Grade Girl

 My Claire is a sweet lil 3rd grade girl! 

 

 Off she goes in her dress & tennis shoes

 

 The girl is such a free spirit, you wouldn't even know she walked into a new school. She is so un afraid of new. I just love that about her. She's outgoing and will make friends with anyone. 

I'm praying my girl has a great year. Full of wonderful friends and teachers who bless her life with love. I'm praying she grows & learns to her full capability!!

 The day before school we treated ourselves to Manicures. We always enjoy a mom & Claire day!
