This is a great post. I am constantly running around and trying to get through the day and I love those moments when I step back and look at my daughter – really look at her – and admire this gift I was given. She is the most precious thing in this world, and I too, am doing the best I can as a mommy.

And another part of that past that really resonated with me was how as a parent the days are long but the years are short. Truer words could not be spoken. I remember first hearing that years ago when I was up to my eyeballs in routines and nappies and crying and fussiness and thinking ‘yeah right!’..
Now as those same babies are 11, 9 and 6 it seems like those really hard days were only yesterday.
As I ponder the more ‘tween’ issues of cliques and self confidence and social media and body image I need to remind myself again…that the days (and nights) seem long – but before I know it I’ll be standing at high school graduations

I love your posts xox

Exactly. It’s this wistful, profound love.

Argh. Made my heart ache in the good way. I love those moments where – you just know…you need to stop and reflect.
