Grace in small things, February 15, 2017
- Some fresh air and sunshine today...
- Learned some big lessons about overcommitting and what's important yesterday...eg everything does not have to be perfect for holidays and all my family really wants is to spend time together...Luke broke my heart yesterday when he said, as I was rushing around stressed and distracted trying to make things nice, "Mama, there's not enough love in this Valentine's Day." Next year (well really, next holiday) I'm going to make sure it's just all about time and love for my husband and kids...
- Stories before bed are so important to Miss Zo...sometimes I want to skip because it's late but always worth it to indulge her for the happiness it brings...
- Zo's been sick but is not getting sicker (knock on wood)...
- Planned the kids' birthday party (which is only a month away) with them and Daddy at dinner tonight...kids are excited and I'm going to plan ahead and keep it simple!! (So the day of is nothing but attention and love from a relaxed mama.)
XO
