This is my life.

No time to change out of my work clothes.
A big hug as soon as they run through the door.
All three of them “hungy”.
Easy dinner that they eat or a fancy/healthy dinner that they pick at.
Someone asking for a “movie” every 5 minutes.
Baby smiles.
Books being read to me and books being thrown in my face so that I can read them.
Toys covering my floor.
A dog and cat being chased or their “tail” pulled.
Puzzles pulled out right before bedtime.
Fussy kids because they are getting tired.
& LOTS of cuddles.

This is my life and I wouldn’t change a dang thing. ❤️

Daughters

Thank god for little girls. & thank god for give me a daughter.

Growing up I always said that I wanted two boys and a little girl. I thought boys were easier but I also wanted a daughter to dress up and teach everything I knew to.

I wanted dresses. I wanted those cute headbands. I wanted pink and glitter.

I wanted to teach her about makeup (which I’m still learning myself). I wanted to do her hair. I wanted someone to go shopping with.

I wanted to raise her to be independent, strong willed and determined to get every goal she sets in life.

Even if she decides to hate everything listed above.

I wanted a child just like me.

& god delivered.

I got my two boys and my beautiful little girl.

She’s me to a T.

& I could not thank god enough for making me her mama.

Parenthood

Parenthood is hard. Parenthood is messy. Parenthood is beautiful. & Parenthood is emotional.

Some days I don’t feel like I’m a mom. Some days the love I feel overwhelms me. Some days I feel like I am doing this parenting thing correctly. & some days I feel like I’m failing.

I have three children. & I love them more than anything in this world.

My oldest son is his Daddy through and through, which makes me absolutely adore him. He is ambitious, he is loving and he know what he wants. He loves to “work” and hates to sit still. If I had to guess who will take over the family business, it will be him.

My daughter is my mini me. She is the most beautiful girl in this world. & she makes me look at myself differently. She is sassy and so dang smart. & she is definitely a mommy’s girl (which I absolutely love!).

& my youngest is a beautiful mixture of my husband, his siblings and myself. At just 4 months old he knows what he wants and when he wants it. And he has made me cry, made my heart ache and made me nervous more than anyone or anything in my life. He is my miracle baby. & he is the perfect addition to our family.

So yes, parenting is hard. It is beautiful. & it is the best thing in the world.

I love seeing my husband and myself in the eyes of our children. They are us through and through and no one can take that away.
