A few photos from life lately!
Love. Her.
Full hands, full heart. You know the drill. ;)
So after my really rough day on Thursday (thank you for all the sweet comments, here and on Instagram!), I have been challenging myself to be very intentional with how I react to things.
Being a mom is hard. Being a mom of two little ones is really hard. I don’t have this thing down to a science (nobody does), nor do I handle everything with grace 100% of the time (heck, I don’t even do that 50% of the time…), but it is something I know that I need to, and want to!, work on.
So that is my challenge, in this whole motherhood journey. To handle whatever comes my way with grace. To thank my lucky stars for all that I have. My babies are HEALTHY. Praise God, they are healthy!!! My family is MINE. This life is so sweet and wonderful! And sure, there are hard times and challenges that arise, but I wholeheartedly believe that there are infinite more good times, and that is something to be celebrated!

Being a mom is tough, being a mom of two is even tougher. I think you’re doing a great job :) I didn’t see your post on instagram, but I think you’re doing a wonderful job. We all have days where we’re stressed and freaking out or just having a bad day, mother and toddler. You’re still a good mother. If any parent says they’ve never gotten stressed out or in tears one day, they’re lying. It’s part of parenthood.

gosh having two is so tough!! it really is. absolutely exhausting. and seriously, i feel so frustrated and defeated sometimes, but like my mom tells me, it’s okay to lose your patience sometimes, too. :) you’re human but you’re a sweet and wonderful mama and your babies are loved and they will always know that!
Aw thank you so much for that, girl!! I love what your mama said- so true!!! I’ll remember that one :)
