Today was a tough day.
There were feelings of self-doubt , worry and overall unworthy parenting.
Among the chaos and the screams today I found some time to capture some moments to remember that there is beauty in the moments in between.
Thank you Sarah, for reminding me to steal some beauty in a hectic moment.
As a
friend from across the globe reminded me today that these are the moments we live for and hope remain with us. I seized an opportunity today when they were quietly playing alone, dropped a snack next to them and sneaked out for a walk in my garden.
Alison and I know a thing of two about taking "the easy way out."
At the end of the day we put on some world music that seemed to kill the unpleasant feelings we all had and went to bed with happy hearts. My girl
Greta knows a thing or two about that.
I will be taking a break from doing the
creative writing challenges for a bit and get back to making more items for my
shop and blogging. I owe a huge thank you to
Kerstin and her family for playing along and encouraging me along the way.
Can't wait to see your adventures in knitting Kerstin!

YOU capture some of the best pictures and moments. Even if your day was less than stellar you made it a wonderful day still and ended it on a positive note :)
ReplyDeleteAww thanks for the love you always send me. It is never taken for granted sweet lady.
DeleteTough days is exactly when it's okay to take the easy way out. I'm glad you found the beauty in the small moments.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the post shout out, and have a beautiful weekend!
Gotta give it up to the ladies who get me through. Thanks Alison and have a great weekend too.
DeleteWe all have tough days, but not all of us can step back and still see the beauty that we have in that day. Kudos to you for doing so. I myself try to be remind myself of how life is good; we only have this day once, make the best of it. You're doing great mama! Your babies are beautiful just like their Mama ;) And WOW what a honor>> thanks for the shout out!!! Surprise surprise! XOXOXO You are such a sweetheart, I'm glad we connected!

Loving your space! You have a great sense of humor and style. So great we connected and will be visiting more often. Now heading over to save my comment over there again.

Thanks so much for the shout-out - I have all your creativity challenges saved and we're excited to use them throughout the summer.
ReplyDeleteAlma, we have worries and not-so-stellar parenting moments every single day in this family, but I always try to make sure the days end on a high note. I think that's a win.
You captured some precious moments - those are the ones worth remembering! xoxo!
So cool to have you in my fan club!
DeleteYeah ending it well is always the key. My kids go to bed dancing and sing songs when they wake up. I still have a monitor in my little ones room and listen to her wake up singing. That is definitely a win.
Thanks for the compliments and motivating me to get back to blogging .
Your knit project is looking great by the way !
Nice reading. Glad you could turn your day around. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kimmie ! You are so sweet to comment. I love that you stop by here.
DeleteSabes como nadie mas capturar esos momentos y sensaciones de las que estamos rodeados dia a dia. Hay que exprimir cada uno de esos momentos que no volveran....siempre me enseñas y me haces reflexionar....os quiero familia!!!
ReplyDeleteY sabes que te adoro mi niña!
DeleteBesos!
Glad you found the good moments, sometimes they're hard to see amongst the tears and frustrations...and yay for getting some time out for yourself! I always laugh when I see or hear of time out for children as I think it's the parents who need it more :) big hugs to you x
ReplyDeleteUgh! I hate days like that but I'm glad your little people will able to reassure you with love. And, yes, music always helps.
