Happy Monday! I don’t have much time to write today, due to three sick kids who need extra cuddles from mommy, but I wanted to share something that’s been stirring in my heart over the past couple weeks. This video was shown at our church recently, and I can’t get it out of my head. I’ve watched it several times now, and each time it reminds me how quickly life is passing by and how I need to intentionally soak up the daily moments that can so easily slip away.
As a mom with young kids, some days can seem so long, but good grief, the years go by way too fast. In just two and a half years, Baylen will go to kindergarten and I’ll never have him home with me full time again! I want to look back someday and know that I savored each day with my sweeties. I believe in my heart that I’m in the best days of my life right now, getting to spend quality time with them all day every day.
If you haven’t seen it yet, take a look and let it inspire you too!
XOXO,
Amber

I can’t even click on the video because i just KNOW it will bring tears! My big girl is going to Kindergarten in just eight months and I’m already crying! Great post – we do need to cherish the time and I just cut out one of my Mom groups so I could cherish the days with her before she “leaves me.” 🙂
Oh Beth I can’t believe you’ll have a Kindergartner in just a few months. I’m thinking about putting Baylen in preschool a couple days a week in the fall and it’s already making me hyperventilate a little! 🙂 That’s great that you intentionally cut something out to spend more time with her – I’m gonna need to be careful not to make our schedule too busy!
