Journaling.

Trying something new with the blog... Making it more of just a quick journal with pics from my phone and little snippets of documentation so I can remember the moments I want to. 

This paper is one Maia brought home from school that she had done during their free writing time. It made me so happy. Like maybe I wasn't completely failing as a mother after all. Being a mom is hard work! Lately I have been feeling so frazzled and like all I do is get after my kids. I hate feeling that way! Motherhood brings me the most joy but I sometimes wonder why I don't always feel that joy. I know part of it is over scheduling and over doing and focusing too much on things that aren't important.  I'm trying to change that! It's definitely a process...every day I tell myself that today is going to be different. I'm not going to yell at my kids. I'm not going to get after them about the little things.  I'm going to spend quality time with them. Bedtime is going to be a happy time and not a crazy time.... Then the day begins and I feel I've already failed by about 8am:) But I'm so thankful for the sweet moments that come that make it all worth the hardwork. Because every day there are moments of sweetness among all the craziness. Love my family more than anything!!
